Emehr Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I have had this Supercharger for at least ten years now. It's been taken apart as apparent by the exposed screw and the slice across the front label but I have never personally peeked inside or messed with it until now. Here's what's going on: There are two resistors wired in series and another part that is just hanging. My best guess is that this is an abandoned modification. This is based on this pic from another AA user's modification in this thread. Here's that pic: So I'm guessing that part hanging "out there" is supposed to be soldered to those two resistors. I would like to get this back to factory condition. Can I just desolder that component? What is it, by the way? It looks like it's attached to a factory solder point. Should something else be there? How about those two resistors? What part should be there (if any)? The Supercharger works just fine, by the way. Here are some pics of it in action: Thanks in advance!

CPUWIZ Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 It is a capacitor and it was connected to the resistor and capacitor off to the right. Likely a compatibilty modification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emehr Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 How would I go about returning it to stock condition? Can I clip that capacitor and call it good? It's working fine so I'm guessing those resistors are within spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Just solder it back onto the other two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emehr Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 I'm totally going to do just that. Why mess with what works, right? Is that how it came from the factory? Seems kinda sloppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Mine didn't look like that. I didn't have any hanging parts or such. My guess is you do have earlier model that needed a fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
