Fierodoug5 Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 It's wierd, even with J15 unplugged, the 12 volts dips to 8 when the drive motor spins up slowly before recovering to 12. Almost like a "weak" 12 volts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost like a "weak" 12 volts? If your PSU is good then the 12V regulator might be bad, or alternately the transistor (I assume the 12V is switched via a transistor) is bad or going bad. It’s also possible you have a failing power cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
