bookpile Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Ok, here's what's on my workbench for this afternoon. 1 working 7800 2 non working 7800's that do not power on. Any ideas where to start checking with the volt meter? I'm hoping to combine the two into one good one. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookpile Posted June 5, 2005 Author Share Posted June 5, 2005 Update- the power switch appears to be good, as it starts off at 5 and then cycles to 0 briefly when you push the button, and the same when you turn it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Sounds like you might have a bad voltage regulator, try replacing it and see what happens. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
