I think I found my problem! No, I just don't
think... I'm absolutely sure
of it!
OK, pin 1 was OK. +5v. AAAGGHHH! Pin 5 is -12v!!!!! Pin 3 reads +12v.
Ouch... So, is my A500 pretty much fried now? Guess I'll now as soon as I
get the PS fixed(if it can be... any ideas as to what might be wrong? any
common failures in A500 PS's?).
Happened often, there were third party p/s's available that replaced the
500's brick.... I know, I had to buy one of 'em after my original died & an
attempted repair didn't work :-(
cheers,
Lance
