This is marginally off topic, but I picked up a DecTalk Express recently
and I'm trying to get it working.
Currently, I get nothing out of it whatsoever. I discovered that one of
the surface-mounted fuses had blown so I've replaced that and I'm still
getting nothing, though I am now at least getting a low voltage (about
.5V) at components on the board when it's powered on.
This unit has a rechargable ni-cad battery in it (that I'm pretty sure
no longer holds a charge) and I'm curious whether a functioning battery
is required for normal operation.
Thanks as always,
Josh
