Well, actually the reason I replaced that particular module is because the
board blew. I got a used replacement from the DEC salvage guy I usually
What do you mean 'the board blew'? Did the magic smoke come out (if so,
out of what?). Was there a hole burnt through the board, melted traces?
FWIW, unless the board was actually burnt, I think it would be
repairable. I once did something very silly to a H754 brick with the
result that 4 transsitors blew apart, one ressitor totally burnt up, etc.
And that brick is working again now.
And the +15V board is actually very simple. It's a linear regulator...
deal with and it came back to life - sans the H745
coming up.
I will ask you once more. Have you done any actual electrical tests on
this PSU?
