check for -12V. I'll do that before I go to the effort of
pulling the chip and replacing it.
Checked it. -0.60v There's a Elpac/TDC CB-3811 DC-DC converter on the
board that may have died. I'll pull the board tomorrow and test right at
the legs of the device. Thanks for questioning whether or not I'd checked
the -12v supply!
Finding a replacement is gonna be a stone b*tch I think. :(
I may have to go to another DC-DC converter that is near the same size
that I can wire in.
Something might be loading it down, too. I'd check for that before assuming
it's bad.
