Just to
clarify : What exactly is missing? THe PSU PCB, or the entire=20=
lower chassis (PSU, HPIB connector, expanion
backplane)? The PSU =
iteself=20
is a fairly normal SMPSU, although IIRC it does
have one or two =
strange=20
output voltages for the printer and the display.
Good question ... I don't know. Where the plug (male prongs) should be =
is a hole.
But the HPIB connecotr and the expansion slot connecotrs are present?
What does the power switch on the front feel like? Any 'click'?
Ihe Inbtegral PSU is a single PCB that mounts in the bottom chassis. The
power switch is soldered on this PCB, the IEC mains input plug is part of
a filter unit that's fixed ot the back panel of the lower chassis and is
conencted ot the PCB by a couple of wires and faston terminals.
If I look through the hole into the inside, I see
nothing, just empty =
space.
But I think you wouild see the PCB and components through the hole.
Sounds like the entire PSU is missing.
I'm leery of taking a working Integral apart to compare it to this one =
...
I've had trouble putting them back together in the past :)
YEs, the are a bit of a fiddle. The service manual is on bitsavers, but I
find it's easier to take it apart in the following way :
Open the top, repmveo keyboard, anything stored next to the printer
(mouse, etc), ink cartrridge (naughty -- do not leave that in the machine).
Remove the expansion PCBs or slot covers.
Remove the rear panel, take out the ROM module, take off the rear
screening plate
Disconnect the 2 cables form the floppy drive. Take out the 3 screws (2
in the well next to the printer, on at the bottom, going into the bottom
chassis) that hold the drive in place and slide it out. Recover the eject
button and spring
Remove the screws hodling the logic chassis in place (2 of them are hex
spacers). Easy it up and unplug the cable form the back of the display.
Unplug the cables at the bottom edge of the PCBs. Ease it out further,
remove the screen from the Logic B (front logic) PCB, then disconenct all
the cables to the THinkjet mechanism. Tale out the logic assembly. The
rear PCB (Logic A) contains the CPU, memory management, ROM socket, RAM
and HP-HIL circuits. The front PCB (Logic B) contains the rest of the
I/O -- HPIB, floppy controlelr, display controller, HPIL/Thinkjet
interface, sound generator, real time clock.
Undo the nut visible through the expansion conenctor PCB. This is a right
pain to get back, but it has to come off. Take out the 4 screws and slide
out the bottom chassis.
Undo all the nuts and screws holding the cover on the bottom chassis
(notice the empty screwhole, it takes a scre that holds the floppy drive
bracket in place). Ease off the cover, it helps to remove the jackposts
fro mthe HPIN copnenctor and recover the bracket and connector parts from
inside the chassis. You can now see the PSU.
