Hello Listers,
thanks a lot to the people who directed me to the pages that explain
how to open the dock and the power supply.
I succeded and have the opened and parted power supply in my hands,
I'll figure I'll give this job to someone else who is more
experienced than I am in soldering. Therefore I want to make clear
what I want him to do.
I easily find the C28. But on one of the pages it says it might be
C24 instead, who needs to be changed.
In fact, when I follow the direction on
www.sci.ccny.cuny.edu/~cleary/computers/duo.html I find this:
"Find capacitor C28, quite close to the wall connection pieces but on
the other side of a vertical circuit board. It is just on the other
side of that board from the word "CAUTION" printed on the board,
lined up with the letter O."
... pointing me to the C24 in my power supply. It's next to a huge
black C19 and beside a R16. I can read sth like "100uF" on it.
When I can read the word "caution" (the fan is on the left side then)
it is "on top" of the vertical circuit board (that seperates it from
the word "caution"). It's somehow tilted away from the vertical
circuit board, as if the board doesn't leave enough space, pushing
the C24 away
C28, OTOH is just below the word "caution", imediatly next to it, next to R4.
The situation looks like this(not to scale, use non-prop font like courier):
C19
F
A C24 R16
N ------------------ <--- dottet line stands for
C A U T I O N vertical circuit board
C28 R4
Which capacitor should be changed? I feel like it's C24, but
everywhere it's said capacitor C28. Both look pretty much the same to
me, small black cylinders.
Thanks for the help, again. Sorry, when the explainations sound
awkward, I'm trying to make it sure and this is not my mother tounge.
Thomas
