Hi all.
I sent this on to support, but I thought I might archive the issue in the
listserve to help others.
I completed assembly of my K3 up to page 45. Other than the antenna module
connectors being super hard to mate because of insertion firmness, all went
well. The next step was the resistance check.
12v connectors - 800K ohms ( > 3K ohm)
R36 test point - 240 ohms ( >150 ohm)
U12 - 260 ohm *** ( >500 ohm)
U13 - 420 ohm ( >150 ohm)
SO, U12 failed the test. I checked for shorts everywhere. No luck. I also
completely disassembled the RF board back to bare. Still the resistance checks
remain the same. I also used two other multimeters and got the same results. I
also have made sure that I'm not being dyslexic and looking at the wrong
voltage regulator.
I'll be waiting to hear from support on suggestions and post any
followup/resolution here. And, yes, I have (and used!) an anti-static mat and
wrist strap.
