Since the 5V contact coming from the regulator remains constant, that would suggest it is not overheating/shutting down, right? I'm in contact with Pete (very nice how he is willing to answer questions from people who abuse his products, lol) but I've also gone and ordered another board. I don't think I'm capable of diagnosing or fixing whatever's wrong at this point; all the easy stuff has been tried, apart from dropping in new chips on faith and hoping they aren't cooked this time. The board is starting to really suffer from all the solder/desolder fiddling, too (I'll have to use jumpers rather than the traces to reconnect C3 at this point). Fresh start is probably a better use of my time & money (at 15$ per ship, replacing parts isn't exactly cost effective, either)
Here's a question; since the IRFD220 operates in a tuned circuit, would replacing the 25V rated small electrolytic capacitor with the much larger 35V rated metal film version screw with the FET's ability to amplify? There is of course a difference in resistance between the two, after all. TCB -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
