Re: [time-nuts] Fluke Thunderbolt Monitor Revisited

Following Steve Wiseman's generous offer I now have some SMD diodes and h ave modified my dismantled monitor. I haven't got a T'bolt running at the moment but the modified monitor boots up ok and then flashes "No Message" as I would expect. After adding all three series diodes I measured 5.0

Further to earlier comments I have now traced the full schematic of the 8051 replacement processor board in the iCruze display. The schematic is so close to Didier's original that I don't think it's necessary to provide a copy but could do so if required. Differences are described below and

Hi All As there still seemed to be unanswered questions regarding the circuitry of these I've separated the two PCBs from one of mine to determine exactly what is going on. Whether or not the regulator circuit is based in any way on the iCruze original processor board I don't know but it'
