Found some burnt components and tracks on the main board\nnext to the ribbon cable leading to the front panel and LCD. This\nprevented the 12V from reaching the front panel. Did a small mod to get\nthe 12V around this burnt track. Still no switch on from the 817. Then\nfound another burnt component, the 5V regulator next to the power switch\non the front panel PCB. Temporary replaced the 5v surface mount with a\n7805 regulator, but still no joy. Beginning to think that a lot more\nmust have been damaged by the power spike. \n\nAnyone out there got more of a service manual to try and track the\nfault? Otherwise anyone got an 817 that has damage elsewhere from which\nI could try and swop subparts / PCB to get mine working again?\n\nRegards\nPieter\nZS1PK\n\n\n-- \nThis message is subject to the CSIR's copyright terms and conditions,\ne-mail legal notice, and implemented Open Document Format (ODF)\nstandard. \nThe full disclaimer details can be found at\nhttp://www.csir.co.za/disclaimer.html.\n\nThis message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by\nMailScanner, \nand is believed to be clean.
