Hi,
Posted a question in General section the other day about an IC here: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=13262
Now that I have my camera working again, I'm ready to troubleshoot this thing :-).
I am getting perfect power on the +5v and +15v rails, just no power on the 24v side. I replaced 4 components (the large cap was due to damage inflicted upon it while prying it from the hot glue sticking it down).
I have checked all components on the board that are not an SMD IC or other special device, and transistors. In other words, the black multi-pin items on the back of the board as well as a couple of little transistors and IC parts have not been properly evaluated (because I don't know how to check them properly). None of them show any short circuits.
All heat-sink mounted devices (MOSFETs, diodes, etc.) HAVE been thoroughly tested out of circuit and are in working order.
Another person posted on a forum in Mexico that he had the exact same components blown, and stated that he believed that the SMD IC in the image below would probably need to be replaced as well. But no follow up from him, so I don't know what ever happened with it. He did say the small IC906 (between the two heat sinks in Pic #1) was blown on his, but I only checked this one for shorts and found none. Not sure how to check it properly otherwise.
Any help and wisdom on this issue would be greatly appreciated. I am really stuck on this thing, but i don't want to give up and order another board because I already put $16 and hours of time into this one, and I would like to see it through and make a learning experience out of this. Lord knows I need the knowledge!
Thanks,
SK
