Re: Emerson LC401EM2F

Hi all, my philips was also blown by the surge. I ordered a kit from shopjimmy to replace as per their recommendations for blown fuse. Found some rectifiers dead and replaced them all, aslo D1208 and IC1201. i used the BUDM's light bulb test. Looks like the parts from the kit were not same nominals. I crosreferrenced them on Mouser.com. Ordered the right Zener Diode D1208 and rectifiers. Now all in the light is on all the time and IC1201 is getting very hot. What else can i test? any ideas?

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi, I read the intros of couple of members here. My first computer was also Sinclair (Tashkent addition with fixes), which I assembled (soldered) from scratch and built my own keyboard and PC all in one box (metal case from ES keyboard). I did my own (all in the row) keyboard with huge mechanical/magnetic keys from original ES. But that was long time ago.
I am a software engineer of 20 years.
Now I have a house to take care of and I hate when things break on me.
I am the last one to replace broken appliance...
