Those rifa caps are evil the smell. Does your monitor have the extra flyback on it ?

DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

Re: Stuff and Things.
I seem to remember there being an adjustment on the analoge board for the output voltage.rubber_jonnie wrote: 25 Jul 2020 10:16 So today it's the turn of the analogue board, since it's only giving 4.3v on the 5v rail. I have a box of capacitors ready to be installed, but it does mean one thing, I need to remove the analogue board and that means discharging the CRT, something I've never done before.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Re: Stuff and Things.
I expect there is, but the caps were pretty terrible, leaking badly so I'm getting them replaced first. The Rifa caps were split too but I didn't find those until I removed the analog board.stephen_usher wrote: 25 Jul 2020 23:47I seem to remember there being an adjustment on the analoge board for the output voltage.rubber_jonnie wrote: 25 Jul 2020 10:16 So today it's the turn of the analogue board, since it's only giving 4.3v on the 5v rail.

Re: Stuff and Things.
Just be careful. If there is an extra coil by the flyback it will be hot when your adjusting the voltage. It is fed off the transformer output directly.

Re: Stuff and Things.
OK, appreciate the warning. Fingers crossed when the caps are done, voltages will be back to normal and I won't need to adjust them.Tomswork wrote: 26 Jul 2020 00:05 Just be careful.
