Re: C103225 REV.2
One of those odd revisions I don't seem to see very often.

KD4CBM,
That is same motherboard I have in my 1040 STFM. You don't happen to have a schematic specific to the motherboard, do you? I am trying to locate the Reset circuit capacitors so I can replace them.
Thank you
Randy

Re: C103225 REV.2
From what I can see looking at a bunch of schematics, the reset circuit is much the same across all boards and uses a 556 IC labelled either U2 or U37, so you'll be looking at the electrolytic caps surrounding that and that are connected to it.MacTech05 wrote: Tue May 28, 2024 8:05 am KD4CBM,

rubber_jonnie,
Thank you for the info on finding the Reset Circuit capacitors on my 1040 STFM. While I still have not found a schematic for my 1040 STFM motherboard, I did find and download a different 1040 STFM motherboard schematic. Based on your information, I found the Reset Circuit capacitors immediately on the schematic and on my motherboard. I have replaced the capacitors.
Thank you!
Randy
