If you are going to the trouble of desoldering them, just replace them but do so with quality caps. > This C128 is blowing the fuse in the power source, and this power source > has been built from scratch from Ray Carlsen in the U.S.A.

Does the fuse blow as soon as you power up the C128? If there is a dead short in Ray's supply I would suggest that the supply fuse will blow even if the C128 isn't turned on. > I was also told isnt there a power regulator component that has 3 solder > legs that could possibly > cause power problems, Should this regulator read 12VDC?

IE 7805 = 5V, 7812 = 12V. Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2017-05-29 01:00:02
