OK that explains why R1 burned up.
Q8 is shorted as well.
Do you have a replacement for Q8?
[/QUOTE
You r genius! I'm afraid I'm not! I have to order it!
one is the one I did replace (i take out soon after blowing R1 and put back the original) the other is newTwo new MPSA29, that have not been used?
Not totally positive Q8 is defective as of right now. There is another check to proved definitively
I tested it and from one side the current flow but not on the other side, so I think they goodone is the one I did replace (i take out soon after blowing R1 and put back the original) the other is new
I tested them, from one side the current flow but not on the other side, on both so I think they are good
is what i have done before to test it. do you wont the reading? other wise they are okFirst want to test the transistor you have on hand, not the one installed.
Using the Diode function connect the positive lead to the base and get reading from the base to emitter and base to collector.
I have exactly the same reading in both the new and the oldis what i have done before to test it. do you wont the reading? other wise they are ok
C:726 E:1.300 on bothI have exactly the same reading in both the new and the old
when i refer to the old, I mean the new, which has been installed and remove soon afterC:726 E:1.300 on both
no readingAnd the reading from emitter to collector?
the voltmeter is beepingNone of this make sense from the voltage readings previously.
Do the same test on Q8, you don't have to remove it from the board just make sure the power is OFF.
when you said check the voltage, do you mean change the meter from diode to volts?None of this make sense from the voltage readings previously.
