Okay,
Been working on the units and I am finally getting somewhere.
- I blew U1 on the Display board. Anyone know what chip this is? (its the large 40-pin chip) Marking:
P8041A 1210
8423
535419
Intel '77
I confirmed that this was the issue by swapping it out between the displays.
Display 1:
- Missing the bottom right segment on all digits (I believe its segment 'c' according to the schematic, Figure 8-3). Any idea what would cause this?
Display 2:
- 10th character sometimes disappears, sometimes is faded, sometimes is fine. I traced that this is controlled by U4 (pin 11) and U8 (pins 2 & 17). I can replace both, but which is the most likely problem? Anyone know where I can get U8 (UDN6118A) chips?
Thanks for the help so far.
Barry
---------------------------------
So I got both systems working, on to the next problem.
The display on one is missing a few of the lines (mostly the bottom right
ones). any idea where to start?
The other, the display flashes random characters and beeps. Thing that ticks
me off is that it was mostly working (one character was dim) and I unplugged
the connector thinking the power was off. What damage did I do?
