Hi Pinx

I actually work for Honywell (Gent) in the R&D dept (Honeywell now own ADE)

If you let me know the component ID from the board or the component position I will let you know the value (not till monday til I get to the schematics though)

Dom

Hi Dom,

thats real kind of you, i have taken the unit apart today and on closer inspection of whats left of the component it looks like a SMT diode and not a capacitor, i have taken a pic and put it on some webspace here:

Ignore the other stuff on the page, thats info for a mate.

If you can find me the value of the diode that would be great,

Thanx again,

Pinx

Hi Pinx

I fogot to ask...................is there a label with a 2434-xxx number on it?

Just so I know what varient schematic im looking for. The pcbs went through a few different issues

pretty sure its a pmll4148 diode though

Dom

Hi Pinx,

The diode you want is a 5v6 zener. ZMM P5V6 in a SOD 80 (mini melf) package

Regards

Dom

Hi Dom,

it has a label on the processor on the pcb which says 2AI162 V2_1.HEX The pcb has screen printed on it 4269-469.03 which i'm guessing is the part number.

Thanks for finding out the component details, i owe you one, sadly the 4 different suppliers i use for components don't do that type, but i do keep in stock BZX79-C 5V6 which is the axial lead (through hole type) version, so maybe with a bit of inventive soldering and some heatshrink, i'll be able to solve the problem.

Thanx again for all your help

Pinx

hi again pinx have to admit you have got the skill but wouldnt it be mended now if you had just bought a new panel lol

do you do repairs for everyone ie could i send you something that would be obsolete but irreplacable in the future it might be handy to know you

angus

Hmmm normally i only repair Arcade stuff, but i suppose there is nothing to stop me looking at other stuff, it would just depend on what work load i had on at any one time and whether i had/could source the components for the repair.

If the event ever occurs, you can always ask and if i'm in a position to help i will.

Pinx

Thanx again for all your help Dom,

system is now installed and works a treat, so my mates chuffed (happy faces all round), the BZX79-C 5V6 zener i had worked perfect even though it was the axial lead type, so at 17 pence plus 5 minutes to solder it in, it was well worth having a go at it, i'm off down the pub now as he's taking me for a pint :
