Well, it's time to get out the DVM and check the power supplies...measure on the ZPU pcb

took out the DVM for a quick round of measuring on the ZPU board - i used test point 1 through 4 (being +12V / +5V / -5V & GND). here are the results:

+12V :arrow: 11.88V check!

-5V :arrow: -4.99V check!

+5V :arrow: 0.44V ???
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

bingo - found the b***!

the F3 +5V power supply fuse on the PS-1000 pcb is blown! :evil:

the question (as always): slow-blow or fast-blow?

beep - beep - beep - beep - beep - beep - beep - beep ;D

i found an IDENTICAL fuse with IDENTICAL writing and IDENTICAL innards in my supply of fuses (still don't know whether slow- or fast-blow), put it in and heard the famous beeps!

:spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:

as if i hadn't said enough THANK YOUs to andré this year, here's another one. THANK YOU!!!

note to myself: before crying like a baby, next time check the fuses first ;)

@andré: unfortunately, the discoloration on the right side of the monitor still hasn't gone - guess i need one of those degaussing tools. where can i buy one and how much does it cost?

not green though, but its the same coil.
Works very well.

but i dont think they are very expensive...
great tool by the way to magnetize your screwdrivers too !  ;D

Google translate, translates "Degauss" from english to german "Entmagnetisierung"

Many time i see they call them "degauss wand" in english..
