TransData Plasma

[LS120]

the 286-10 board had a bad battery...

[LS120]

cleaned up the battery and removed the keyboard plug as that was bad too..

[LS120]

have replaced the keyboard socket and Desided the keyboard IC socket look bad so have replaced that too..

[LS120]

installed the card and put the plasma on to the card and set to plasma on back of card. but dont know what goes where on the card..

[LS120]

or the 286 for that matter.. i plugged up the psu and powered on... wow it booted.. quick get the phone to take a pick of the boot screen as there is nothing on the board to ID the maker.. i mean nothing.. and i'm not the only one with one of these.. then come back in kitchen to a plumb of smoke.. shit... turn it off.. took out the psu and an electrolytic cap went.. and i don't have any 22uf at 250v.. so it will wait for them to come in.. i did see it's a T.M.C in bios but all i have seen are not mine.. the CPU and ram are in the wrong places. i have worked out the speaker connector.

This one sounds like a real adventure!

well finaly got the last parts to fix the psu in the plasma..

[LS120]

plugged it all together and power it on all good no smoke get a bios beep because i don't have keyboard plugged in.. so check screen and nothing.. power down and re-seated the card and check plugs.. and test again.. still nothing on screen. tested the 3 voltages going to the card and all are in spec.. so i will have to do some head scratching.. i even tried the other video card and still nothing.

[LS120]

ok so have had some time to look this over to find out whats going on.. and found i think whats the fault... maybe.. a +5 volt lead was lose (2 were crimped together) and one popped out when testing voltages out off the psu plug. well it seems to work now... lol (wires circled in green)

[LS120]

and the proof.... tada.....

[LS120]

now to connect a keyboard to see if all is working ok..
