[sdiy] Does anybody have a BOM for the MPC3000 power PCB and power filter PCB?

[Sarah Thompson]

I'd go poking around with a scope on the SMPTE board, particularly on its
power, to see if something looks funky. It could be that you have a
component failure on there somewhere that isn't showing up in terms of
expected functionality, but is dumping a load of noise into the power (or
some such). I've seen that once before with a latch that was out of timing
spec on a SCSI interface that was dropping huge but incredibly short
glitches into the power that weren't visible at all without a fast (400MHz)
'scope -- our 20MHz cheapy made the power look totally clean.

Good hunting!
