Re: [emax] Diagnosing non-functional Emax

sounds like you have lost the 5v connection

the lcd uses 5v the cf card reader uses 5v and the floppy uses 5v

i would check the 5v rail on the psu

  Hi all,

  Now it's my turn… I'm sad to report that my beloved Emax SE Rack which I upgraded to SCSI and slim floppy is no longer booting.

  Symptoms are: PSU voltages look good at the drive power connector. All LEDs on the front panel come on at power-on except load and enter. No LCD display and no floppy or CF reader activity. :-(

  I have re-seated all cables but have not yet removed and re-seated any socketed ICs. It has just been sitting in a rack, so nothing has been jostled.

  Any suggestions on where to start?

  -Dave

  p.s. even more frustrating: I missed out on a $60 working Emax SE on a local Craig's list ad which posted the day before I discovered my Emax was dead. :-(
