Re: No sound in manual mode and tape load doesn't work

2008-11-24 by Andrew Jury

Hi Rod,

Welcome to the forum! As our esteemed collegues have pointed out you 
should re-visit the work carried out in and around IC31. Sometimes 
track disconnection is not visible so you will need to do a proper 
continuity test. Also check the print around the battery's old location 
as it is very susceptable to damage. Make sure the top surface of the 
PCB is free of spilled electrolyte and clean with IPA. If you still 
have no luck then read post 1934. I know it is a shameless plug, but 
help is on offer if you are at an impass!

Cheers,
Andy
