Re: Who's up to some remote troubleshooting?


 

A word of caution. The U2750 might have been blown in such a way to damage
circuitry in working plug-in. Personally, I would use this test as a last
resort, after verifying other things, like pulling out U1750, sending signal
through channel B and checking where does it get lost (or finding out that
it was U1750 that was at fault for not releasing commong lines).

Hi Lynn,

I'll be the first to admit I don't know much about troubleshooting stuff
with IC's in
it but here is what I would do, if it were mine, and I had the stuff that
you have.
It sure sounds like U2750 to me . . . and to you too, because you have
replaced it
twice with no luck. To be certain it is not U2750, I would like to see
the original
U2750 removed from the bad 7A26 installed in the working 7A26, and verify
that it
works there. I always worry that something might be blowing every U2750
that I plug
into the bad 7A26. If that were the case, you could indeed change U2750
twice and
still not get the 7A26 to work properly . . . and you would have 3 bad
IC's after
that. I would want to see those IC's work in a good 7A26. The next thing
I would do
is check to make sure the power supplies and grounds are getting to U2750.
Could be
a bad IC socket. Just a couple of ideas . . .

Knowns:
1. I have another 7A26 that works perfectly in that same bay so
it's not the
scope and it's not the 7B53A.

2. If I feed the square wave only into channel B, I can use the
other scope
and follow it right up to U2750. The input pins to U2750 have the square
wave (fuzzy but square). The output pins do not (fuzzy and flat). (Note:
If
I feed the square wave only into channel A, I can see it on both the
input
and output of U1750.) The DC voltages around U2750 are very close to
those
indicated on the schematic and appear to me to be reasonable. I did
resistance checks on the resistors in the input network to U2750.

3. I have tried:
a. replacing U2750 twice
b. replacing U1750
c. replacing Q920, Q940, Q960, and Q980.
