maple "mavica" syrup [6502] @mavica_again@computerfairi.es

is anyone in southwest UK (and can pick up in person) in want of a SE FDHD for a negotiable price? i don't have the space to keep this one.

mouse is missing, starts up and looks for boot so electronics are mostly ok but hard drive isn't, screen is incredibly dim and grows dimmer by the second suggesting either analog board recap or CRT failure

...i measure against EMI_GND instead

i tried briefly sounding off with the continuity meter to tell where this diode goes but i couldn't find anything. i'm happy to take higher resolution pictures and answer questions, unfortunately the daughtercard where this diode is does not have its schematics released unlike the main computer board and there aren't many people left active in the chumby forum

#electronics #chumby #reverseengineeing can anyone help me figure out what diode might've been here? another one in the same board with the same footprint reads 3U and in a pinch i could take apart another working chumby but because it involves peeling off glue i would rather not (and i don't think looking at that one would tell me anything)

i believe this diode is keeping the chumby from powering as without it RAW_PWR and GND on the chumbilical read 0V although i can see the input 12V if...

anyone in UK interested in early, potentially engineering/production sample android phones? got offered an HTC handset but not looking to accumulate more of those myself

a second chumby..?

wait...

oh.
