Title: DMM readings wrong on PCB A for CP4500
Post by: florence88 on April 08, 2022, 11:51:25 PM

Hi there,

I am getting incorrect readings for the first stage of setup on the CP4500. On the negative pins the readings are correct, on the positive they are incorrect. Here are the readings:

V+ ->     -0.72V
V-  ->     -16V
+12V -> -0.61V
-12V  -> -12V

I've reflowed and resoldered the joints that needed them. Any help is appreciated.

Okay my apologies, disregard that post.
It appears to be the Lindell chassis that has either stubborn or faulty card connectors. The connectors barely accept a card, and I eventually noticed that the LED would shine brighter when I was holding the card forced into the slot. My partner measured while I held it in, and I got the correct readings. Will contact Lindell about this.
