| "Charles" <charlesschuler@comcast.net>: Sep 24 12:12PM -0400 It quit working this week and found the 2 A fuse blown. Not in stock, so had to order some. In the meantime, took it apart and powered it from a bench supply and found it OK but only if the bench supply was turned on after the front panel switch was turned on. Turning it on or off with the front panel switch activated the crowbar circuit. I suspected a switcher problem and probing in circuit showed C36 (the main 5 volt switcher cap) to be measuring about 1 uF and the schematic shows 390 uF. Replaced it and all is fine now. Fuses are due tomorrow from Amazon (hate to make those folks work on Sunday). Lucky that the manual with schematics is a free download. Google showed it about 6 choices down. NEAT! |

If the 5V rail goes out of tolerance, an SCR is triggered to short the electros and blow the fuse. > I suspected a switcher problem and probing in circuit showed C36 (the main 5 > volt switcher cap) to be measuring about 1 uF and the schematic shows 390 > uF. Replaced it and all is fine now. ** The 390uF electro is the filter for the 5V rail and comes after a choke, high speed diode and switching transistor. With a value like 1uF it could not possibly do its job and the 5V rail would be full of HF switching noise which could trigger the SCR. Nice of HP to fit that crowbar and save all the digital circuits. I have worked on expensve gear that had massive damage or was a complete write off because of a wayward 5V rail. .... Phil |

You keep your service for the next two years BTW, this is roughly the price of just the *sales tax* on the iPhone 7: http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/09533937 So, the real question is whether the iPhone 7 is worth the sales tax on it since, admittedly, the tax on the iPhone 7 is close to the cost of a new $75 dual-SIM 16GB 4G Doogee HomTom HT7 Pro, which comes with a 1 GHz quad core 64-bit CPU with 2GB of RAM and a 5.5 inch 1280x720 HD IPS Screen and expandable storage to 128GB, removable battery, 13 & 5 megapixel cameras *and* a headphone jack! |

Why are you asking here? Worth is determined by the buyer, if you think it is worth it. Otherwise don't. Pretty simple from where I sit. I don't come to a usenet group to ask whether something is worth whatever the price is because the only thing anyone can give is an opinion about whether it is worth it to them. Not exactly rocket science you know. Of course, in the interest of good trollmanship you'll drag this out forever. -- Elfin |
