Dear Todd,
I have received the documentation and it really helped us out with understanding the system better.
We were able to repair several problems with the system but now we have another problem which we are not able to solve. In short: The system boots up to white screen and does not go any further.
We have done the following repairs to the system in the last 4months:
- Januari 2012:
Problem = The system would not boot up and smoke appeared form the rear of the machine. No monitor output.
Repair = We Replaced a burned varistor on the PS4 ACIM power supply.
Result = The machine worked fine after this repair.
- April 2012:
Problem= System did not boot up. Only cooling fans and the monitor gave no output (black_. LED which indicates problem with digital power supply PS2 was blinking rapdily.
Repair = Replaced a defective JFET on the digital power supply PS2.
Result = The system now boots up and LED is not showing errors with the power supply. You can now hear the system starting up and the monitor switching on giving the color bars and than shows a white screen. The system does not do anything else but stays on this white screen. We can also hear a "buzzing" sound from the rear of the machine which was not the case prior to repairing the PS2 digital power supply.
Could you please advice us or guide us to what you think the problem might be in this case?
Regards,
Gordon
