Ian,

I would love to send you the board, sounds like a fair trade-off.  Let me check a few things first then if I don't get it resolved I will send it your way.

Thanks for the help!

Thomas

Hello John and all, new to the forums here, but not new to the vids and pins.  I have been trying to revive my I, Robot and I too and a bad power supply (it worked up until a week ago).  Per your recommendation I ordered Ian's rebuild kit (great kit) and had a couple of questions if I may.

I went ahead and installed the 4 current diodes that you had skipped.  Did you ever find out the scoop from Ian on the difference between what was on the board and what was supplied with the kit?  Also, could you or anyone verify the marking on the board for the diode orientation are correct?  This would be cr21, cr22, cr23, and cr24.

Before installing the kit, I was getting the shutdown LED.  Then I installed all of the caps and tested.  Still had shutdown.  Then I replaced all the components.  Now I do not get shutdown, but I do not get any voltages to the monitor, pcb, etc.  It's like the game is totally dead.  I verified AC going to the in of the power supply, as well as the fuses.  I then reflowed all connectors.

At this point, I'm going to check for continuity on some of the places I soldered components, but was hoping to pick your brain(s) and see what you think.

Thanks!

Thomas
