Replaced C759 | Replaced C759 (11,000 uF 15V). | ||
Filter | It was shorted, showed high ESR (8 Ohms) and 8,000 uF capacitance. | ||
Voltage should be 5.0. | Filter cap replacement raised the 5V rail voltage but did not fix the issue. | ||
Did not check | Voltage should be 5.0. | ||
Test readings showed 3.7V before and 3.9V after. | |||
Did not check current draw after, however, it is most assuredly higher than normal and still loading the supply beyond capacity. | |||
Continued troubleshooting, located high ESR (486 ohms) C789 5V Filter Cap replaced. | Continued troubleshooting, located high ESR (486 ohms) C789 5V Filter Cap replaced. | ||
