Re: HP41C: High current consumption Message #3 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 6 June 2003, 9:47 p.m., in response to message #2 by WAG
Hi, WAG;
thank you! Not so wild, could be. I thought about this:
1 - NUT processor is running low-power O.K., RAM/ROM too; at least, 40ľA tells me so. 2 - LCD module works fine with other mainboard (I measured the O.K. values with this module). 3 - I'd guess the LCD drive RAY-xxxx (or something like this) is messing up because it's one of the only "guys" that's not running when the calculator "hybernates" in low-power condition.
I want to listen the sort of clever guesses like yours. If there is any capacitor that's short-circuited then I must search for it. Oh, yes; the board is completely clean, it's a beauty! No corrosion or leakage signs! It's an orginal HP41C's board with RAM 1LA701 to 1LA705, in perfect condition, and I think it's owner wants to keep it this way. I have newer boards to replace, but I'll try to fix it.
Thanks a lot!
