Two GD1000s that were working properly before suddenly failed and yielded zero output.
One of them yields diminished output with ramdom flickering, while ther other one yields almost nothing at all.
Was told either the ICs got blown, or cold soldering was introduced somewhere.
In case of the former, it would be more economical to replace any blown ICs to resurrect a driver, rather then junking the driver and have a new one slapped in. And I know one tech guy who would promise me such fine repair work -- as long as I could locate the IC and supply him with a few for testing.
Can someone tell me what IC the GD (and BBNG) driver uses?
Which make, model, type, and specs? And where to get them?
Also what special precautions should be taken when installing/replacing these ICs?
Have asked Wayne about this but yet to get a response.
