Got power supply working - found bad resistor in primary (Duh!) Unfortunately, still have no function; no display. All PS voltages seem ok- do not have 3.5v on display ends. Do have VCC on front micro. Do I have to go thru main micro to see if Power-on switches, etc? Already spent too long on this one. Any 'secrets' Roger G.

Have primary voltages but nothing in secondary. Q1 has 'collector' voltage (actually it is MOSFET marked DGS and I don't remember which is the center leg)- but no pulsing. Have been all over the components in the secondary - could not find shorted component. Have had a couple of this chassis with bad micros but power was OK Anything specific to look for? Thanx Roger G.
