(...) Are you running DLM from a dos window in Win9x? I've had this problem but it usually stops when I run it in DOS. Just a thought. -Jim Munro <jimmn@xnet.com> (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I am by no means an expert on the subject but this is how I did it. First I cut the heavy motor power trace as shown in the FAQ.

It is common when polarized caps are put in backwards! Some of those little beggars are hard to see, and easy to get backwards. Other things, such as solder bridges or bad solder joints, can be a problem. Some have even reported finding debris under (...) (24 years ago, 4-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
