By the way.. Kekoa, I've looked at your page.. And I've discovered a error
on it.
there is a silver componet on the jpg.. you claim it's a voltage regulator..
its not.. it's a 220 Microfarad 10V Polarized cap.
My personal Tower died, So I gotta order a new one from dacta..
So what I'm gonna do is remove all the componets. and see if I can come up
wif a Schem..
then pershaps someone can go and figure out how to go and make the tower
stay alive longer..
