happy new year all. i replaced the BC337 which was conducting 1 direction between Collector and Emmiter. EDIT: (jumper duh) low power mode: On the LCD connector i'm measuring +4.96V between GND and B- and +4.96V between GND and B+ high power mode: +4.96V between GND and B- +12.02V between GND and B+ Is this correct?

leds are in and working. on the backlight jumper pins i'm getting 4.99V and 12.06V i found the links to these screens in another thread and can purchase a new one off ebay, but am curious why this one is fried.

one thing to add is that my kit was missing 2 leds, so i finished it without soldering any of them(im going for orange anyway) i dont know if this could/should influence how much power gets to the LCD?

ok, thanks for the swift reply.

In multi mode SID1 will play 3 notes then SID2 will play 3 notes. Is it possible to set this to alternating and/or random?

Hi, I just finished my sammichSID aswell. Its with the negative green LCD. Initially i had it set to low current on JBL and no shunt on JR4. The display was dim. After voltage checking and installing my 6581's (shunts on both JBP and horizontal on JP) i decided to move to the high power setting after re-reading the emails from WIlba stating the negative green was also high power. i'm using a regulated 2A, 12V non switched adapter which reads 12.15V. I found a post on the forum replied by niLS stating that within 3% of 12V should be ok. The display lit up nice and bright, with the pot set to under halfway, but then dimmed after 10 seconds. now all backlighting is gone. Fried? regards, Carlos
