TC Electronics Finalizer LCD or PS is bad?
Hey guys, my 16 year old TC Finalizer has a dying lcd screen (Or so I thought?). I could use it by setting the view angle,but it got unusable. I need help trying to figure out if it,s the lcd or the power supply. I thought it was the lcd until I bought another tc product the 'dbmax" which uses the same ps. The dbmax had a bad ps so i took the one from the bad finalizer and put it in the db max.Then the db max started having the same lcd problems that my finalizer had. Bought a new ps for the dbmax and it works fine. Does a bad power supply make the screen go dim?

Or maybe you have some bad capacitor on some other board that is pulling down the power supply. Get out the meter, measure the voltages coming out of the supply loaded and unloaded and see if they match the numbers in the schematic. If the supply rail that powers the LED is sagging, you'll see that sort of problem. The Finalizer is at about the age when it might just be a good idea to shotgun out all the electrolytics everywhere just to be safe. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
