Safe to say replacing the JST connectors was 100% required!

Filter is fixed, ended up getting a cheap version off eBay as CKD ones are £80! Game kept resetting etc, had bad pin connections so I ordered all of the JST connectors & pin headers. A tip for anyone else, it's easier to destroy the old pin headers than try & desolder them, I used hot air on the...

Update time :) OK, it all powered up with no bangs or smoke!! New tyre fitted but the water/oil filter is leaking air so fixing that now. The fuse blowing on the power board was due to it being set to the wrong voltage! I'd never changed this and assumed it was OK as the monitor is marked...

Thanks for your help, when the final cap arrives I'll finish the job :)

Thanks, are the heat sinks ground? I don't want to blow anything probing around!!

I see, so are my test points the pins I have found? I & J? If not, where do I measure from? Thanks again :)

Nothing like my board! I have two pins, marked I & J, no others??

I'll take another look, are they actually marked TP? All I can see is one pin marked J!

Thanks, I don't see the test points, mine is an SE if that makes a difference?

So I've recapped the entire chassis, I don't have a service manual. anyone know where to test the B+ voltage? There seems to be loads of variations on this board so any help would be great. The PCB says 5A00185C1. I can se the pot (full of silicone!)

I figured as I was ordering capacitors anyway I'd replace the only other remaining original caps! I'm replacing all caps on the amp boards (SJ25-0091-02 x 2 & 601-6228 x 1) & a board I think controls the airdrive or fan?? Part number is 400-5101. Anyone got any info on this board? F2 was blown...

Quick question, I'm going to replace all of the electrolytic caps, I understand the model of this chassis is MS8-26A, seems a solid chassis? Anything else to replace while I'm in there? Thanks :)

Thanks. The tyre fitters is the other side of town so in the mean time I've moved over to the monitor, I think a FULL recap would be best?

No pressure guides on the tyre which is weird, this is the approx. measurements......

Yes the tyre is marked "light truck", I'll cart it all to a tyre fitters & see what they say.....
