Hello to the whole group,
I recovered a s36 5364 and a 5160.
The 51 only had two shorted capacitors and I solved it easily.
On the 53 I replaced 17 failed capacitors and now the main power supply works properly.
The problem is on the VRM, no voltage comes out, so I don't have 1.7V. I have 300v dc at the input.
If I turn on the machine the disks spin, the floppy LED stays always on and the controller board heats up so something voltage comes on.
I tried to connect s36 to 5160 but I have no knowledge of the machine.
I booted dos 3.3 from hd on the 5160 and expected it to somehow connect to s36 or give an error message.
Is there a procedure for connecting the two machines?
Has anyone had a problem with the VRM and solved it?
Thank you
