Thanks Hugo, very informative - I'm learning a lot here.
There is usually a tag on the yoke where the two coils join up.
I expect so, but there's a cover glued to the back of the coils that the wires go into and I don't want to remove it. I'm betting the tag is under there.
Sorry I did not see you had swapped out the IC already.
Well spotted. It was a pull from the other board. There is a chance that it, too, is damaged but I thinnk it's highly unlikely to be the same damage as we are surmising the original chip may have suffered. Meaning by that, given swapping it out had no effect, it seems neither of them are bad.
I'll do the other checks this morning and report back.
