U3 Voltage Problem
Posted: Sun Mar 16, 2008 11:17 am
I built two C84s a while back and have had problems with one. They are revision 1.6. Comparing the two I find that U3 on the bad C84 has approximately -15v going to pin 1 that is not present on the other C84. Also, I am seeing approximately -8v on pin 8 of U3. I checked polarity on the caps and I checked that the diodes were oriented correctly. I also checked all of the other compenents that are polarity sensitive and have not found any issues.
Is there somewhere I should start looking? I have been reviewing the schematic and I have working backwards from the pins that I have had problems with without success yet.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Update: I checked the voltages again and this time they are positive instead of negative. Also, I am getting voltages at Q3, 4, 7, 8.
