[2017-05-21 20:05:26 CEST] good, the sun makes a big difference [2017-05-21 20:05:34 CEST] right. [2017-05-21 20:05:46 CEST] we had 31 degree celsius [2017-05-21 20:05:57 CEST] I tried swapping the ZTX313 for a BC237B which was supposed ot be the same but no difference [2017-05-21 20:06:08 CEST] We had 19 [2017-05-21 20:07:04 CEST] Are you using hexchat or zx81 tonight [2017-05-21 20:07:06 CEST] bc237b has the same wiring. [2017-05-21 20:07:25 CEST] i use the good old zx81. [2017-05-21 20:07:28 CEST] Yes, but it doesnt seem to work [2017-05-21 20:07:35 CEST] no, zx81nu [2017-05-21 20:07:45 CEST] I have ordered some ZTX313s [2017-05-21 20:07:59 CEST] can you read schemes? [2017-05-21 20:08:10 CEST] Yes, but not well [2017-05-21 20:08:34 CEST] lets hhave a look to the scheme. [2017-05-21 20:08:58 CEST] OK I will get it opened [2017-05-21 20:10:16 CEST] you dont have a clk at pin6 cpu. [2017-05-21 20:10:21 CEST] Opened and I have a Isse 3 in front of me [2017-05-21 20:10:22 CEST] rightc [2017-05-21 20:10:36 CEST] right? [2017-05-21 20:10:53 CEST] Can I ask, why 3 legs on oscillator [2017-05-21 20:11:26 CEST] i think that only two of them are connected. [2017-05-21 20:11:37 CEST] ok [2017-05-21 20:11:48 CEST] i think the x1 is a filter. [2017-05-21 20:12:05 CEST] Also on the board C6 looks like a resistor [2017-05-21 20:12:06 CEST] only one half is used for osc. [2017-05-21 20:12:27 CEST] c6 is green, isnt it? [2017-05-21 20:12:32 CEST] yes [2017-05-21 20:12:43 CEST] 5 coloured bands [2017-05-21 20:12:45 CEST] green ones are capacities. [2017-05-21 20:12:57 CEST] oh, never new that [2017-05-21 20:13:24 CEST] look to the www for capacities now. [2017-05-21 20:13:32 CEST] color code [2017-05-21 20:14:45 CEST] 1st color is what? [2017-05-21 20:15:06 CEST] suppose brown [2017-05-21 20:15:10 CEST] white or brown depending on whatway its read [2017-05-21 20:15:20 CEST] ok brown [2017-05-21 20:15:22 CEST] take brown [2017-05-21 20:15:32 CEST] next two are black? [2017-05-21 20:15:43 CEST] then purle then brown [2017-05-21 20:16:10 CEST] Maybe next one is black (instead of prple) [2017-05-21 20:16:22 CEST] then brown gold white [2017-05-21 20:16:45 CEST] 1st + 2nd gives 1 and zero. [2017-05-21 20:16:54 CEST] so brown black brown gold white [2017-05-21 20:17:37 CEST] 3rd is brown, has to be interpreted as multiplicator. [2017-05-21 20:17:57 CEST] tablee says: brown = 10 [2017-05-21 20:18:16 CEST] should be 100 pF? [2017-05-21 20:18:25 CEST] this results in 10x10=100 for the first 3 rrings. [2017-05-21 20:18:52 CEST] the final ttwo are tolerance [2017-05-21 20:18:59 CEST] not important. [2017-05-21 20:19:16 CEST] so we have 100pf as it should. [2017-05-21 20:19:34 CEST] OK, it connects to P35 on ULA which is... [2017-05-21 20:19:50 CEST] did you check tr2 after desoldering? [2017-05-21 20:19:59 CEST] really faulty? [2017-05-21 20:20:17 CEST] No, I dont know how to. I can get it and meter in 30 seconds [2017-05-21 20:20:39 CEST] yes. we sholud do it. [2017-05-21 20:21:21 CEST] switch the meter to diode tester mode. [2017-05-21 20:21:21 CEST] sorry, nit there. Must have been thrown out [2017-05-21 20:21:31 CEST] o.k. [2017-05-21 20:22:12 CEST] At the oscillator, left pin is a perfect sine wave. Right pin is meandering wave. But very low amplitude [2017-05-21 20:22:36 CEST] you should measure from the basis pin ( in thee middle) to thee both lcheck at pin 14 ula. [2017-05-21 20:22:47 CEST] sorryy. [2017-05-21 20:22:57 CEST] At P14 on the ULA is the same meandering wave but much larger amplitude [2017-05-21 20:23:15 CEST] o.k. [2017-05-21 20:23:28 CEST] next at c7 [2017-05-21 20:23:36 CEST] r6. [2017-05-21 20:23:56 CEST] this goes to the basis of tr2. [2017-05-21 20:24:33 CEST] next pin6 cpu. [2017-05-21 20:24:53 CEST] I can see C7 on diagram but not on the board. Could it be marked C4 in error? [2017-05-21 20:25:25 CEST] i ddoont know. dont have a iss3 board here. [2017-05-21 20:25:37 CEST] check at pin6 cpu. [2017-05-21 20:26:55 CEST] collector is connected to P6 [2017-05-21 20:27:04 CEST] yes. [2017-05-21 20:27:13 CEST] what signal there? [2017-05-21 20:28:29 CEST] I dont have the oscilloscope here. But the signal was about 5 volts [2017-05-21 20:28:39 CEST] dc? [2017-05-21 20:28:49 CEST] no meandering wave like the working Iss 3 [2017-05-21 20:29:12 CEST] did yyou already replace the tr2 [2017-05-21 20:29:14 CEST] ? [2017-05-21 20:29:25 CEST] Yes, no difference [2017-05-21 20:29:34 CEST] right wiring? [2017-05-21 20:29:40 CEST] ebcc [2017-05-21 20:29:45 CEST] ebc? [2017-05-21 20:29:47 CEST] I thought so. [2017-05-21 20:30:06 CEST] what was the type of this trans? [2017-05-21 20:30:59 CEST] tr2? [2017-05-21 20:31:36 CEST] Ah, looking at the datasheet. It may be cbe [2017-05-21 20:31:48 CEST] NPN [2017-05-21 20:31:55 CEST] what was the namec [2017-05-21 20:32:00 CEST] name? [2017-05-21 20:32:09 CEST] bt...? [2017-05-21 20:32:21 CEST] I dont know, Should I go and get the packet [2017-05-21 20:33:27 CEST] usually it it0s printed onto the casing of the transistor. [2017-05-21 20:33:43 CEST] go for the packet. [2017-05-21 20:34:55 CEST] 2 secs [2017-05-21 20:35:12 CEST] it says ctbc 238b [2017-05-21 20:37:17 CEST] bc238 has ebc.. [2017-05-21 20:37:41 CEST] c is connected with pin6 cpu. [2017-05-21 20:37:42 CEST] I read the datasheet as cbe [2017-05-21 20:38:09 CEST] this is the same, just mirrored. [2017-05-21 20:38:31 CEST] e is connectted with ground. [2017-05-21 20:38:46 CEST] Reading the TR, there is a flat side [2017-05-21 20:38:59 CEST] flat side towards you [2017-05-21 20:39:11 CEST] so its CBE? [2017-05-21 20:39:24 CEST] yes, the e is on the right side. [2017-05-21 20:39:32 CEST] cbe. [2017-05-21 20:39:51 CEST] C is to ground? [2017-05-21 20:39:55 CEST] E to pin 6 [2017-05-21 20:40:03 CEST] no, e is gnd. [2017-05-21 20:40:11 CEST] c is pin6 cpu. [2017-05-21 20:40:15 CEST] and B to C7 [2017-05-21 20:40:26 CEST] yes. [2017-05-21 20:40:46 CEST] look for splattered solder. [2017-05-21 20:40:53 CEST] remove if so. [2017-05-21 20:40:55 CEST] That would explain it I put it in the same way as original [2017-05-21 20:43:21 CEST] it seems so. [2017-05-21 20:43:41 CEST] but i cannot find the datasheet of zxt313. [2017-05-21 20:43:49 CEST] Looking at the pcb, there is a small c where the emitter is.... Im an idiot and its obvious when you explained it. [2017-05-21 20:43:52 CEST] did yoou find it? [2017-05-21 20:44:05 CEST] ok. [2017-05-21 20:44:17 CEST] turn it 180 degree. [2017-05-21 20:44:30 CEST] So I reverse the TR. Should I use a new one? [2017-05-21 20:44:48 CEST] not necessarry. [2017-05-21 20:45:02 CEST] OK, I will do that this evening. [2017-05-21 20:45:21 CEST] but you can take a new one, tthey are very cheap. [2017-05-21 20:45:37 CEST] lets stop for today. [2017-05-21 20:45:51 CEST] i will care about brigiitte. [2017-05-21 20:45:58 CEST] OK, you have given a good clue. Thanks [2017-05-21 20:46:10 CEST] Talk to you later, bye [2017-05-21 20:46:11 CEST] finee.
