Thank you very much for trying to help – much appreciated !

i really don’t know what the current draw is or should be in that circumstance.

the way I tested or checked was to isolate a possible transformer issue from the rest of

the deck by unplugging P2 & P3 which are supplying the rest of the deck, in other

words the only connection from the power supply to the main deck.

so, it is really only the power-pack (transformer) connected to board 3 which should

deliver the 5V, 14.8 V and 15.5V supplies for the deck but it doesn’t.

there one last thing I will try and report back.
