Re: Power Distribution Board.

Attn: Ebarker, I'm glad that I have interested you in my electrical issues. Hopefully I will find someone who can help me resolve this issue. I honestly have no idea how it blew. I had powered it up to run the C-rio for the programmers to mess with 'IP'. And, suddenly the C-rio had turned off. Scared to death that I may have blew the $3000 C-rio, so I quickly found the issue that we were getting no power from the 24VDC port. After I had made various attempts to resolve this issue, and had replaced a diode that is right before the output. Which allowed me to obtain a steady 12VDC, but is still not enough to power up the C-rio. I have came to a conclusion that there may be a number of parts that could have burned further up in the step-up inverter circuit. The second board basically burned out the same way, but is damaged beyond repair.
