Re: Repairing/Replacing Jags

Dude,
The MOSFETs are in four groups of three (12 total) on the old Jags. The gate leads are fed separately through resistors but the drain and source are in parallel. There are two groups where the source leads are tied to power supply and two where the drain leads are tied to power common. Most often the FETs take out other components. Is the transistor isolator melted? Have you found any aluminum dust or shavings? Is any part of the board burned?
