Re: Repairing a Victor?
We'll hook it up and see if it still works on Thursday. If not, I'll see if I can troubleshoot it using Al's suggestions. The 40 amp breaker was clicking continuously for at least a couple of minutes, so there was a lot of current going through something inside. I suspect the 5v regulator is toast. The electrolytic cap had not popped as far as I could tell without taking the fan off, but the top looked good and there was none of the usual smell.
I did recommend not turning the robot on until someone had double checked the wiring...
And shouldn't you be studying for finals?
