This has been the project from hell
well, it looks like I might just write off the project:
My first setback was (about one week ago): I was taking voltages of transistors, and I couldn't get to 2 of them as they were covered by a metal chassis. So I pulled out my drill (to take a little shortcut. In order to get the chassis off, 80,000 other things needed to be taken apart). So I drilled real slow, and got nowhere. So I then throttled it and not only went through the chassis, but the circuit board underneath. Now I had no choice but to remove 80,000 things to get the PC board out. Luckily the drill didn't put a hole but rather cracked off a small piece of the PC board which I managed to epoxy back on and solder the traces together. So once I had the PC board out with the transformer, I had to replace a few parts destroyed by the drill (To put me back at square one). And I noticed a lead to the overseas voltage switch was hanging on by a thread. I must have damaged the innards of it while soldering it back on, as 110 volts didn't give power to the tranny (but 220v did), but it wasnt covered in my schematic :thumbsdn: so i looked at the schematic and according to it, the red and black leads corresponded to the line input, however for me there were 2 sets of red and black leads, so I hooked up the leads I hoped were on the primary, but when I plugged it in, it sounded like a gunshot, then I could just hear the coil inside disintegrate. So Now I just want to like die. Another transformer is $91. So I don't know whether to just buy a whole other unit or just the transformer. :cry: So that's my story of the project from hell.
Just need some help with the protection circuit, :scratch2: I'll probably put up a scan of the schematic tomorrow. Sorry I havent been able to fill you in, I kinda stepped away from it for a while. :yes:
