Hello, I'm trying to repair power supply of my minisport. I've recapped condenser, old smd components leaked. But don't work. 6v are for red or yellow wire? Kindest regards
It's been a while since I worked on it so I can't remember exactly which wire is which. However you should be getting 6V (from the battery) and 9V (if the power adapter is plugged in). Make sure you have a working battery. Test the leads. Even if your power adapter is good and supplying 9V the laptop will not run without the 6V from the battery.
@@digitalman4404 Thanks for the help. Clearly finding a battery in good condition on a laptop over 30 years old is difficult, in fact I was willing to use an external power supply that can act as a 6V power supply. First, however, I need to check other components of the internal power supply. The SMD capacitors caused serious damage with the loss of acid, including the detachment of an inductance (at least I think, it disintegrated when I opened the computer). Another question: does the motherboard have to be housed in the case, or could it work even if removed? I would think that the lack of connectivity of the mass derives from the lack of contact with the underlying metal panel or the other iron elements of the structure. Thank you very much.
