Hi,

Thought I'd try my cb indoors as I'm snowed in :roll: connected my Intek M790+ up to my DC power supply but didn't have the inline fuse connection in place as I left that in my van and connected it the wrong way #-o heard a pop and a little bit of smoke, is it repairable ? or just as cheap to get a new one ? had a look inside there's a little bit of burning on some solder joints.

Thanks.

Some rigs of old used to have a reverse polarity diode for this very reason and the little thing would give up no smoke, no big bang, and definitely no lights :lol: Mind you I did see one little rig that wasn't so equipped, the biggest capacitor of the lot had exploded, and what a horrible mess it was too :shock: not to put a frightener on you mind :lol:

Hi,

Was just going to post on here about the resistor :shock: I've had a look in side and found the problem, small black resistor with a silver band has burnt out but I can't read the writing on it, too small :mrgreen: looked in the wiring diagram and I think it's C531 0.01guessing that's ohms ? Is it a part I can get from

Thanks.
