Hi,

Thought I'd try my cb indoors as I'm snowed in 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 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.

oh dear ...not looking good i think its time for a new radio

give andy at thunderpole a call, he should be able to perform a resurrection on the radio,

yup no problem just hope you anit done the processer fingers crossed still you have leatned never run a rig without a fuse in line

Tried connecting it back up the with the correct polarity and it just smoked again

oh dear ...see what andy says

pop.

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 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 not to put a frightener on you mind

Hi,

Was just going to post on here about the resistor 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 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.

Oh hang on, could be D531 IN4004 think it's got IN4 on the part. Must be a diode =D>



?

It works =D>

Need to get a diode though just soldered a piece of wire in for now

I like your style, you'll go far

new one needed next time it happens

Sorted now, fitted a new diode picked up a spare just in case
