Hello All

Upon turning on a Omni VI 563 Opt. 3 , I let some smoke out of the box. U1 on the Xtal Osc-LO board had failed and took out the trace on the board at pin 12. I removed the IC and replaced with a socket and new IC. Rig is still completely dead with the exeption of the NOTCH and ATTN led's (when buttons pushed).

I also found the 7805 for the logic board 5.0V had failed. That has been replaced and I now have 5V to the locic boards. All my 13.8 V (red wires) seem to be OK with the proper voltage. The + REG voltage (orange wires) is only 1.6 Volts at all connectors.... should be 8.5V. I have 13.6,13.7, and 13.9 at Q19 on low level driver board, Does that seem right ?

Symptoms are No lights...No display...nothing but the above mentioned. I tried reset using both CLEAR and ENTER buttons with turning power on ....nothing.

Is there any published data on typical voltages at the pins of the various IC's? I checked the reflector arcives and couldn't find anything.

I haven't call Ten-Tec yet and was hoping I could learn a bit by trouble shooting this myself...but I may be in over my head.
Any ideas????
