No Signals
Posted: Tue May 07, 2024 8:29 am
Hi everyone,
i have a problem with the cx16, it gives no signs of life.
When I first powered it up, powered with a 20pin ATX power supply only the yellow led was on and it turned off after about 3-4 seconds.
I switched the board back on and it stayed on but with no VGA video signal and no activity on the SD card.
After turning everything off and testing the monitor (but that was working) I tried turning the card back on but it gives no signal, the power supply doesn't turn on and LEDs all off.
Tried another ATX 24pin, same result, got a pico PSU but it won't turn on with that either.
I tested the PSUs on a PC board and they all work.
I'd like to fix the board without having to send it back, sending it back to Texas is not around the corner and there's also customs. Unfortunately, not having schematics and with the 4 layer pcb it's not easy to see where the signals go and if they are OK.
It would seem that the micro-controller is not starting the power supply, I saw a relay on the board, perhaps used for this purpose.
Are there any tests I can do? Check if a voltage is present on a pin chip or some connections etc.?
Thanks
