[labnetwork] Control Board OIPT Plasmalab System 100

[Khanna, Rohit]

HI James,
                  Given the long lead time, why don't you try simply checking the voltage outputs from the linear regulator if that seems fine, try changing the socketed semiconductors chips without getting into the effort of testing each one (it saves time). Also replace any electrolytic capacitors if this unit is over 5-7 year old. Also look for any obvious sign of component damage or burn out/degradation.

Warm Regards

Hi James
      What is the cost they are quoting you for the board? If the price is significant, maybe think about buying a system at auction
and cannibalizing it. Today I received an email about a large auction occurring soon and you might get lucky this way.

Regards,

Charlie

Hello,



The AMU on our OIPT Plasmalab System has been playing up. OIPT reckon the solution is either to replace the AMU control card or the whole board but are quoting a lead time of 365 days (!).

Does anyone have a spare?

AMU card part number = PC00S26875

Board part number = MA00Z26876



Cheers,



James
