..HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR COMPUTER.BY E.T.
BEAR..PART 1...THE POWER SUPPLY... THE
OTHER DAY AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A F
RIENDS HOME THE CAR STOPED DEAD! I WAS A
BLE TO PUSH IT OVER TO A DESERTED GAS ST
ATION, HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. T
HE REPAIR COST WAS $450.00+ BY THE TIME
THEY WERE DONE CORRECTING THE PROBLEM, W
HICH INCLUDEN THE COMPUTER! THIS SAME TH
ING CAN HAPPEN TO YOUR COMPUTER, JUST LI
KE A CAR IF YOU TAKE CAR OF IT IT WILL T
AKE CARE OF YOU, IT SOMTHING NOT TO AFRA
ID OF ( IN MY CASE IT WAS THE TIMMING BE
LT...BROKE)... LETS START AT THE LITTLE
BLACK BOX CALLED THE "POWER SUPPLY" THE
POWER SUPPLY PROVIDES ALL THE POWER THA
T YOUR COMPUTER NEEDS, 9 VOLTS A.C AND 5
VOLTS. DC. THE 9 VOLTS AC IS CONVERTED
BE THE COMPUTER AND CONVERTED AND USED T
O SUPPLY POWER TO THE SID AND VIC CHIPS
WHICH CONTROL THE SOUND AND VIDEO AMPLIF
IERS. THIS SAME 9 VOTS AC IS ALSO TRANSF
ORMED TO 5 VOLTS AC AND IS USED TO POWER
THE TWO CIA'S AND IS USED FOR THE TOD C
LOCKS. THE 5 VOLTS IS USED TO POWER THE
MICROPROCESSOR, MEMORY CHIPS AND THE POW
ER LIGHT. .. THUS IF YOU LOOSE THE 9 VO
LTS AC YOU WILL LOOSE THE SOUND AND VIDE
O ON YOUR MONITOR, EVEN THOUGH YOUR PWER
LIGHT (LED) WILL BE ON (REMEMBER THE 5
VOLTS POWER THE LED AND THE MICROPROCESS
OR AND MEMORY CHIPS). NOW IF YOU LOOSE T
HE 5 VOLTS THE COMPUTER WILL BE DEAD, NO
POWER INDICATOR, NOTHING!.. AS YOU CAN
SEE THE POWER SUPPLY IS THE WEAKEST POI
NT OF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM, THE MAIN REAS
ON THAT IT IS THE WEAKSET LINK IS DUE TO
THE HEAT THAT THE NEW POWER SUPPLYS GEN
ERATE. THE NEW SUPPLIES ARE SEALED AND P
OTTED (FILLED WITH EPOXY), THE OLDER UNI
TS WERE VENTED AND ARE REPAIRABLE IN THA
T THEY CAN BE TAKEN APART AND THE PARTS
REPLACED. TO HELP KEEP THE SUPPLY COOL P
LACE IT ON A HARD SURFACE, NOT ON A RUG
WHERE IT WILL SINK INTO THE PILE, KEEP I
T AS FREE OF DUST AS POSSIBLE, YOU CAN A
LSO WANT TO CONSIDER PLACING A SMALL FAN
TO HELP IN KEEPING THE POWER SUPPLY COO
L. KEEP THE POWER SUPPLY PLUGGED INTO A
SURGE PROTECTOR THAT HAS A CIRCUIT BREAK
ER. THEIR ARE SOME THAT FEEL THAT THE PO
WER SUPPLY SHOULD BE UNPLUGGED WHEN NOT
IN USE OTHERS FEEL THAT IT SHOULD BE LEF
T ON AS THE SHOCK OF TURNING THE UINIT O
N MAY WEAKEN THE SEMICONDUCTOR PARTS IN
THE SUPPLY. RUNNING A BBS I HAVE GONE TH
ROUGH ONE POWER SUPPLY THAT WAS ON ALL T
HE TIME AND ANOTHER ONE THAT WAS ON ALL
THE TIME AND NOT BEING USED AS MUCH AS T
HE BBS. I THEN FOUND AN OLDER VENTED POW
ER SUPPLY AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLES S
INCE. I WOULD RECOMEND THAT YOU PLACE A
SMALL FAN POINTING AT THE SUPPLY TO CIRC
ULATE THE AIR AROUND AND THUS KEEP THE P
OWER SUPPLY COOL... IF YOU GET THE SYMP
TOMS THAT INDICATE THE POWER SUPPLY IS A
T FALT, DO THE FOLLOWING:.. 1. UNPLUG T
HE POWER SUPPLY FROM THE WALL SOCKET OR
POWER STRIP THEN FROM THE COMPUTER. OPEN
THE COMPUTER AND CHECK THE FUSE. IF THE
FUSE IS BURNRD OPEN THEN REPLACE IT WIT
H THE SAME VALUE AS MARKED ON THE FUSE.
BUT REMEMBER THE POWER SUPPLY MAY STILL
BE AT FALT.. 2. BORROW OR TAKE YOUR COM
PUTER TO A FRIENDS AND PLUG HIS POWER SU
PPLY IN YOUR COMPUTER. NEVER PLUG THE SU
SPECTED POWER SUPPLY INTO ANOTHER COMPUT
ER! IF YOU HAPPEN TO OWN A VOLT/OHM METE
R (A DIGITAL ONE IS BEST) YOU THEN CAN M
EASURE THE VOLTAGES AT THE PIN CONNECTIO
N ON THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE...THE PINS A
RE AS FOLLOWS:.. .........
.. . . .....] 9 VOLT
S AC. ! ! .
7 ^ 6 . 1 3
. 4 5 .+ 5 VOLTS D
C ...! 2 . 5 VOLT GND ......!
. ..YOU SHOULD A
LSO BE AWARE THAT THE COMPUTER COULD BE
AT FAULT...NEXT MONTH I WILL TACKEL THE
COMPUTER.
