Re: HELP! Need TAJIMA X-Y card
Call Hirsch. (800) 394-4426. But those cards are not cheap. Expect a few thosand dollars for a replacement XY card. Did you burn something up that you can see or smell? The reason I ask is because I just had a Tajima S-card burn up on me and they wanted $1000 for a new card and $650 to fix it. I have no electrical experience whatsoever but I could see what part burnt up on the board. I removed it and did about an hours worth of re-search and found out what it was. It turned out to be a Thyristor (which I had never heard of). I called around and eventually found an electronics company that had something very similar. He sent me 6 of them for $15 and I bought a $20 soldering iron. I soldered the new part on the board in about 10 minutes and the machine is running beautifully now...Total cost: $35 and about 2 hours in time.
