HI

I just installed the 3 trident combo in B2 just now.
There is sound for about one minute on powering up. Since then, there is no sound.
I notice that D1 above the R7 in the VDD trident is not lighted up.
The other 2 tridents have 2 LED lighted up.
The placid HD power supply is 5.1 V the Voltage across R8 in the placid HD is 0. 440 V ie ccs 440ma.
Please advise how to troubleshoot.


thanks

Which version of the Tridents did you use?
How much shunt current did you measure on the Placid HD?

The placid HD power supply is 5.1 V the Voltage across R8 in the placid HD is 0. 440 V ie ccs 440ma.

What is the figure to aim for when i measured V across R3 and R8 on the placid?

The first set of trident was installed in my own B2 and work well for a few months already.
This is the second set of trident that my friend asked me to install in his B2.
thanks

I made a series of measurements to help solve th eproblem

At the Placid HD-- V out is 5.1 V Voltage across R3 is 0.15 v Voltage across R8 is 0.46 v


At the Trident for the VDD --- V in is 5.1 V , V out is 0V

V across D1 is 0.3V
V across D2 is 2.0V
V across R7 is 0 V
V Across R4 is 0.12 V

hope this helps


regards

I still need to know how much current is being "shunted" at the Placid HD. I don't need to know the the CCS current.

To know the shunt current measure between TP_OUT + and TP_SHUNT + test points.

It could be a killed trident.

Did you say it was the 1.2V?

Yes, this is the Trident with 1.2 V output.
Any suggestion which part on the Trident to replace?

thanks

Hi Russ
I am thinking of replacing the QP1 AND QP2 and the Op amp on the trident.
Is it possible to buy the parts from you or Farnell ?
Can you indicate the part name esp for QP1 and 2?
thanks

I am planning to replace the LM 7731ma with this LM7732 MA.
The link is here

Are these parts interchangeable

Thanks

It could simply be the LED. It looks like the opamp should work though if you get the single version.

Any standard 1206 green LED will work.

Make sure you remove it from the buffalo while testing repairs.

For the record, these are not interchangeable. The 7731 is a single, the 7732 is a dual.

In any case it is hard to pin it on the opamp.

It may be more cost effective and simpler just to replace the Trident.
