Hi all,

My RAMLink fried when I plugged it in. On further examination, it
turns out that R49 near the back of the board (inbetween the power
input and battery input, closest to the battery in), has fried. The
top colour (color) is green and the bottom gold, but I can't see what
the middle two are. Can anyone please tell me?!? It's a RAMLink MK II
by the way.

I suspect that the RAMLink will work but without the charge, but I
obviously don't know for certain.

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Shaun.

I'm out of town so I can't reference mine atm. I would be very
concerned however, did you plug in an improper power supply? Did you
try running the RamLink without the main supply and a power adapter on
the battery port? If that fuse is burned there is probably other
damage.

Does your RamLink have the 1581/1541-II style power connector for main
power?

Hi,
The colors are green/braun/gold/gold.
That is a 5,1 ohm resistor.
And it looks like a 1/4 Watt carbon type.
