Hello Everyone,
I haven't posted here in quite a while, but I have a question about a Strand 300 that I own that needs some repair.
The 300 has just been sitting in my storage closet for the past several years and I figure it could be a good project for me to repair it, and maybe use it as a backup console.
The issue with it is that one of the power regulators failed and exploded, taking with it another component (Motorola 835?) and a few capacitors. Unfortunately, I have since lost the broken parts, so I do not know off hand what they are. Does anyone know what there part numbers are, or have another 300 they could look at to find the parts, and if anything else downstream may have failed? It looks like only the regulator, other chip, and the caps failed, nothing else looks burnt or damaged. I do also need to replace the Varta battery. Anyone know where I might be able to get a replacement battery? I have attached several pictures of the motherboard showing where the damage is. I am fairly good at soldering, and I'm willing to try buying a few parts to get this fixed (I don't have much to loose with it).
Thanks,
Sam
