Re: RIP - My ePods is dead :-(

[Vince <vince@xxxxxxx>]

It was on mains with the back light on for 10 hours.

I think having the back light on for so long has fried a transformers
output windings (the one on the daughter board), the input windings have a
resistance but the output windings are open circuit, I need to check this
on the good daughter board I have.

PS. I don't think these things like been on for a long time, anyone want to
test my theory?
