So I decided to try recapping one of my two Model 100s.
The ones I replaced all looked okay, no sign of leakage; I replaced the
batter which did have some corrosion on it.
I used a Model 100 recap kit, but as the voltages didn't match on some
of the caps, I decided not to replace those.
Like a dummy, I forgot to fire it up and test it before recapping it; it
had been working when I put it in the closet... over a year ago.
I made sure all the polar caps were oriented correctly.
I put it back together, turned it on... nothing.
I flipped the memory switch on the back to "on"... turned the machine on
and still nothing. Tried the contrast knob, no good. Tried reseating and
wiggling the batteries (I don't have a power adapter)... nothing. But
when I turned it off with the memory switch to on... the batt low light
flashes briefly.
So I killed my backup M100 :(
I'm not very experienced with a multimeter, but can anyone offer an
suggestions for troubleshooting how I killed it? What may be likely
causes for its current dead condition? Where to start looking?
