"If you refer to the picture of the microprocessor board, you will
notice that the locations marked D1, D2 and D3 are populated by zero
ohm resistors. That means that the 3 V microcontroller was powered
from 5V. I am actually amazed that they worked at all, let alone
worked for a while.

It is a shame that fluke.l saved on the cost of 3 diodes that way.

What I did (and I've mentioned this before) is to replace the three
zero ohm resistors with one red LED. The forward voltage drop is
about 1.7vdc so it makes a pretty nice zener, and you have a power
indicator to boot.

Brooke,

Following the links from your page (nice work, thank you) lead me to your 
Thunderbolt page where you ponder the death of your iCruze monitor.

If you refer to the picture of the microprocessor board, you will notice that 
the locations marked D1, D2 and D3 are populated by zero ohm resistors. That 
means that the 3 V microcontroller was powered from 5V. I am actually amazed 
that they worked at all, let alone worked for a while.

Hi:

I've received the components of the Z3810A system and have some 8x10 color 
glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each 
one explainin' what each one is for.  But need to find the connectors to make 
up the DC power cables.

Hi

Hmmm …. dc power cables …. chop end off un-used serial cable… attach proper 
wires to power supply. 

(Yes, if you get the wires backwards things get a bit exciting … I have 
empirical evidence to support this claim). 

Since the running current is well below 1A on each connector, you don’t really 
need super heavy cables.
