Default Re: Hacker Sovereign 11

Stock faults were the bread and butter jobs, none stock ones were the interesting ones, or faults not seen before and then became stock ones were also the interesting ones.

Yes it was 6 years of half day release and two nights at a Tech plus learning on the job.

Knowing how the circuit works makes the job easier, less frustrating and more satisfying. Degree level knowledge is generally not required although those who have one I tip my hat to, something I could never have achieved.

I try to point posters to the information that Paul Stenning has written on another part of the web site, an excellent starter course.

If I have to fix anything I have not seen before, first job is always to find out the basics of how it works, at least there is a much better chance of a fix then.

It will be interesting to find out just which part or parts are faulty in the Hacker.
