My 512k popped when I tried turning it on--see my thread in Conquests, esp. my latest post in that thread:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9678
So I opened the case to see what went pop. Everything still looks pristine. I know I can rule out the logic board, seeing as when I looked it over, it looks just as I left it. It's mostly chips anyway, and I don't think those would go pop.
Obviously it's the analog board, but I still couldn't see which component blew. All capacitors are still flat on top, and shiny. Everything looks complete and gunk-free.
And then I spotted a weird large component labeled Astec, with the number 157-0025-A printed on the label.
It's the big orange component in this picture of JDW's:
What does this component do, and is it something that could have popped?
