just had an explosion from the power supply......holy %^^%$£ - 8 amp fuse ...black and dead. - a few caps black and dead - at least I didn't have the tam plugged into it -

Good finding - no, I'd match the fuse with same.  Note there is a green LED on the underside of the sub that'll tell you if powered

found a 250volt 8amp fuse in my external scsi.........that would be ok yeh?

finally got into the powersupply - was covered with some foamy tape crap - had to cut through it - but anyway............found the fuse....6.3 amp   250 volt - and its dead!!!!…

Yeah check the fuse and there isn't much on the Bose board to go wrong with from my understanding. 

The difference between 74min/650MB media and 80min/700MB media is the track spacing. The latter is slightly tighter, but still within CD player standards. I have drives from the la…

took out the powersupply and the bose audio board - not really much to it - looks like a standard powersupply with a output to plug in your monitor - ha ha ......caught ya appl…

hi unity. Yep I made sure its on 230 volts - the guy I bought it from told me about that as well. - ive opened up the subwoffer.......dam difficult......its held together with sc…

By the way, the power supply is not auto-switching. Maybe I missed where you said you checked it, but if not check it. edit: There should be 5v standby power from the supply I wou…

I never got around to re-capping mine yet. You might be the first to re-cap one if you do. I would check the power supply first, its fuse, etc...

just metered out the subwoofer cable and nothing - - should there be some signal coming from the powersupply to the machine ? - ive tried the reset and nothing - think ill ju…

Doesn't need a PRAM battery to work/start. You can just press the power button on the back of the unit OR on the keyboard.  There is a CUDA reset button on the board you should pr…

found a similar battery from a lciii or something - same connector - tired it....still nothing - caps don't look good...........many have an upwards pointing dimple in the top.…

just tried to power it up ........no joy - zip!! - tried it with / without rom and cache card....nothing - im flying blind here people.............how do I turn it on!!!!!!!!…

Nearly all of my TAM's which is a gaggle at this point, came with the chip but I don't have them in. They work without any issues. Given the corrosion, I wouldn't install it as it …

I can't find an option to turn on the flag in the menubar. Any help?

Yeah, I mean... I would say keep it in since it came with it

Ya, the 5500 & 6500 are the same board as the TAM, just with modifications. My guess for the TAM having the ROM slot installed is given the unique nature of the machine. It…

first thing I checked haplain..............don't want any explosions - still some 'green' on the main board - my eyes are going bad...quickly...I only see the green in the pictur…

Check to make sure the Bose unit has the appropriate power voltage selected. Sounds like it probably does but always good to check. Keep us posted and my fingers are crossed for yo…

how we doing people - finally got home to have a go at starting this thing up - as for the rom's etc etc ....heres a few snaps of the board. - Ive never had a tam before so I m…

Well... English is not English everywhere. I'm sure if the states did not revolt in 1776, The Queen would have demanded the USA to separate from the UK if it remained since we bas…
