It's Alive!!!

Previously I had mentioned I got a Gateway Profile 4 at a surplus auction, it was cheap because it didn't work (Screen). After reading a bunch of websites I yanked the inverters and found a burned out transformer. After looking around ebay ($70 for a replacement), I was leaning towards a unversal LCD inverter solution ($25 from ebay) (http://pkrobot.freehostia.com/LCDRepair4.htm). I started emailing pk for more information how he did and he happened to have his old inverter and he was kind enough to send it to me. I had already yanked the bad transformer in a foolish attempt to fix it (Epoxy and really small wires, bad combination). I pulled a transformer off pk's inverter and put on mine and I now have a mostly fully working machine! Interestingly enough I bought this mainly for the parts and to find out it was only a inverter problem fueled my desire to fix it. Now I've got to back and find parts somewhere else. I had to build a power supply for this I'll post about this next time.
