PROBLEM
PROBLEM
Rolling and/or double image
picture on screen. Adjusting
the V-hold will lock the syncin,
but a double image picture still
remains.
SOLUTION
C514 (100ufd/16vdc) has de-
creased in value. The one I had
finally stabilized at around
7ufd! Replace C514 to restore
picture to normal.
New Microprocessor
From Intel
Itel recently introduced its long
awaited Pentium microproces-
sor, a new generation chip for
personal computers.
The Pentium will be capable of
112 million calculations per sec-
ond, five times faster than Intel's
486 microprocessor.
The higher speed will dramati-
cally improve graphics and
video displays.
Battery is being charged
through MAX690CP A. This
will cause the MAX690CPA to
reset when battery voltage is
greater than +5 volts.
