Isn't that supposed to be on the opposite side of the clock? I.e. left hand rear upper corner as you're looking at the face of the clock.

The image you've posted seems to show it on the upper right?

That is odd. It certainly can spin the clock at a faster rate, but for whatever reason isn't during the clock test. Does it spin at the same speed when you move to the Fwd Slow test? How about the Reverse tests (both)?

I guess I don't see how that's the issue, since the clock clearly moves at the Fwd Fast speed (faster) at boot. Just not during the test.

That's why I asked to see the test run at the 3 other speeds (Fwd slow/Rev Fast/Rev slow). Are all the test speeds slower than expected?

Ah, so I did not realize that it was being driven differently outside of test mode. Thanks for that!

Please don’t operate this way. It’s not respectful of the supplier. This puts a burden on the supplier as they can no longer sell the board as new and eat time and “materials” from their budget. I realize that this is an actual business model for some but I don’t believe Marco is advocating this. I.e. not using their stock as a testing source.

You should be evaluating the problem and buy to replace if you feel it is the problem.

IMHO anyway.

While you've got the same symptoms as the OP, you might not have the same actual problem.

Did you go through the same diagnostics that were listed in this thread? Testing all the voltages and connections, etc?
