    Five or six years ago, I dropped a PINLED WPC driver board into my TAFG. Happy day; works great. However, now I'm missing a fuse (F111) and, more importantly, I don't actually have a fuse list for this board!

    No amount of Google-fu would cough up the fuse list (and my Google-fu is relatively strong), which leads me to believe that PINLED has fallen out of favor for driver board replacements. Reading between the lines, this may be catalyzed by the PINLED boards being incapable of driving LED illumination?

    Beyond the fuse question, what is the current state of the art for WPC driver board replacements?

    Thanks,
    b.bum

    Quoted from Coyote:

    I have a list of schematics I can send you later today.
    I have been using their power board in my TZ for about 6-7 years as well, no issues. The board shoukd have a fuse listing ON IT, under the F115 12v fuar (middle left side).

    Doh! I'm getting blind in my excitement to get this machine working again.

    Thank you.

    Quoted from Coyote:

    There you go. It's very small and easy to miss (especially if you don't have a flashlight or a bright light there..)
    These fuses are the 5x30mm type, and I usually order a whole slew of them at digiky at a time. (Especially when I was having my F115 bust out because of a high-voltage wire ramp. D'oh.) You can't really find this size in local stores.

    20mm. Yeah-- I ended up scanning eBay and have 100 x2.5A and 100x 5A on the way for cheap.

    Quoted from Coyote:

    As an asied, I dunno what happened to the PinLED guys. Their main site is down, only their store remains, and emails in the past have gone unanswered. It's a shame, as I like their quality (over RD and other board replacements) a LOT better - their display driver board has given me another 10 years on my original OEM plasma display, thanks to being able to drop the voltage going to the display.

    That is weird. The boards are *beautifully* well designed!
