Quoted from pins4u:This is the ENTIRE issue - semiconductors blow to pieces in MILLISECONDS - before you can even remove the screwdriver from the short you have created.
For all intents and purposes - they are destroyed INSTANTLY!
"all I did" is EXACTLY what the problem was caused by.
Don't make adjustments with the power on.
Thinking about this more I have no doubt you have destroyed U20.
No, its not on the board.
In the original post op mentioned that he pulled connector j208 and the error went away. Therefore its on the pf somewhere.
Op:
Ground shorts can be a bear to trace down. Did you do the adjustment with the target in place, or did you remove the screws that mount the target, let the target hang and then adjust?
If you didnt do it in place look for a pinched wire.
