RE: shooting the rapids gen 2

The machine has been working perfectly for 6 months, getting lots of play, until this week when it started to 'cut out' at random intervals.

The first thing I replaced was the molex and pins at CN5 (i think - not in front of me but its the two pin molex that goes from power board to driver board) as there seemed to be cold solder here. It didnt resolve the issue so I then proceeded to test voltages across the TP on the power board (after verifying transformer was good).

I've been using David gersics site to troubleshoot but am hoping someone may have experienced my troubles before or have an idea which components to start with.

I tested voltages at test points and got these. 'voltage' is the voltage it's supposed to be and 'tested' is what I got when I tested.

I got incorrect readings:
Test Point Voltage Tested
TP1: 170v 168v
TP2: 12v 5.8v
TP3: 5.6v 11.7v
TP4: 5v 5.6v
TP5: 39v -4.9v
TP6: -5v 37.4v

It's as if TP2 and TP3 are reversed, and TP5 and TP6 the same....? Maybe it's coincidence.

Could anyone offer some advice on where to start testing components on the board?

Thanks

Thanks Marco! I think then perhaps I've done the stupidest thing and compared voltages off the wrong gen sheet! Doh...

I have a feeling now the voltages will read good off the gen 1 sheet.

This leaves me with a random power cutout issue where gi stays on and everything else drops.

I'll replace fuse holders and clips and see where we go from there.

Many thanks for pointing out the bleeding obvious to me!
