Hello Tom,

   You are right, somehow the +12V is missing, I only get +3,4V instead, I only measured +5V and -5V which are ok. I will first try to replace the PSU (a working Lisa should arrive today and I will try swapping the PSU from that one) and than repair it later.
    Do you know what the difference might be between a Sun Remarketing 30 MB hard drive and the original LISA hard drive? Can I simply swap them?

    Sometimes, I think we might as well speak German on lisalist :)

Hello Alex,

perhaps this could also be a problem with the power supply.

If the output voltages are not correct, the psu automatically shuts off. I had the same problem a few years ago, when I received a psu from a collector in England to get it repaired again.

So have you ever measured the 5 output voltages: permanent +5V standby, +5V, +12V and -5V, -12V. ?

They're (with small tolerances) very important to get a Lisa fired up.

The second error could be a permanet triggered ON/OFF safety interlock. In this case Lisa would not fire up or would only get power for less than a half second and only make a sound like "blip", when you push the power button.

Hi everybody,

long time no post.
I have done some more tests and come to the conclusion the card edge connector for the IO board has to be changed. I waited 3 weeks for 3 connectors to arrive from Korea and today they finally arrived. I have changed the one from the IO Board and all the sockets and capacitors on the IO board but with little success.

No when I press the power button, LISA turns on but only as long I keep the button pressed, as I release it it will go off again.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

On the card edge connector I measure also 0V on the /RESET pin. this means the system is kept in reset state on the motherboard.

There is an electrolytic capacitor (C8) next to the 68000 CPU. Usually it gets leaky, then /Reset is stuck low.

In case you don't have a replacement available, just cut it away. Then you'll have to press the Reset button once to start the CPU (after power-up)
