    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Charging system puzzle

Another possiblility is to replace the bad zener diode. That is the diode that is going bad, not one of the bridge diodes.

The R/R is solid cast epoxy filled. I dont know how I would get down to the zener diode without destroying everything. I would fix it If anyone can tell me how to get to it.

I've seen people dig out the epoxy, replace the offending element, then refill with two-part epoxy. These people enjoy doing stuff like that.

Personally, I would buy a new one. :D

I would be my luck to spend 100 hours picking epoxy with a straight pin, get the offending diode replaced, repour the epoxy and 30 minutes later have another of the old diodes take a dump. LOL
