Reel deep thoughts...
That’s why I said look in the manual…not a datasheet.
Will this work https://www.farnell.com/datasheets/3744634.pdf(pages 23 and 24)?
I know barely anything about electrical and electronics beyond the absolute basics. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned that before.
Right. That’s why I suggested take it to a tech.So there's nothing in the £50 to £100~price range that can do the job and only multimeters starting at £400 are capable? What use have I for a £400+ multimeter? I'm not going to start repairing other peopleś electrical equipment. It would be an investment I can't afford or justify.
It doesn't help that I don't understand what you're saying most of the time.
Getting the bias level set is not your problem. Finding out why it doesn’t record or erase is your problem.Im going to see about getting all the rec/play cards rebiased, whether they need it or not. It can't be that much more than buying a £400 multimeter and then getting them rebiased
I can't read circuit diagrams, so I've no idea where the bias oscillator is or how it's connected to everything else. I also don't know why it might not be switching into record mode.If it doesn't erase or record, either you have lost the record/erase bias or the machine is not switching into record mod and turning on the bias oscillator.
@Mark7Getting the bias level set is not your problem. Finding out why it doesn’t record or erase is your problem.
Right. We know that. Nobody said you have to know all that stuff. We can maybe help fill those gaps. But you have to start somewhere. And if it was me (repeating myself), I’d start by checking if the bias amps are outputting any signal. We’re having a circular conversation.I can't read circuit diagrams, so I've no idea where the bias oscillator is or how it's connected to everything else.
