Sakda CD Controller

[audiosteve]

Does anyone have the schematic and layout for the Rev 2. board that Sakda sells?

I just received mine and it is not working.
Three E-mails to Sakda have resulted in no response. 😡

I need to try to figure out what is wrong and get this board going.
Thanks in advance for any help.

In reponse to Zanuda's reply on:

The LCD is dead. No voltage on the CD-ROM power connector. Supply to the board is good. I will dig deeper as soon as I can but I'd like to find a schematic first. I haven't checked Vcc on the processor or the processor clock yet.

Thanks

Did you apply voltage where is should go? May be there is other way to power the bord up?

Zanuda,

I appreciate your attempt to help. But I am not that helpless. I am just looking for a schematic right now and hopefully someone in the community has one. As I said before, I haven't tried to do much yet without one. But when I get one (or if I don't) I am sure I will be capable of getting back to it and checking out the basic things you have outlined.

Thanks

Sakda answered my E-mail, so he is online and alive...

Thanks Zanuda. I will try him yet again. He did finally respond a day ago and asked what I wanted (even though what I was looking for was in the E-mail he was responding to). So I asked him again and again have gotten no reply. I wonder if he has trouble getting internet access? His responses so far have been slow or non-existent except for the response to my initial order of the controller. I don't know if this is coincidence or by design, but whatever the reason, it has been very frustrating.
