Re: Turboing 85



Actually, just taking out the C9 works for me.  I did have the same problem
(that the display screws up) only because I (somehow) burnt off a
connection between one of the chips and the capacitor beside C9.  It took
me a few minutes to figure that out, and if you'd press down the part of
plastic between F3 and MORE hard enough then try to turn it on or whatnot,
then it will work normally unless you've burnt the connection right off!

: C9 and R11 form an RC timing network.  Since R11 cuts down the current to
: C9, it take longer to charge.  There is a definite relation between T, R
: and C.  Anyway C9 is a capacitor, and stores electricity on the silver
: ends and in the middle, (that white stuff) is an insulator.  By shorting
: C9, you are effectively expecting a straight wire to store electricity...
: It's not going to happen.  Shorting R11, on the other hand will cause C9
: to charge  as fast as possible.  I recommend soldering a 50 ohm resistor
: (brown, black, brown) across it.  It's easier to do thatn fighting with
: C9, it's a less expensive part, and if you break something, there's a
: better chance of putting it back the way it was before.  A 50 ohm
resistor
: will effect a speed increase of  220% (2.2 times)
