LED100 is out and switches stop working.
WPC-95 LED100 off (+12 V regulated)
Cause: Fuse F101 or F106. A blown F101 is often a failed CPU U20; also suspect regulator Q2 (LM7812). Path: J129 pins 4-7, F106, D11-D14, C11/C12, D1/D2, Q2, F101, then J101 pins 1-2.
Checks
- Check F101 and F106.
- Measure TP100 to TP107 for 12 V.
Fix
- Replace the fuse; then U20 or Q2 if it fails again.
