Adding backup jumpers to a WPC-95 driver board
Steps
- The jumpers protect the heavy filter capacitor joints, which crack from vibration; the diodes themselves do not need them.
- At minimum do the +5 V set: non-banded side of D7/D8 to C9 "-", banded side of D9/D10 to C9 "+".
- 12 V unregulated: non-banded side of D5/D3 to C8 "-", banded side of D4/D6 to C8 "+".
- 18 V lamp and 12 V regulated: non-banded side of D11/D12 to C11/C12 "-", banded side of D13/D14 to C11/C12 "+".
- 50 V coils: non-banded side of D19/D22 to C22 "-", banded side of D20/D21 to C22 "+".
- 20 V flashers: non-banded side of D16/D18 to C10 "-", banded side of D15/D17 to C10 "+".
