I've had this for almost ten years, and it's never worked. Finally, one day I opened it up and inspected it. It has a blown component, which I thought, for the longest time, was a diode. It also has two loose wires. It wasn't until today I confirmed it was a capacitor from looking at 600xl_1.png contained within 600xl.zip in griz's post here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/116898-600xl-schematics/?p=1410940
It is C30, connected between pins 8 and 1 on the U10 "Sally" chip. But I don't know what they mean when they say its value is .1. .1 what? .1 uF? .1pF? It looks way too small to be .1F. Is there a standard assumption they're implying in this schematic by omitting the prefix and unit abbreviation?
I have some .1uF capacitors, and I'd like to try fixing it. To view the schematic I was referring to, please see the link above. Here's the picture of my motherboard: http://i.imgur.com/8pShWf3.jpg
As for the wires, it looks like a past owner of this has soldered them in. I can't imagine what was attempted, but there is no label near the solder point for the green one, and I can't read the label near the solder point on the yellow one. It looks like the green one might be soldered to either ground or positive voltage. If I knew what the component labels were that correspond to those points, I could reference the schematic.
If anyone here owns one of these, would you mind looking at your motherboard and posting a close-up picture of these locations that are circled?
