dead...but buried?
Posted by lee walters on March 5th, 2005


I've just been given a Samsung Sens 600 to play with. It's dead as a
door nail. No power through the battery or connected through the mains.
What might be the problem...can it be the battery when there's still no
power using the mains connection? I realize it's a antique, but really
just wanted something to tinker with. Any point persevering with it?
TIA.

Check the main power fuse. If there is an external AC adapter, check
its output voltage. If there is an internal transformer, check its
output.

This happened to me recently, and it was the system board.

There is an on-board power supply/charging circuit. Try there first. You
should be able to see the power in, and trace through to the various
voltages out. If you have good goes-intos and bad goes-outofs then replace
the circuit board.
