Dealing with a tempermental trackspot

Ok, apparently someone made this light mad. First thing was Vreg2 was missing. I replaced it and it was really mad lights blinking, motors shaking, followed by a little smoke from somewhere around C42. I quickly unplugged it. Apparently that missing Vreg2 was replaced into the home of Vreg1. So I got that fixed. Its happier now, but what is happening is the fan is not turning on, and the fan led is barely glowing, followed by the famous error tone. I do not get the error when all the dip switches are off, but when i put it in self test I do. Is this due to something going on with the fan circuit. I am guessing all of the chips may have seen 12 V down the 5V line due to the vreg being in the wrong place. Any ideas. The wheels do home correctly.

BTW the board is the red one V1.5 with the V2.1 Eprom. Also does someone have a link to the older bin files so i can install version 2.5.

After further investigation, the Fan light comes on like normal if i unplug the fan but if i plug the fan back in it dims down to almost being out. The fan being connected or disconnected does not make a difference in the error tone.

  • It gives the error tone either way, the fan does not run, when i plug it in the fan led goes very dim. I tested the fan using a bench power supply and the current draw matched the fans rating so I know the fan is good. There is something strange going on with the power supply side. I replaced both the 24V and 5V regulators. Its acting like its getting the power but not enough current. The error tone does not sound very loud like it normally does. I have also tried swapping out the eprom just to see if there happen to be something weird going on with it.
