Making the POD working again ! - 29-06-2007
Finally i found the reason wahy lights on the Pod where not working ! the yellow ones ! it was someone that putted his hands inside the C5 and... substituted randomly a resistor with a new one which got 100 time the original value. It was a matter of point, and measure with my multimeter and check which components was not working. First i was changing the regulator (lm342) because there where not 5 volts, and that voltage was feeding the POD lights. But then a closer inspection leed me to found the wrong resistor in place readly changed with the appropriate one ! look at the pictures !
This is THE wrong resistor in the right place...
the fitting is not original i should have found it before ! 
This is NOT definately a 2R2 resistor... PINK !?!? 
Ahhhh, this is a rock solid 2R2 5W resistor ! gaaa !! try to burn this one now !! 
There it is ! nicely fitted ! 
And let it be the lights !!!
