boostin280zx Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I had my ms hooked up and it was a getting tach signal and everything but Q5 on the heat sinc got really hot. I unpluged it for awhile and reconnected it and it stopped getting hot but all the gauges on the laptop stayed the same as they were when it got hot. I took my stimulator out and hooked that up and it wouldnt change the rpms or anything on the laptop. What is Q5 for and did it burn up since its not getting hot anymore? also the fuel pump lite on the stimulator and the lap top flash on and off.

mobythevan Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Q5 drives the FIDLE line I believe. It was probably installed wrong, which is kind of easy to do on the transistors. I would replace it and check all of the other transistors to verify all are installed in the correct orientation and then try the stimulator again. If that is the only component that went out the laptop should still be able to communicate through the serial port so you know the processor is OK.
