There is some info in here about the Bitscope saga but my BS10 mini won't connect and I'd like to repair the thing. Is there a schematic available anywhere for the Mini. I thought I saw schematics on the original Bitscope site and I think I may have downloaded those but apparently my filing system is so secure that I can't find any downloads I may have made. I may have found the issue but I can't identify the IC I think is causing the problem without a schematic.
Thanks,
Tony
I'm not sure where to post a reply to all but here it is. Thanks for posting all the links and info. Lot's of good info here and I'll wade through as much as I can to find some answers. Found some schematics here and from a link that popped up to Silvertone Electronics also in Australia. They had/have some Bitscope products still on their site and also had a good amount of documentation. I must have one of the latest versions of the BS10 Mini as none of the pics match the version I have. As I browse through some of the pics I can see the evolution of the product. Two pics are attached with three components outlined in the lower left corner of pic #1. The SOT23-5 component has an A0P or AOP marking and only the A(zero)P shows up in my old SMD Identification catalog as a 'voltage monitor/detection' chip. This thing is roasting hot over 200 degrees F with an IR cam, plugged in with no activity and no connection. The two associated resistors are both less that half of the marked values. I can replace the resistors but I need to positively identify the 5 pin to get a replacement. I'm not sure how much time I'll spend trying to get the thing to work again, but once I attack the board for component replacement that time might get shortened in a hurry.
Thanks again.
