   The thing with these Jap computers is they come with AC Adapters that look like they will work on US electricity…however Jappy is 100V and doing so can fry your computer…I suspected this was the issue here.
   
   I have a step down transformer (in the pic) for Jap stuff due to my years of tinkering so went ahead and bought it figuring it would be an easy repair.
   
   It was indeed a case of some tit trying to use it on US voltage Replacing 3 regulators, 1 cap and 2 transistors brought it back to life.
   
   ANOTHER SUCCESS STORY.

   Easily fixed with some 99% isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush.
