So I had some time today to remove the PCB and replace the Q6 IRL540N FET. I also swapped in a new diode just to be safe as they are $0.02 BOOM! I have a working magnet!!! Thanks so much for the tech support everyone. I have the removed Q6 FET (it was a IRL540N as well) And I am wondering...

The brown-blue is right beside the violet yellow, on the same side of the connector. The yellow wires on the right of the pic go to the magnet.

Just to clear this up for future searches by anyone having this problem... The "purple" wire in the PIC is in fact violet with yellow stripe.

Thanks all. I will replace Q6 with a IRL540N as soon as I find some time. question... could the member with 2 diodes on his magnet wires have 2 diodes as a form of X2 redundancy ?? so if 1 diode blew, the 2nd would take its place?? or do diodes blow "open" so X2 redundancy would not work...

To be clear... I am NOT blowing the fuze upon power up. The magnet is locking on on power up and if I do not turn it off within 5 sec or so, I will blow the fuze. I will dig in the manual for the diode orientation as suggested. MosFET, FET ?? are these alternate terms for transistors...

FET = Transistor (IRL540N) correct? I NEVER had magnet lock on upon start up until I replaced the Diode. I was at the hokey game tonight taking pictures (Sens lost ) and I noticed I had taken a picture of the old diode before I replaced it so I would in fact not put the new one on backwards...

I have a question about the Magnet in my LOTR. My magnet was blowing fuzes. I swapped in a new PCB with all good transistors and all was well until the magnet fired...then it blew the fuse again. Swapped in a new fuse and it blew right away upon boot up. I am using a 5A fuse as per the Stern...

Thanks dude.... I will search around with a DMM in the DE games.

Stern (LOTR Witestar) Data East (LAH and TFTC) Thank you

Nope. got any leads?

As title states, I am looking to upgrade my 2005 GT PCB to a GT complete. A good guy form London told me that it can be done now and someone on CGCC knew how, however, the resident jackass over there has branded me as a "Frenchie" and I have gotten no reply's. Anyone here have any info on this...

If I can manage to be home for more than a 2 days at a time this year...I will check out this place for sure.

this DOES make me feel old :( My last day of high school I ran down the hall banging lockers yelling "I WANNA BE A AIRBORNE RANGER...I WANNA LIVE A LIFE OF DANGER!!" Fell a bit short of this in life...saw too many young men with bad knees and backs....so I will not be jumping out of any...

Too bad... it was a good vid.

wear a tight fitting T-shirt ;) If you don't get it... watch Adams polishing video....he is one lucky dude.

I don't have the staff :(

\ OH YEAH...hes a PIMP 4 sho!

I like Tilt more. They are both good tho.
