Title: Buddha ide FLASH
Post by: Marmes on June 26, 2017, 11:12:52 PM
Hi!

Does anyone have a Buddha ide FLASH here?
I need to know if the 74ls245 heat to the point of almost can't touch.
My buddha works, from first boot, but if I turn off and on the computer within 10seconds, it won't boot. I have to wait a bit.
If I go to the boot menu from KS within those 10sec, I see the board is recognized and still there.
Can anyone give me a feedback on this?
Thanks!

74ls245 are most likely used as buffers to protect designs. It should not normally run hot.

If it is so hot as you said, something is not right in your Buddha. Maybe a shortcut, a cap leakage, or some other funky stuff.

Gal and MACH get hot, but not too much only 3 of the 4 ls245 get hot.
I tested the capacitors, but I will change them anyway

My Buddha failed and those 74ls chips get hot enough to burn you so i am sure they are bad.
i should change them, maybe the card still works.
