well im making sort of progress,when i got the scope q1034 on the z axis board was dead,,i replaced it and it brought up a trace,but something killed the replacement,ive replaced that too but its running well hot and still the r900 hv pot does nothing!,i pulled q1024 and q1034 still ran hot,then pulled q 1043,it then ran cool,so with either q 1024 or q 1043 in place q 1034 gets too hot,still the hv pot does nothing,any ideas where to look?,cheers Paul m3vuv.
