Ciao Diego, "never play the victory horn before the battle is won"....may I so in english translate what, here in Italy, we say: "non cantare vittoria prima del tempo"......?
Unfortunately the "no surgery" repairing, works for a whole day only!
And this time I did not follow my personal rule "don't open when it still works, opening you can get a worst situation...." and infact....
Now it does turn on at all, the diagnosis: cracked posts!
One of the downer ones, expecially, is completely broken...I'm pretty sure that somebody tried to fix it already in the past, maybe the previous owner, 'cause there are traces of glue.... anyway..
I've removed the CPU and tried the repairing job with the "Geoff" method, ofcourse not first to have pristined the one which was completely broken, like cut off..
It worked great with both the downer ones which now I can tightened with a proper torque, but not yet with the upper one on the right. I've just reglued trying for the second attempt and we will see...................
............as I said never...."non cantare vittoria prima del tempo"
I should like to try the brass permanent fix repairing from the archives here, but I cant contact aj04062 for more details and for thr brassed posts....somebody else has already tried this way?
