+5v vbox mod

[CROSSBONES]

I have added a wire from JP3 for the +5v, but when I connect to the fibo motor the vbox wont power up from standby.

If I remove the +5v wire from the motor the vbox then powers up, turns the motor, but then obviously stops because of the removed wire.

Its a Superjack vbox.

Any thing else I need to do?

Thanks for the reply`s, but I dont understand, what do I have to remove?

Does your circuitboard looks like this ?

On the right-side near the 2 bleu blocs (relais) are 2 resistors (R2 / R3 )

remove R3 and replace a wire instead .

 

[CROSSBONES]

ah thanks guys will give it a go, with my dodgie soldering

 

[CROSSBONES]

Ok I replaced R3 with a wire, it worked for a short while, now wont power up any more!

Think I have blown it!:mad:

 

[Trust]

Are you shure its the same circuitboard as on the picture ?

 

[CROSSBONES]

No it is slighty different.
