:mad: I have resoldered the wires to it, replaced a resistor, and the thing is still playing up..........must be full of dry joints, last time i broke the clips too:mad:

I haven't removed mine yet, but if there are any electrolytic capacitors on the board, try replacing them too. They are notorious for drying out.

Clock fix

This resistor is in the supply (probably for a Zener diode) and gets hot.

Eventually leads to solder failure.

Resoldered and is now perfect....

I have a high res version of the pic but can't read the exact ohm value written on the pcb. It's definately 2 Watt, and has 820J stamped on the resistor (820 ohm???). You could try a 1K 2W or maybe someone has a clock laying around the garage that they read the value from?

There is one resistor that always burns out just wack a bigger wattage one in the porblem goes away.

FYI, the resistor value is 750 Ohm, 2W.

I'd just like to point out 11.75 years is an awful long time to wait for a reply (and one of, if not the, longest I've seen on a forum anywhere)! :lol:

Of course not- all good things take time. Especially on a clock thread!!! :mrgreen:

LOL. I see what you did there, and I'm back for seconds...
