TNA Problem

15 Replies, 853 Views

I'm hoping someone has had this problem and fixed it, the problem is the TNA from before, he plays the theme, but he wont run, the motor doesn't try and its a different one, and the 2 black parts on the motherboard (the ones that stick out) overheat pretty badly, I got a burnt splinter of how bad it got, hope someone knows how to fix this

I am no wiring wizard but the first thing that came to my mind is if there are any Resistors involved with these TNA's?

I don’t if this is relevant, but there is a dedicated wafer type fuse somewhere hidden inside the chassis’ underside that is independent of the circuit board.
I have seen it.
My electronics friend found it and replaced it on a Japanese version of James for me years ago.
Play nice & have fun!!Smile

Wow that’s awesome! 
I can’t remember how many there are known to exist, but I’m pretty sure it’s one of only a handful.

A 1000 in existence, or a $1000 dollars?
