The external batteries outside the metal case had been wired from the anode of low voltage drop D5 to JPB 2 battery 1k earth jumper link. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ D5 | | レトエ<テトトトトトトトトソ+3.6V External ウ _ウ_ Replacement テトエ<テトoVCC ワ Li 2x AA in ウ D4 ウ battery Holder ウ 1 o | ウ JPB 2 oトソ- - - - - - - - ル ウ 3 o ウ トトチツトトトトトトトトトトトチト)トトツトトトoVBB to Ram Memory ウ+ ウ タトトトoBACKUP to IC U4 1u === 1k チトトトトトトトトトトトトトチトトト0V As you see from the circuit there is very little other than the 1uF protecting the static sensitive memory IC from external electrical shock (static & HF). The Li battery current limiting 1k earth resistor left in the external battery system only making matters worse! THE DAMAGE In the end the TNC packed up with a blown up memory 62256 IC & a Z80 S10/0 IC Which handles the data bus to the memory & Z80 CPU. This was found by swapping ICs to another TINY2, luckily all in sockets. The logic IC U4 a 78HC132 took the Zapp OK! MY SOLUTION After replacing the ICs, I unsoldered the Li battery & wired the battery connections to 2x AAA Alkaline cells (soldered to batts with special solder or file ends) all tapped up (parcel tape) to provide insulation & some battery leakage protection to the PCB & double side taped the bundle to the PCB where the 82C88 IC hole space is. レトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトソ ウ12V (~~~~~~~~) DD SW ウ ウ ( 2x AAA ) 45 [Li] ウ ウRIG ~~~~~~~~ ウ ウDIN レトトトソ レトトトソレトトトソレトトトソ Lウ ウsw ウ ウ ウ ウウEP ウウRAMウ ウ ウ ウZ80ウ ウZ80ウウROMウウMEMウ Eウ ウ ウS10ウ ウCPUウウ ウウ ウ ウ ウ2 ウ ウ ウ ウタトトトルタトトトル Dウ ウ3 タトトトル タトトトル ウ ウ2 Sウ タトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトトル I expect the 2 AAAs should last as long as the original Li? I hope this tale stops anyone else from zapping their TNC. P.S. don't forget to backup your TNC EPROM if you can, as EPROMS only have a 7 year G'tee image lifetime!
