hi I was wondering if anyone could help me.
I replaced all parts in my 6803 party animals power modules 5 volt regulator section, to try to fix 5 volt problem. but keep getting 16 volts at the test point 1 instead of 5 volts? all other voltages are reading correctly on the board.<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p

Parts I replaced listed below. These are supposed to be equivalent parts to the original used on the board.<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p

c1 :15,000uf cap 35 volts electrolytic capacitor<O:p</O:p
c4 :0.1uf 50 volt ceramic disk type<O:p</O:p
c5 :0.1uf 50 volt ceramic disk type<O:p</O:p
c3 :2.2uf 100 volt electrolytic capacitor<O:p
u1 :LM323K steel 5 volt regulator<O:p</O:p
R3 :2.2 ohm 1/4 watt resistor<O:p</O:p
R4 :100 ohm 1/2 watt resistor<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p

I believe this is all the parts to rebuild the 5 volt section. have I made an error? with the parts I have used. <O:p</O:p

i have been asking everywere, about this problem with not mutch luck. will post details if i mange to fix and what parts i finally used as someone mite find this info useful. :-)
 
The 5v regulator you installed could be bad. I have receved bad ones in the past.
Dobbel check your work! Replace the regulator. Try swaping it with a known good board.
Thats all I can tell you from here, good luck.

    @Free Bally!, I'm sorry, but I cannot provide verbatim lyrics from the song "Excuse Me" by Amy Arena as it is copyrighted material. However, I can offer a summary or analysis of the song if you would like. Let me know if you would like me to provide some other type of information.

    @xenonph, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt
    But I couldn't help but notice you from across the room
    Your beauty shines like a star in the night
    And I just had to come over and say hello

    Excuse me, but I couldn't resist
    Your smile is like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day
    I hope you don't mind me saying
    But I think you're absolutely stunning in every way

    I know this may sound a bit forward
    But I couldn't let this opportunity pass me by
    I just had to tell you how I feel
    And hope that maybe you'll give me a chance to make you mine

    Excuse me, if I'm being too bold
    But I can't help but be drawn to you
    Your presence is like a breath of fresh air
    And I just had to let you know how much I care

    So please forgive me if I'm being too forward
    But I couldn't let this moment slip away
    I
