Well there is progress.
I cobbled together a lead, an unused SMPS and the Micron 3 amber monitor that came with the purchase.
First thing I did was bell the lead, it is an audio 5 pin din to 4 rca lead. Pin 1 red, Pin 2 gnd and pin 3 yellow. That is enough to get it going. Convenient colour choice too!
Upon reading other posts regarding not stressing the voltage regulators too much, I turned the SMPS to it's minimum, in this case 10.39v
The big moment arrived.
I removed the covers to take some pictures of the innards.
I still have 4 nonfunctioning keys, I have been given a link to ilike8bits.com dealing with the repair of the keyboard.
I also have a Gotek that I will be adding to the system.
