I have recently received two RLS1c's to recondition. Aside from the well known corroded connector and battery holder problems, the internal DC-DC converter (MAX654) doesnot start up repeatedly and reliably on either unit. It appears that one has been replaced sometime in the past. Has this circuit/configuration been
updated? Can you provide a schematic (to save me some time)? I am willing to share my ciruit improvements or change once I better understand the problem. (Remember, I'm doing this in my spare time, so I'm not in a big hurry.)
