  • 4.23k +5V to GND on the nonfunctional module.  4.29k on the functional one.  I think the problem is not a direct short. Something must be causing one of the ICs to draw too much power.  It takes several minutes for the module to shut down when start…

  • I've done that and found nothing. Also, I don't measure any shorts with the multi-meter.  I'm thinking that one of the components is probably defective and causing a short when it warms up.  Does this sound plausible?   If so, how would I go about f…

  • I've isolated the problem to the main board.  I did so as suggested by Altitude.  I also double checked by swapping the boards between the functioning and nonfunctioning units.  I also separately swapped the ICs to make sure none of them were the pr…
