Title: Repairing GT looking for info on Inverter/copper coil upper left corner
Post by: Rosser on August 09, 2014, 08:06:11 AM
Hello all, I'm doing a Cap replacement on GT.When I went opened it up the white gunk in the upper left corner of the GT motherboard where the two 100/16v caps are located was partly hanging off the board I found the coil after picking all the white stuff off, but i'm unsure of its orientated on the board and how it attaches. I would probably like to replace it instead of reinstalling as it looks like part of the plastic is missing. I would appreciate any info (http://pic.photobucket.com/bwe.png)

Yes it's missing some material
It will work fine that way

so was the coil up right like you see on most motherboards or laying down or does it matter?
also if I did replace it what should I replace it with? (just asking because it shot across the room out of my tension grip tweezers after the photo.

Thanks so much for your assistance thesteve

Don't know the specs
Doesn't matter how you mount it
