Hi everybody!
As a newbie it's nice to be here...
Even though this topic is older it discribes exactly how my Elk behaves.
The story:
Last weekend I received an "as new" Elk (see photo below if I'm allowed to upload it. The photo has been taken
before(!) I cleaned the computer).
Before running it I checked the voltage of the PSU board. +5V and -5V are OK, 19V are not OK as I'm using a DC PSU to run the Elk...
As far as I've read (and as far as I've understood reading the Service Manual) this is OK as 19V are only available on the expansion port which isn't used.
I was happy as the Electron seems to work fine when I switched it on first. - Then came the evil surprise!

Half an hour or so the computer works fine but then it flickers and behaves exactly as described in this thread.
Now it's down and only shows a yellow screen when being switched on. As I've read that this is a known issue I've removed the ULA and cleaned the contacts. I also have removed the ROM to ensure that contacts are OK.
This hasn't changed anything. The screen still is yellow and the system doesn't boot up. => No LED, No Beep, no nothing.
Any suggestions? - Do I have grilled the ULA?
THNX for info.
