Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

One final question before I go buying silikongrease. Did You also grease the tooths on the plastic gearwheel? I am planning to inject silikongrease with a suringe, between all moving parts

Yes I also greased these, everything in there. Thank you for the video, I have never seen it working.

My gears teeths was totaly dry. And I refer to the gearwheel shown on the movie I uploaded. Did You grease this teeths?

Hi, I have a Kodak Reels european variant with serial that doesn't match any firmware type and apparently it's D, because flashing anything else than stock D firmware makes is unusable.

Please share the first 5 characters of your serial number. Like "H2825".

hi all,
new member here, looking to use updated firmware on a Reels unit I picked up off Ebay.

there was a posting last year on the subject of the power supply - with a burned out component (8 pin, surface mount), looking for any intel on the identity of the component.

the Spares or Repair unit I have was dead - not even a hint of powering up - and although the power board didn't have any signs of damage, when probing with a multimeter between pins 1 and 2 with 12 v in the barrel (and nothing else connected), I slipped and released magic smoke. I suspect it was already mostly dead, but I certainly finished it off.

does anyone have any insight as to what this component is? it's marked BMEAF, like the other post - another option (a reply) showed a BOG0B marking.

I'd really like to get this device working - I've got a bunch of old super 8 to transfer, and would quite like to shoot some new movies !

thanks in advance

Nick

"Matead" indicated in his post 485 in the original thread that "The chip is in fact a LSP5523-R8A."

Digikey in the US has them for 77 cents.
