Hi I found out why my General International 40-915 XM1 I-Carver spindle motor had no torque and speed. Took the motor to a motor rewind shop and it checks out fine for continuity. Removed the black plastic cover behind the carriage and found burn (Blackening)evidence. So I took the Spindle Motor Circuit Board to a electronics shop and they said there is a missing diode or something in the lower right hand corner. Ten bucks to solder a new diode or something back in place. But would anyone know what that would be? Or could someone out there with a 40-915 I-Carver please take the back cover off of there carriage and post me a photo of the lower right hand corner of the Spindle Motor Circuit Board. It says the Warranty will be voided if removed. Well since General was bought out two years ago and no longer exists. I guess I wouldn't matter. The only other option would be to mount another Spindle with its own separate power supply. Food for thought. But right now I would like it to work as designed, call me old fashioned. lol.
Any help would be muchly appreciated.
Thank you
Tom
