This topic on MXR ISO brick includes some mentions of Ojai & includes a gut shot: viewtopic.php?t=30926

More gut shots of the Ojai here: https://alfalfasprout69.wixsite.com/oja ... t-pictures

24V connector is EIAJ-05 (https://www.strymon.net/faq/link-ojai-units-zuma/)
24V input/loop board appears to just hold a Nichicon filter cap & (common mode, given 2 colours of wire?) inductor.

16 pin chip marked "AJE BAC" is probably a buck converter. Possibly controller only? Figuring out what this is should lead to a datasheet explaining 90% of the rest of it.
3 pin SOT connected to the 16 pin chip probably a power transistor. Single-ended drive?

Transformer marked Chipsen EP10 (28uH) TAIHU130-tm

large body 4 pin on back side of the board probably an opto isolator
not sure what the 5 pin SOT package next to it could be. Looks like it is on the output side of the transformer.

Took some photos from my Zuma. Can't seem to upload them here, so link to them instead:



T3CJ, DCDC, https://datasheetspdf.com/datasheet/XC9225.html
- From ident: XC9225, 3.2 volts out, 1.2MHz osc
- feedback loop of this DCDC looks to be controlled by the 9/12/18v switch
- looks to be using very small smd inductor. Not the big chipsen part

EL3H7, Opto, https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/143/ ... -26376.pdf
- collector goes to pin13 of AJE BA1. Emitter looks like it goes to gnd on inner layer

AJE BA1, 16pin quad pack
- package is 3x3mm. Looks to be driving the big chipsen transformer?

KARL8, 3 pin SOT23
- connects to pin 11 of AJE BA1
- connects to chipsen transformer
- marked as Q, so probably a transistor of some kind

CHIPSEN EP10 (28uH) TAIHU 130-TM
1000uF 10V nichicon output caps (voltage rating a bit low) on 9v outputs. 1000uF 25V on 18v outputs
129 ZHW, 12v zener, https://pdf2.alldatasheet.net/datasheet ... M2Z12.html

Hi guys! I have a ZUMA but there was an electric incident. Amazingly only a resistor was carbonized by the electric shock, and I need replace only that resistor but there is no way to obtain the correct value.
Could you help me to obtain the value? I
