I repaired a broken shutter on F3 and am in the process of reassembling it.
However, I think I got my wiring diagram mixed up. I only get 1.5v on Vcc and I should have 2.4v.
Does anyone outhere have a wiring diagram for F3 old FPC? More specifically, I need master on/off switch wiring colors. There are four wires and I need to match them. While at it, there is a small circuit that green magnet gets attached to. Anyone with that wiring would help.

Thanks.

Hi Simon:

Sorry, I don't have that, but for future reference I have a tip from years of working without manuals or wiring diagrams (or digital cameras): instead of desoldering wires i got into the habit of cutting them off, leaving 1 or 2mm of insulation so I could tell which one went where when I put it back together. These days, I keep a digital camera handy to snap a shot of everything before i disturb it.
