HI.
I have just repaired the damage from battery of 486 motherboard.
Model looks like: Chaintech_486SPM

Now the keyboard can not be detected. I found, there is no +5V on the AT plug.

I measured:
on Pin 5 - 0V
On Point 1 - +5V

Resistance of J1 - appr. 30 MOhm
Resistance of L5 - infinity.

Connection looks like: Point 1 - L5 - J1 - Pin 5 (in series)
What is L5??? Inductor? What is nominal value?
I think the resistance of J1 is too high. What can be nominal value?

Can I just apply +5 to Pin 5 directly?

Thanks!

See if fuse F1 is blown.

I see only C1, JC1 (jumper) and then two "green" L5 and J1
I see marking F1, but no part.
Probably you mean with F1 - "my part" L5.
If it fuse, then infinity resistance makes sense! Blown.
For what current do I need a new fuse ?

And what can be J1 or part below fuse? They look very similar... Just distance between rings is little bit different.

It looks like someone replaced it with a resistor.

I would say no. The soldering looked as original. Also oxidated.

You need 2 of this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/175117812292?_trkpar … 7Cclp%3A2047675 , fixed the link with one that has the color coding so you will understand better. The actual value is in your case 10 uh with 10% tolerance, 1/2 w should be fine.

Looks like there are at least two hardware variants of this board. The earlier rev has the fuse and I was looking at the schematics for that. Yours has two ferrite cores. The poster above linked the correct parts.
