5 vdc Power

I think my on board 5 vdc output is dead. Can I use an external 5 vdc for the DINs? And if so, what kind?

So, your normal outputs still activate with 5V, but you're saying that the continuous 5V output terminal is dead? That seems pretty odd since I would expect that the continuous terminal would be tied right to the voltage regulator.

I might need to buy a new multimeter then. I did not try to read an Out, but the 5 vdc Out is "0". The Multi meter is Coco ( "C" of Chinese Orgin). I am rewiring the BCS and moving it so that I can get to it. I had it hung where no child could get to it. Unfortunately, I am also a Child.

I bought a little LED Voltage gauge and it read 4.46. Throwing the cheap Coco muti meter away!
