Thanx elektra beckum typ 280 wp plasma
chip altered in the meantime
What could be the original chip?
two pcs LM324N
I think one chip faulty, and overheating is happening.
That's a poor soldering job on both those chips. Get new ones and resolder them in properly and see if that fixes it. Chips rarely overheat so much that they melt the solder. LM 324 are basic op-amps not power components.
They should only be installed the right way round or they will be damaged and need replacing.
Is there no faintly visible identifying labelling on the second chip?
