I can only say that they fail often. We have replaced lots in
our 11/70. Luckily we have had spares.

Sometimes the failure has been rather catastrofic with blown
components. I think these modules run quite hot since
discoloured pcb:s are common.

I think we more often see failures in the H744(0) modules, but we've had failures in both, yes.

Hot is a good guess, I think.

Hi folks,

I've begun repairing my PDP 11/40 and have tracked down the first major issue 
to the H745 (-15v) regulator.

Before I dig into it, I just wanted to see if there are any common known 
failure cases... Otherwise I'll just dive into troubleshooting it. :)

Thanks as always-
