Later models were designated Volkswagen 1200, 1300, 1500, 1302, or 1303, the first three indicating engine displacement, the last two derived from the model number. The car was then internally designated the Volkswagen Type 1, and marketed simply as the Volkswagen. With 21,529,464 produced, the Beetle is the longest-running and most-manufactured car of a single platform ever made.Īlthough designed in the 1930s, due to World War II, civilian Beetles only began to be produced in significant numbers by the end of the 1940s. The result was the first Volkswagen, and one of the first rear-engined cars since the Brass Era. The influence on Porsche's design of other contemporary cars, such as the Tatra V570, and the work of Josef Ganz remains a subject of dispute. Béla Barényi is credited with conceiving the original basic design for this car in 1925, notably by Mercedes-Benz, on their website, including his original technical drawing, five years before Porsche claimed to have done his initial version. Lead engineer Ferdinand Porsche and his team took until 1938 to finalise the design. Members of the National Socialist party, with an additional dues surcharge, were promised the first production, but the Spanish Civil War shifted most production resources to military vehicles to support the Nationalists under Francisco Franco. The need for a people's car ( Volkswagen in German), its concept and its functional objectives were formulated by the leader of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, who wanted a cheap, simple car to be mass-produced for his country's new road network ( Reichsautobahn). Not sure if the board was misprinted or if there's something shorted to ground? I've also attached photos of the PS board (from ShopJimmy) as it's a clearer photo than I took, but mine looks the same.The Volkswagen Beetle-officially the Volkswagen Type 1, informally in German der Käfer (meaning " beetle"), in parts of the English-speaking world the Bug, and known by many other nicknames in other languages-is a two-door, rear-engine economy car, intended for five occupants (later, Beetles were restricted to four people in some countries), that was manufactured and marketed by German automaker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until 2003. It's odd that the two GND pins have 16.5v on them. Voltages in parenthesis were measured after power button pressed. The following voltages were measured at the PS connector with the wiring still connected to the main board. No bulging caps or discoloration can be seen. I see that ShopJimmy offers a repair "kit" that replaces ALL boards but I'd like to try to pinpoint the exact issue if possible. No backlight, no image (flashlight test).

I've got this Insignia NS-43DR620NA18 that has a blinking standby light after you push the power button (via remote or TV) but will not power on.
