    What are these VR's for ??

    I have a Sparkle Power FSP300-60ATV which is a little low on the +12v but good on the +3.3v and +5v.

    Inside, on the main board, there are 3 trim pots, VR1, VR2, and VR3.
    The board indicates it is a Rev.2 series.
    The caps appear OK as do the resistors.

    Before I start playing with it, does anyone know what each of these pots is for??
    1 is beside the power in, 1 is beside the main chip/ P-OK wire, and 1 is beside the 3.3v sense(at the front panel)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated ....

      Is this the same PSU as here or different one?

          Well lets see.. It's a PSU so the best guess is.. they will be in the sense/feedback circuitry for the different voltage rail regulators, and perhaps the one on the "HOT" side of the psu could be to set the switch mode oscillator frequency..

          I'm starting to smell fried technician.. take great care if you don't have an isolation TX !!

              Behringer xenyx x1204usb mixer
              by Thermaltake
              Hi, I have few questions


              1. few of my pots on mixer are turning so hard, I tried to clean them and spray some DeoxIT Fader spray in it, but it didn't help. Is there any way to put some grease inside that pots whole that is on the side instead of spraing in it ?

              2. Or is it just simpler to replace them all with same ones ? I am not into pots, so am I able to put some better quality ones or it needs to be same one as they were default ?...

              Samsung SyncMaster 955DF dim image fix
              by rattlesnake
              This display looks a bit dim but the image is otherwise fine. I already set the contrast to 100 and the brightness to 50 (more than that is counterproductive, it becomes hazy).

              To enable extra tuning, I have to enable the "Highlight Zone" function and stretch it to full screen. That way it looks really bright/intense and really good! I wish I could set it permanently like this, but as soon as you change the display mode/resolution or you turn the monitor off, you lose the "Highlight zone" config and you have to manuallly activate it again. Also, the manual says...

              Samson Servo 120 Amp Issues
              by vletr
              Hello,

              I have an old Samson Servo 120 (not the Servo 120a) amplifier that has a weird audio issue and I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting. When playing music through the amp, the music will cut out or drop slightly, almost like dirty volume pots. I've done the basic "turn the pots up and down several times" cleaning that we do when this happens on the road, but I have the opportunity to actually try to fix the issue now. It's not a full-on drop out like when the amp is overdriven and a channel cuts out - I've had that happen with different amps and this is different....

              nacon ps4 wired controller faulty LED and trigger pot
              by jetuaime81
              I have a nacon controller which has some fancy RGB ring (4 RGB LEDs). 3 of 4 leds are not good and I am looking for a replacement. The size I measured is 3mm x 2.5mm and it seems a 3528 led would fit fine, and it's in common anode. But I am not sure what wattage it is. I have attached photos of led and driver ic (ak63rq1 I think).

              Also one of the triggers is malfunctioning sometimes, I don't know what these pots are called. I measured across the 1st and last legs (in circuit) seems to be 1.1kohm pot. I found some xbox controllers have this but they are 10k. Any info?...

              American Audio VLP1500 Distorting on one channel
              by dicky96
              Hi guys I have a VLP1500 amplifier here - one channels works fine and the other channel distorts even at low volume settings

              Protection and Clip LED are off

              There is something wrong with the BIAS voltages around T16 and T18 (in particular) on the bad channel

              I tested all diodes and transistors in this area in circuit with diode mode - both channels seem identical. Same in resistance mode across all the resistors here.

              The output DC voltages on pin1 and pin8 of the 5532D dual op amp at the input of each amplifier module are the same, and the audio...
