    Bench PSU recommendations

    Right for some time now I gave up on tracing shorts on CCTs that I cannot get schems for... Time for the current + freeze spray method and take another look at some of these boards I have.

    Recommendations on a good make/model suited for the Job?

    As usual price doesn't matter

    Cheers

          I myself don't have any "new" bench supplies. But I do have an old Lambda LH125FM, an HP6202B,an HP6205B,and an HP6212B. These are fairly cheap, reliable and most important, REPAIRABLE!

              anything new will have a microcontroller in it, so a warranty is your friend.

                  I'd look on Ebay for a used Thurlby, Farnell, or Weir.
                  Good, solid British kit, and very repairable.

                      only if they dont need repair.
                      Thurlby-Thandar aka Sinclair make terible schematics.
                      Farnell ones are just hellish to find - if they even exist.

                      never heard of Weir before.

                          Hi, Can we use SMPS Bench Power Supply for Laptop troubleshooting?
                          by shamsudeen
                          Hi all, I just need to know that, can i use SMPS type power supply to test and short circuit detection on a laptop motherboard?
                          I saw 95% of repair guys are using only Linear bench power supply. linear bench power supply is pricy, thats why i planned to get one SMPS supply.

                          i know that in linear power supply the noise will be very low comparing to SMPS supply....

                          Bench test a series X
                          by Eniaro
                          How do you bench test a series X? I was planning to find a defective PSU to use its connector, but before I go about doing this, I was wondering if there's any bench PSU to the series X connector adapter available

                          it's working only on the bench power supply when I put the battery it doesn't power on. when I also use the original charger it doesn't power. the batter Is fully charged, I used another laptop to charge the battery. but when I use a bench power supply it works perfectly

                          below are my readings

                          Friend messed up my laptop motherboard while working on my bench
                          by Geeker007
                          Hi All,

                          So my friend was visiting and he wanted to use my solder bench to solder on some WLED circuit board. My laptop was open on the side for RAM upgrade. I know my mistake.

                          So while soldering he had too much solder on the soldering iron tip and he just shook off the soldering iron on the table itself to remove extra solder on the soldering tip and it landed on the motherboard of laptop. He then out of fear tried to remove it using solder wick and did more damage by removing some components as well. So here I am with weird situation.

                          I have not tried putting...

                          Bench PSU question
                          by Crystaleyes
                          Hi all.
                          Looking for some help regarding the workings of this unit.

                          Some time ago I picked up a digital bench power supply from the local flea market here in Rio. It's a 'Sincler SPS 3015/D' which I imagine is 30V, 1.5A 'Digital'.
                          Even though it would turn on and show a display, it wasn't working, and no matter how hard I have looked, I've found no reference let alone any kind of schematic. I imagine it is from the late 70's or early 80's? I can only assume that all the components are to the original specs although it had clearly had prior work done so it 'is' possible...
