    7805 + 2 diodes should work at roughly 7.5V

      The 3 terminal 78 series regulators have current foldback protection to protect from output short circuits or low impedance.
      It doesn't seem to protect against 5,000uF caps connected directly between output and ground. I was trying to zap shorts out of a nicad.

        diy - voltage injection possiblity with voltage and ampere regulator - possiblity ?
        by playit
        hello ,for diy voltage injector for short killer/finder -- is it possible to use something like this - LM317 DC Linear Regulator, DC-DC 4.5~40V Turn 1.2~37V, Step Down Power Module, Adjustable

        and ampere controller along (to make it zero amps ) with some addons(transistors diodes etc.) for it -- and use some 5v adaptor or 3.3v volt rail of my smps power supply as input and finally get 1v and zero amps for injecting voltage to find out short circuit component ? ..
        for source input -- can we use 3.3 -4 volt 18550 battery ?( i have some of those ) and then adding ampere regulator...

        Help identifying voltage regulator on this concept 2 pm5 monitor pcb board?
        by artvandalai
        This Concept 2 rower pm5 monitor doesn't shut down. It keeps turning on and stays on after being turned off. I read on another forum by another user that replaced the same component to check the voltage regulator.
        The monitor should pull around 35mA when turned on and in shutdown it should drops to around 0.060mA. Any advice on finding the voltage regulator on this board to check if it needs to be replaced?

        Hi all!

        The TV does not turn on, the standby indicator is on. All voltages are present.
        Emms is dead. Not readable, not detected.
        Replaced emmc.
        But with another dump there is no launch

        Ram regulator misbehaving DDR3 VTT voltage Tps 51216
        by shakib200
        The ram regulator produces VTT voltage of 0.65V and the display comes. When we restart the laptop the VTT voltage becomes 0.75 and no display.[Used same ddr3l ram].
        Also, it becomes 1.35 V on the ram coil and all are okay but after restarting Voltage becomes 1.5V with no display.

        Volvo HU850 Radio/CD-player repair, LDO-voltage regulator IC
        by slothen92
        Hello

        Im trying to repair the Volvo HU850 radio/CD-player from a Volvo V70.
        I have ordered replacements for the four transistors (SD1760), but Im not sure about a replacement for the low dropout voltage regulator IC (marked by the red circle in the attached picture).
        On the body of the IC it says: “LF33AH GK133544”.

        Does anyone know where to find this part or a replacement for it?

        Cheers
