    Transformer Tape

    Have just received an inverter transformer for a monitor power supply board.
    It has yellow transparent tape around it. Do I remove the tape before fitting or leave it on? The one I am taking off does not have any tape on it.

              DealExtreme.com sells Kapton tape cheap. It's not that yellow tape but is high temperature and apparently is used for transformers, even where high voltage safety is needed.

                  If the tape is still sticky, and you have a use for it, keep it. Otherwise it will just sit around adding to a larger mess of stuff

                      IBM LTO 7 Tape Drive - Dust Sensors??
                      by RetroComputingGrotto
                      I have a Quantum SuperLoader robotic tape library that uses an IBM LTO 7 tape drive which is constantly complaining that it needs cleaning. If you insert a cleaning tape, it performs the clean and resets the cleaning counter to 0 hours. It should only require cleaning every 50 or so working hours but after as little as just 1 hours use it requests cleaning. We've purchased a new cleaning tape along with new LTO backup tapes but that has not resolved the problem.

                      I have taken the library apart and can see no noticeable signs of dust inside. I have removed the tape drive from the...

                      Problem

                      This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                      Help choosing replacement transformer for Levoit 600S SMPS
                      by learnmore
                      Hello Community,

                      I'm attempting to repair the SMPS on a Levoit 600S air purifier. The transformer is likely open. It has six pins. 2 pairs on the primary side (one pair tested open) and 1pair of legs on the secondary side. Legs on the secondary side are spread wide apart (end-to-end). I've circled them in blue. Dimentons of the transformer are 22x23mm. Marking on the transformer are EE16 1.9mH-B. Fuse for the powerboard is fuse 250V 3.15A. I've been unable to find an exact match and I'm hoping for some help here to find a suitable replacment.

                      Peace

                      Original Xbox 1.0 PSU: Foxlink FTPS-0002 Rev. B. — 12 V low, 5 V high — transformer?
                      by ohren
                      Hello!

                      I'm looking at an original Xbox PSU: Foxlink ftps-0002 rev. B. The 12 V output is too low, and the 5 V output is too (?) high. Unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope but only a DMM for diagnosis.

                      Measured voltages with no load:

                      After rectifier diodes
                      12V: 6.17 V
                      5V: 5.67 V

                      Secondary transformer pins AC measurement (really don't know if this says anything)
                      12V: 2-2.5 V
                      5V: 1.04 V


                      I also have another (working) Xbox psu from Delta. The same measures there, in order, being: 10.79,...

                      LG 75UN8570AUD panel issue fixed with tape.
                      by triplefour
                      I've been seeing a lot of the new TVs (samsung and LG only i think) maybe 1-2 years old suffering from sudden panel death and have been over 50% successful bringing them at least most of the way back to functionality if not all the way, with the tape masking of the LVDS pins method.
                      add this one to the list. the issue was on the left side of the panel and i ended up blocking just 3 pins on the connector that joins the two panel boards that make up the left side of the panel (it has 4 boards total) i didnt get the picture back to 100% perfect. i spent hours fiddling with which pins to block...
