    Transformer help

    http://ludens.cl/Electron/esr/esr.gif

    I'm not understanding how T1 is meant to be wired. I made the 400:20 transformer- The primary has 2 leads, the start of the winding and the end of the winding. The secondary is the same... that's 4 leads but the schematic only shows 1 of the primary leads being used. What am I missing here?

      Re: Transformer help

      One of the wires of the primary is connected to that capacitor C2
      The second wire of the primary is connected to GROUND of the circuit.

      One of the wires of the secondary is connected to that point above R5
      The second wire of the secondary is connected to GROUND.

      Basically, one wire from each side is connected together and then to GND.

      It's used to send small pulses of AC to the capacitor put between the test points, the 400:20 reduces the AC voltage.

          Samsung 2233SN no CFL backlight
          by Spoonicks
          Hello,

          Have a Samsung 2233SN with no CFL backlight. Testing with a flashlight, I can see the image is displayed, but the backlight fails after some seconds.
          Sometimes, after being off for a while, the backlight will remain on for a couple minutes, but most of the times it fails immediately.




          I tried to follow the guide present in this forum, but so far I haven't de-soldered any components. I need some advice on how to proceed to diagnose this display.

          Following the guide I tested the following:

          The transformer...

          KDM 480W PSU upgrade succes! (opinions?)
          by bauto601
          Back in 2020 i bought a (2nd hand) compact ATX psu to replace my current one. My PC case only fits very short ATX power supplies so i didn't really have the choice of buying a decent 80Plus unit. The current unit is a modded YoungYear unit that i made a thread about a while ago:
          A "nice" YoungYear unit? - Badcaps

          The "new" unit is a KDM-M6480 480W psu, the 480W number is a typical KDM bullshit claim of course, but the 24A rating on the 12V rail seemed reasonable and the "Active PFC" claim gave me a bit of hope that this was going to be decent-ish....

          Tektronix 422 with No Power
          by KYBOSH
          Picked up a Tektronix type 422 oscilloscope locally for a few bucks last year.
          It wouldnt power on at all so I stowed it away under my bench for later testing.
          Today I remembered it was down there and pulled it out to see what was what.

          I checked for continuity and everything checked out.
          There was a burned smell and a resistor was replaced with a temporary replacement (see yellow box in picture).
          The burned smell is very pungent/acidic and I am not familiar with these vintage electronics to know whether I am smelling the remains of the replaced resistor or...

          KingWin ABT-650MM 650 Watt ATX PSU [PCB: SW8835REV:A]
          by momaka
          For today's thread, I have a KingWin ABT-650MM ATX PSU. Official web page with the PSU specs is still up and can be found here:
          http://www.rmac.kingwin.com/products.../abt_650MM.asp

          I just can't help it when I see a broken / for parts PSU on eBay that's listed for cheap and looks at least somewhat interesting. Well, OK, I won't lie – on the outside, this PSU looks anything but interesting. It's a plain gray box with colorful “spaghetti cables”.




          What mostly drew me into buying it is its 2x PCI-E power connectors...

          Technics Transformer question.
          by angelos
          Hi there,
          I have this CD player from a Technics Component unit whose mains transformer is blown. The primary winding is open circuit. This transformer has many secondary windings on its secondary side. This transformer is obviously obsolete.
          I need to know if my trick for a alternative transformer will work. Please check the attachment for explanation.
          I want to use three separate transformers to be equivalent like the original transformer.
          The only thing a bit dodgy is the connection of the 9.6V and 12V outputs of which there is a interconnection between the two windings....
