    Bench Power Supply

    Time I bought some more equipment I think and now considering a Variable Bench PSU.

    How valuable to you guys is having one?

    Any suggestions for best range of variation when working with TV's and Computer Hardware?

    Cheers

      Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
      by Tynan Dill
      I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

      Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

      I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

      The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

      With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

      Assuming...

      Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
      by sam_sam_sam
      I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

      One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

      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....

      LENOVO IDEAPAD 100 works only on bench power supply
      by rabsonnjala
      Hie I have a Lenovo laptop
      Lenovo Ideapad 100-14IBY AIVP1-AIVP2 LA-C771P rev 1.0
      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

      with the original charger only
      JBATT1
      PIN1 0.22V
      PIN2 0.22V
      PIN3 0.45V
      PIN4 0.45V
      PIN5 O.43V
      PIN6 0V
      PIN7 GND
      PIN8...

      Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
      by sam_sam_sam
      I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

      I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...
