Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
@roadrash.
get a lamp holder and a REAL 40w lamp.
poundland should have them.
then i'll explain how to isolate the power section from the HV/deflection and test the psu on it's own.

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
post#2Are you getting any voltage on the secondary of the power supply?Are you getting any voltages from the power supply? Start by check in for voltage on the main filter cap. C803, then do you have voltage on pins 4 & 5 of the power supply transformerLast edited by R_J; 05-23-2019, 09:17 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
Checked c813 but i think you meant C814 cos 813 was a ceramic. It looks like a lot of caps are leaking but its just adhesive. I still dont understand what STJ meant about isolating the LOPT and check B+. How do i isolate the LOPT and where is B+ and what am i checking it for?Leave a comment:

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
B+ looks like that 121v rail which should be on, if I read it right, C813. 100uF 150v looks like.Leave a comment:

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
Sorry STJ can you put this in simple talk. How to isolate LOPT and what should B+ be doing? It is a Daewoo CM-120 made for Commodore.Leave a comment:

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
Q402 short between base & emitter is normal, you are measuring the horz. drive transformer, no short between e - c is good, The transistor is likely ok.
Start by check in for voltage on the main filter cap. C803, then do you have voltage on pins 4 & 5 of the power supply transformer
The cap I thould could give no start of the power supply would be C806 and maybe C825. Have you checked the board for poor solder connections? Parts like large resistors get hot and over time the solder goes to hell, transformer pin connections also get weak overtime.
Are you getting any voltages from the power supply?
The primary side is anything within the white line where the power cord connects to the boardLeave a comment:

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
With something that old, don't forget about cracked solder joints.Leave a comment:

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
i would isolate the line output transistor and then see if you have B+ as it should be.
if this is a philips design then it may have a shorted line-output transformer.Leave a comment:

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
The transistor Q402 shows a short between the base and emitter when its in circuit. Should I remove it to check it or is this enough? Plea Here is the service manual but remeber this is for a NTSC model and mine is a PAL model. se point out where the primary area is..Attached FilesLast edited by roadrash; 05-22-2019, 02:03 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
Thank you RJ,l. I have had a few sucesses recently and it would be nice to sort this one seeing as its posibly something minor causing it. Ive taken some pictures for you so can you point out these 2 caps in the primary to me..Can you point out the Secondary section.
I really do need to be able to identify these areas now that I am doing so many PSU's now.Leave a comment:

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
It might be a simple as one of the two small caps in the primary, 2.2µf or the 10µf
Are you getting any voltage on the secondary of the power supply?
Check Q402 horizontal output transistor and see if it is ok and not shorted. If it's ok its likley just the power supply at faultLeave a comment:

Help with dead Commodore 1802
I wonder could someone help me get my old Commodore 1802 monitor working again. This was working perfectlyfor years andthe other day I left it running for a few hours and when I came back it was dead. Ive checked fuses but they are ok so must me a PSU fault.
There is 240v AC getting into the PCB and I can follow it quite a distance. Visualy looks like nothing is wrong but there is a STR54041 regulator which ive ordered just in case its that.
I have found and attached a Schematic and i have a service manual but its for the 110v NTSC version.
thank youTags: None

by double_DDHi all,
As the title suggests, how can I be sure that my EC chip is really dead?
I've recently gotten into this hobby of laptop repairs, and have successfully brought back to life a couple with some easy fixes, mostly shorted caps.
Now I'm working on HP Probook 455 G8, that had some "devil" run around on 3V line, burning a bunch of stuff. Luckily I have a dead 455G7 (for spare parts) so I managed to fix it (swapped burned parts) to a point that it will charge (both on barrel jack and usb-c), but it doesn't want to turn on. There is a 3V3 on a keyboard... -
by disorderhello guys,
i need help to repair a edm-033 ps2
history : as always hdmi port and usb ports destroyed after unplugged
after change them, ps5 dead too : 1 beep, no blue light. after inspection 1.8v power was shorted, and because of dead panasonic chip. after remove it : no short anymore
so i changed it
now i have got 5v stby,, 3.3v stby, 3.3v power, 1.8v power and no short on them
but the ps5 is dead again : 1 beep, near 10 seconds with power lines and then off, no blue light ...
i don't see any projection of liquid metal on pcb.

by BetonHi guys!
I searched for the term "dead short" in the forum but no specific thread came up however if I'm just blind and couldn't see the thread talking about this please forward me to that direction.
So my problem is I don't know how to find the source of a dead shorted voltage rail. Dead short = ~0 ohm resistance.
I have two VGAs (HD 4850 and HD 4870), both dead shorted to ground on the memory rail. I have the boardview file for the 4870 and the memory rail consists around ~7892346 capacitors...
I have a bench PSU and if I try to inject voltage the voltage... -
Hello everyone hope all doing well!
I have this PSU (GPS450-AA delta oem) around for like 4-5 years and I had it recapped early 2020 or 2021 with mostly UCC KY and Nichicon PW's. The bulk was and still is fine, the original Ltec's were bloated and empty. The previous issue was some major coil whine noise and at times random shutdowns when going idle. Today it started tripping the mains breaker and I think I have dead APFC mosfets (20N60C3). Right now upon checking I have the Q1 and Q3 FETs dead so far and I guess those are responsible for the PFC circuit. The only thing I care is If there...3 Photos -
Hello, today I'm working on this lovely MSI Raider GE75 gaming laptop which I bought to flip. Unfortunately, I believe the CPU is toast but I wanted a second opinion before I chucked it into my spare parts bin. I will not have most tools with me today as I'm away from my workbench but I have the basics (a good multimeter, a horrible iron, a solid screwdriver, and my trusty thermal cam). I do not have the original 230w charger, but I have a Dell 180w which was sold with the device and reportedly "worked fine for them".
