    @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.

    Are you getting any voltage on the secondary of the power supply?
    post#6
    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 transformer
    I will guess you are not getting any voltages even on the main cap, so it is either R801? 3.3Ω 10 watt resistor is open or the power switch is bad

    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?

    B+ looks like that 121v rail which should be on, if I read it right, C813. 100uF 150v looks like.

    if this is a philips design then it may have a shorted line-output transformer.
    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.

    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.

    The primary side is anything within the white line where the power cord connects to the board
    Checked all you said RJ and everything is OK and those 2 caps are within tolerence. Ice also resoldered many contacts especially around things like the LOPT etc. I cant see any bad looking joints and those that look a bit dull I have resoldered. There is quite a bit of flux on this board but the joints look good.

    With something that old, don't forget about cracked solder joints.

    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..

    May be you should also upload the service manual.

    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.

    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 fault

    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 you

    How can I be sure that my EC chip is dead?
    by double_DD
    Hi 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...

    ps5 edm-033 dead after hdmi/usb ports destroyed
    by disorder
    hello 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.

    Finding a dead short component
    by Beton
    Hi 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...

    Chieftec GPS-450-AA with dead 20N60C3
    by zunasthegreat
    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...

    MSI Raider GE75 - Not posting, probable dead CPU
    by FiguringITout
    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".

    Specs: I7-10750H, RTX 2060, 32GB RAM (unknown manufacturer)...
