    JBC Soldering station no power after 220v

    Accidentally plugged it into a 220v transformer in the USA and the fuse blew, i replaced it with the 2 amp fuse and didnt get any power to it

    Did it still damage something inside even with the blown fuse?

    post some foto's of the insides.
    something has to fail to make the fuse blow.

      If it's the JBC station I'm thinking, it more than likely has a switching power supply inside it (i.e. same type as laptops and desktops). Typically, those power supplies also have an NTC thermistor (used for inrush current limiting when you plug in the power cord to the wall). It's not too uncommon for the NTC thermistor to blow too when the fuse blows.

      However, like stj said, post some good-focused pictures, so we can point you better at what might be wrong.

        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...

        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...

        Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
        by PantherDave
        Hi all!

        I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

        I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

        Argon SA1 audio amplifier power-supply - fuse blown after fixing the short?
        by Babbar
        I found a project in the electronics trash yesterday. A nice Argon SA1 audio amp with some electrical issue. Took it apart and saw that the 4A250V fuse was blown so started lifting components to find the short. Eventually got to two MOSFETs (model FTA14N50C) that are shorted and when i took them out the short was gone.

        Now i didn't have any replacements of the same model of course but i found a couple with pretty similar spec i thought (K10A60D & K12A50D) and put them in. Also replaced the blown fuse with a 3.5A250V one. Checked another time for short circuit and plugged it in....

        Edac/Drobo Power Supply Fuse
        by vletr
        Hello,

        Looking for next steps on troubleshooting for an external power supply made by EDAC, model EA11011H-120. The power supply was dropped onto a tile floor and initially and briefly worked but the led power indicator light faded out and the power supply showed no signs of life since.

        In disassembly, I found that the large capacitor had leaked and was reading open when measured. The fuse nearest to the AC in had also blown, with no continuity. I ordered a new capacitor and fuse and replaced both, but on power-up with no load the fuse immediately blew.
