    Power Supply...

    My computer has been acting very strange lately with random restarts and what seems like a loss of power and many complete freezes of the system. I took apart my PSU today, made by TurboLink, and discovered these:

    Two blown capacitors...



    I've looked at my motherboard twice with no sign of bad capacitors although I guess you can never be sure, right?

      That looks like a Deer made powersupply, do yourself a favor and throw it in the junk and buy a decent powersupply instead

          Hi FordGT

          I would take Per's advice on this one - Turbolink-branded PSUs are often Deer/LC Power under (a very thin) disguise. But Deer or not, Fuhjyyu caps (which in your case are definitely burst) are not among the best - and, judging from the picture, those solder joints between the output wiring and PCB appear weak too.

          The problems you've been having are certainly very typical for a malfunctioning PSU.

              Definitely will be buying a new one. This one is a 350W, should I go any higher?


              I have an Athlon 1800+XP, DVD, CDRW, floppy, PCI modem which I don't use and a USB card, along with the HDD. Along with any wattage info, any good manufacturers? I've heard maybe Antec?

                      No Antec for me then!

                      What should I use?


                      How about this:

                          Search www.ewiz.com for Enhance, Sparkle or FSP Group. They have a number of each in the 350~450W available. Some with APFC, more w/o PFC.

                                  imho get a 12cm fan for quiet but good airflow. all FSP are good. the more expensive the better.

                                  if you want a little bling get a bluestorm (50.99)

                                      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.

                                      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...

                                      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...

                                      Definitive technology SC 2000 subwoofer amp's power supply clicking and popping
                                      by JimBanville
                                      The sub developed a constant popping every couple seconds from woofer and power LED flickering with nothing but wall AC connected. Connecting an audio cable didn't change anything. It doesn't play but a second or two of audio in between the pops.
                                      Opened it up and discovered the power supply is making a faint clicking or ticking sound.
                                      I measured the amp's output to the woofer and it pulses up to 50mv DC to be driver. The pulses coincide with the power supply ticking/clicking.
                                      I measured the power supply output going to the amp board and it too has this pulsing. Voltage cycles...

                                      Hello Everybody,

                                      Trying to repair a power supply from a Russound CA4 Multizone Controller (picture attached)

                                      Russound no longer supports it but were kind enough to provide a schematic of the power supply (pdf attached).

                                      The outputs marked 12v and 20v are all measuring only 1v.

                                      The board is clicking, which I think means it is in something called hiccup mode when the flyback transformers switches because of an internal problem or something else on the board Overloading it.

                                      The capacitors physically look clean (no bludgesor leaks) and...
