Hi to all forum members,
Got this faulty 350 watt atx psu dirt cheap from a local online seller as i am keen to use it as a learning tool to repair faulty power supply.
The faulty part is quite obvious from the burn area near the 16pin KA7500 BD pwm. The fuse is still intact with good continuity.
Upon power on ac, there is 5vdc standby power on cathode of diode D14 and about 10vdc on cathode of diode D13.(This should be the aux power to generate the 12v and 5v rail.)
Initially i replace the two burned resistors near my marked red arrow to 200 ohm resistor since i can't see the resistor color clearly. After power on ac, smoke came out from the second resistor., at the same time i detected 12vdc from the yellow rail and 5vdc from the red rail. Quickly i shut off ac power to prevent further damage.
On tracing the second burned 200 ohm resistor, it is connected to transistor at Q6(in front of the middle transformer), positive side of a 47uf 100v cap, then to a 4k resistor before going to pin 8 of pwm. The other end of the burned resistor is connected to pin 12 vcc of pwm.
If any of you has a schematic of this similar 350 atx psu, kindly share and point out the value of the burned resistor so i can continue to repair this psu and probably revive it. Thanking in advance.
