Dear members,
I have a linear variable power supply with unknown brand name that I used for voltage injection.
Then it failed. I discovered that its transistors (Q1 and Q2) are shorted.
In addition, I discovered that its zener diodes are defective.
I can replace the burned transistors.
But I do not know the model of the zener diodes. the model number is not marked on the zener diodes.
Therefore, I cannot replace the zener diodes.
I do not want to test the zener diodes in a test circuit to discover their model or value.
no schematics are available for this power supply.
Does this power supply worth repairing when I do not know the model/value of the zener diodes?
Does the power supply fail soon if I replace the transistors but do not replace the zener diodes?
If I must replace the zener diodes, what model/value of zener diode do you recommend for replacing all the zener diodes on the board?
Can they all be replaced by just one model/value of zener diode?
Thanks
