    Is what I have compatible with this Delta DPS-250AB power supply?

    Hello all. This is my Delta DPS-250AB PSU. It does not work anymore, and I'm assuming the cause is dried-out secondary capacitors. Specifically, those dreaded CapXons. I have some recap stock I salvaged from a dead ECS 945GCT-M3:
    1, United Chemicon KZG 560 µF 6.3V, there's one of these
    2, Sanyo WG 2200 µF 10V, there's 3 of these that came from the VRM area
    3, more Sanyo WGs, these came from the PCIe area. There's 3 in total, they are 6.3V ones. I forgot the exact capacitance, and I don't want to dig them out right now.

    slow down.
    is the 5v standby dead?
    if it is then you need to check the fuse and any small caps on the primary side.

      The fuse is good, last time I checked it looked fine, but 5VSB could very well be dead. I don't know, because this PSU hasn't been powered in almost a year and I can't check. Next time I get a chance, I will.

        "Does not work" could mean a lot of things, but I assume you mean "Doesn't turn on"
        If it does not power up at all, you need to look deeper than just capacitors (probably).

        Start with checking if you have 5VSB rail and go from there.
        While bad capacitors on the 5VSB could mean the voltage is too low to start the rest of the supply up, it's far from the only possibility.

          Okay so I checked and the 5VSB rail is missing, I'm getting 0V when I probe the purple + black wires. I was doing some testing, the diodes are fine, but I could not for the life of me relocate that stupid fuse. So I couldn't check it. But, I did measure the voltage from the primaries and there was absolutely no charge in them whatsoever. So that either means bad 5VSB or a bad MOSFET somewhere, it could even be the fuse.

            If you have no voltage on the primary capacitors, you have an open circuit component on the mains input somewhere.
            Likely the fuse, but could also be the bridge rectifier. In rare circumstances the common-mode choke may fail open.
            Sometimes the NTC thermistor fails but again, not often.

            Can you take more photos showing the board and we can find where the fuse is. It will have one somewhere.

            If the fuse is blown you probably have shorted primary side components somewhere, yes.

              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.

              Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
              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...

              Please help me find 7 pin smd ic 901 part number in Delta DPS-300AB-76 LED Display Power Supply
              by Gentian
              I have a 5V 55A led Delta power supply with no output. I found this 7 pin IC 901 damaged as in the photo. All other elements look ok. I checked and every other surrounding componets diodes, resistors and capacitors look ok. I have 2 identical power supplies removed from a led wall which have the same defect with this ic burned but not a working one for reference. I founded by measurements that pin 7 goes to positive hot 450V 220uF electrolytic capacitor primary side. Pin 1, 2, 3, 4 connected together to pcb cooper trace. These four pins goes to negative side of 10uF 50V electrolytic capacitor...

              >>> Troubleshooting Delta Power MAX 500ATX ATX power supply
              by dragon3x
              Hi, this is for troubleshooting and, hopefully, repairing a Delta Power psu
              that is still quite new, as it worked OK for some months until it failed.
              At the time I was not into power supply electronics; it was put
              aside and a new power supply installed inside the computer. Also at the time
              power supplies were half the price of today's.

              On the PCB there are a D339 and 7500B chips.

              I have found that schematics with these 2 chips (see included file).
              Does it represent the actual circuit of the MAX-500ATX, I cannot tell.

              Some measurements,...
