      PU-81 manual says fuse is a T500mA (230V) or T1.0A (120V); I believe the "T" means time-delay to tolerate transformer inrush.

        But then what happens to the problem? Fuse will not cause that symptom.

          I think the problem is when i was cinnecting dimm bulb it will cause some voltage drop and sensor cannot work propper

            TOSHIBA DLP 52HM95 How to reset timer module on bulb
            by repair-it
            I replaced the bulb only on my Toshiba DLP The bulb is a TB-25. This is the first time I've done a bulb only replacement. Supposedly there is a timer module that needs to be re-calibrated or reset. I don't know where the module is located. I see some vendors selling the bulb with the housing stating module included which leads me to think the module is located inside the enclosure the bulb mounts in, but I didn't see it. Maybe it's inside the plug attached to the bulb?

            Anyway - I am seeking information on how to reset this so called module so that the lamp will operate. Apparently...

            LUMIMAN Smart Bulb IC ID?
            by ezenia
            Hi,

            I have a LUMIMAN Smart Bulb that suddenly stopped lighting one day. The bulb is still detected in the app, but won't light. I've probed around and nothing seems to look off with any of the diodes, caps or resistors. The Bluetooth/Wi-Fi module seems to be working as it's still detected in the app. I even tried deleting and re-pairing the bulb (it didn't light, but I was still able to follow the pairing instructions), it re-paired fine, but still no light.

            In diode mode, the LEDs all light up when probed so I'm guessing this means the LEDs themselves are OK. I was expecting...

            Tektronix 422 with No Power
            by KYBOSH
            Picked up a Tektronix type 422 oscilloscope locally for a few bucks last year.
            It wouldnt power on at all so I stowed it away under my bench for later testing.
            Today I remembered it was down there and pulled it out to see what was what.

            I checked for continuity and everything checked out.
            There was a burned smell and a resistor was replaced with a temporary replacement (see yellow box in picture).
            The burned smell is very pungent/acidic and I am not familiar with these vintage electronics to know whether I am smelling the remains of the replaced resistor or...

            Is it possible for transformer substitution?
            by mikey5791
            Hi all,
            Got this local made DC power supply (12/14V) given free as the transformer has melted. There is no marking or indication to identify what type or rating of transformer used.
            Fyi,. I had a busted autogate mainboard with transformer with marking 13-0-13 . Is this the 13v dc type transformer?
            My questions are
            1. How do i test to see if the transformer is in good working condition?
            2. Can this transformer (marking 13-0-13) be used to replace the melted transformer on the DC power supply?
            Hope you guys understand what i was asking. My intention is...

            Original Xbox 1.0 PSU: Foxlink FTPS-0002 Rev. B. — 12 V low, 5 V high — transformer?
            by ohren
            Hello!

            I'm looking at an original Xbox PSU: Foxlink ftps-0002 rev. B. The 12 V output is too low, and the 5 V output is too (?) high. Unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope but only a DMM for diagnosis.

            Measured voltages with no load:

            After rectifier diodes
            12V: 6.17 V
            5V: 5.67 V

            Secondary transformer pins AC measurement (really don't know if this says anything)
            12V: 2-2.5 V
            5V: 1.04 V


            I also have another (working) Xbox psu from Delta. The same measures there, in order, being: 10.79,...
