    PA-6601-1A Power Supply schematic

    While working on my Apple G5 recently, something suddenly "blew" and immediately shut down. It was a loud pop and then I got a whiff of fried electronics. I suspected the power supply so I removed it from the machine and want to simply test that it power up or not. I'm not sure how to trigger the power on or where the location is on the board that I can jump to power up.

    Anyone have an idea where/how I might achieve this? I'm just simply trying to decipher if I have a good or dead power supply to eliminate this from the dead Mac equation. Does anyone have a schematic for this power supply by chance?

    Any help would be extremely appreciated.

    Thnx

          I find I can't always smell damage.
          Also, I'd just pop the top off and have a look inside, I suspect it's highly related to this thread: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...5&highlight=g5

              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...

              Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
              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...

              Sick of seeing big numbers of these routers dead no power light underneath.....
              Chasing Schematic of this power supply I have searched high and low....
              Already spotted a few swollen caps, but Ac fuse ok.....
              This is a dual output 50Vdc 2.5A and 12Vdc 1.25A psu

              Can anyone help with any type of schematic and parts list ?

              Thanks and Regards, Russ
