    Thermistor Replacement Substitute

    I have a Thermistor im looking to replace labeled SCK 0512 - looking up it says 5 ohm 12 A in a PSU.

    Is it possible to replace it with a different value? If so what's the general rule to do it?

    5 Ohms will limit the maximum inrush current to 24A (if line voltage is 120V and load is 0 Ohms at start up). Is it used for feeding the bridge?

      This is from a bn44-00222a PSU. There are two thermistors next to the failed relay. I don't have any replacements for it at the moment, but I do have SCK-206 (20 ohms 6A) but I'm not exactly sure how thermistors work.

        The thermistors should be bypassed as soon as the set begins operating, so the rating is more to prevent their failure rather than for the power supply to operate properly.

          I see, so choosing a higher ohm rated thermistor will further decrease the max current that can come through if there were to be a surge?

            It would have no effect on a power surge.

              So the relays failed to come on or the relays are not being turn on?

                One of the relays failed completely, (It was completely melted and burnt). I already replaced it though

                  You may use one 5W 0,22 Ohm for a quick test, if it works then buy the thermistor.

                    Unknown transformer : how to find a good replacement part ?
                    by the_rem
                    Hello guys,

                    I would like a quite old but still good 800 W ATX PSU to be repaired. The problem was an extremely heavy coil whine coming from the small secondary transfomer on the PCB.

                    I desoldered it hoping the references on the upper side would allow me to find a adequate replacement part. Sadly the written references drove me nowhere but to the manufacturer (I-MAG). I sent them a message like a bottle in the see asking them to send me a datasheet of the transformer. And... They responded ! I received a kind of datasheet (see attachment) but my competencies do not allow...

                    PS4 controller left stick potentiometer replacement issue
                    by ezenia
                    Hello,

                    Not sure if this is the correct section, but I have a PS4 controller that I am trying to fix. It developed stick drift on the left stick and the usual simpler methods did not fix the problem.

                    So I went on eBay and ordered some replacement potentiometers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174967976757 is where I got them from.

                    I took the green potentiometers off the replacement sticks and soldered them onto the PCB. Assembled the controller and ran some tests. The drifting was somewhat fixed (not fully in center, but way better than before). However,...

                    by boosti45
                    i have a 2020 macbook pro 13" A2251 with 820-09149 logic board so i found an issue with chip labeled U6903 according to schem. boardview using flexBV software, so i removed it from the board and the issue im having is that the chip says "07A08FI ELC180​" on top of it but when searching for a replacement chip, i can find tons of identical looking chips that also have "ELC180" printed on them but the first set of digits is never the same so im trying to find out if i need this exact chip with these same numbers as mine and if not which ones are compatible as a replacement?...

                    Hello guys, this autoclave running with 2 thermistors already connected TH1 and TH3(on CN1,CN2 sockets). One for the water temperture and second one for chamber temperature. But there is another emtpy socket for optional third thermistor CN2 wich is for TH2 for object temperature. I wanna add the third thermistor TH2 to CN2 socket. But i can't figure what model/brand/value i need to use. In manual document, there is no info about TH1 and TH3 model number...

                    klipsch kda-500 amplifier suitable power supply capacitor replacement ?
                    by r2digital
                    I have a klipsch kda-500 that would turn on and allow me to get into the web management but it was picking up a lot of noise from audio sources so i decided to replace the smd caps on the power supply along with radial one. Some one was in here before me and they basically burned the bottom side of the traces off for the radial cap but i was able to repair it without any real problem. I thought i did a good job sourcing out replacement caps but apparently not and now i can't get the power supply to turn on it just constantly try's to keep turning on. Attached is a picture of the power supply before...
