    Large recall of power supplies in Slovakia

    http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/dyna/r....cfm?rx_id=205

    Brands included EuroCASE, Mercury, Trust, Colorsit and Allied (Deer).
    The capacitors (most likely beween Live and Neutral) and between Live and Earth, as well as between Neutral and Earth, are not safety approved .
    In two of them, there is apparently no mains discharge resistor .
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

      Thanks for the link: this is another good reason to avoid cheaply made psus, togheter with bad caps and electrical damages to your components.

      Have an happy life.

          lol what happened there? the president's pc broke or something?
          what i dont get is that these are basically advisories. so like whilst slovakia is doing something greece might not give a shit. it should instead lead to euro ban

              I'm surprised a lot of the shoddy PSUs I see get past UK safety standards! We even have special mechanisms on the mains sockets that won't let a plug go in unless there's an earth pin on the plug.

              How they managed to sell a PSU with the input filter bypassed and no PFC is anyone's guess. Perhaps I should sue the manufacturer
              You know there's something wrong when you open your PC and it has vented Rubycons...

                  easy: UK cost lot to buy a given hardware and that where shoddy stuff show up more frequently due to slightly cheaper cost.

                      Repair of Sign WiFi Smart Plug PCB: SA-P302A v1.2 due to bad caps - with schematic
                      by Per Hansson
                      I have repaired a Sign WiFi Smart Plug with model number: SNSM-WASINGLE sold by Spares Nordic AB in Sweden.
                      The fault condition was that the device gave no signs of life: pressing the push button did not cycle the internal relay and the blue LED did not come on and it was not seen on the WiFi network.
                      The fault was very simple, capacitor C3 on the PCB with writing "KSJ" and "LOWESR" had literally blown its top off, after replacing it the device works fine again!

                      As I find linear high voltage regulator designs interesting I drew up the attached schematic...

                      Vintage AT Power Supplies - Selecting Capacitors
                      by iMic
                      Hi,

                      Back after a long hiatus with some old power supplies that need repairing. I've recently picked up a couple of 386SX systems, two 486DX systems, a SiliconGraphics Indy and an iMac G3 that either have verified leaking capacitors in their power supplies, or are likely to in the near future. For the sake of simplicity, instead of tackling all at once, I'm starting with the 386's and one of the 486's.


                      The 386's power supplies are Seasonic SS4040A's, with caps that are visibly leaking, and 9 replacement caps per unit are required. Most appear to be from the Rubycon...

                      LM358 LM358S-13 Datasheet
                      by Document Archive
                      The LM358 LM358S-13 consists of two independent, high gain, internally frequency compensated operational amplifiers which were designed specifically to operate from a single power supply over a wide range of voltages. Operation from split power supplies is also possible and the low power supply current drain is independent of the magnitude of the power supply voltage.

                      Application areas include transducer amplifiers, dc gain blocks and all the conventional op amp circuits which now can be more easily implemented in single power supply systems. For example, the LM358 series can be directly...

                      HP Docking Stations Power Supplies...?
                      by SolomonMan
                      All,
                      I recently purchased for a colleague and myself two used HP Docking Stations. They are for home use and are exact model as the ones we use at work for our laptops. We are both Software Developers.

                      Anyways these docks are HP Model 5TW10UT#ABA.

                      Unfortunately they did not come with there Power supplies (PSU) and I got them reasonable from eBay.

                      I purchased 2 new from Amazon After Market Power Supplies(PSU). Same Voltage and Same Amperage and in fact it mentions on the Amazon page they are supported for these docks as well.

                      h...

                      Chasis bond to neutral to overcome oven tripping problem
                      by schnauzer2021
                      Hi,

                      I have a 6 years old Rowenta table top oven. The oven have both convection and grill function.
                      Last Christmas I used it to roast a turkey with the convection mode for about 4 hours without any problem. When I switched to grill mode to deep browning the turkey for the final half hour, the power trips after a while.

                      I have not been using the oven since then. Last week, when I try to use the oven again, both convection and grill mode trip the power supply a few minutes after turning it on.

                      As I was too busy with my work, I leave it to the repairman...
