Re: Antec AR300 psu, loud squeal, no power
I finally got the PS powered on and measured ZD3, it did measure 10V. So my earlier post was incorrect in this regard.
Thank you to the guys at HEGE supporting Badcaps [ HEGE ] [ HEGE DEX Chart ]

Re: Antec AR300 psu, loud squeal, no power
Mo, Some thoughts on your schematic. R34 is R34; 4.99K. C19 measures 100nF. The unmarked diode is a Schottky SB540, D10. L2 measures 5.1uH. To me it looks like ZD3 does not connect to ground but to where R25/EC3 connect to the transformer. It measures 2.9V (not sure of this yet).

Mo, great schematic and accompanying notes. And just from the pictures. Jon

Re: Antec AR300 psu, loud squeal, no power
Mo, here is the way I read the components requested:
R22 red, black, green...gold: 2M 5%
R23 green, blue, orange...gold: 56K 5%
D7 LT 5323/UF1007
C16 TL/222M/1KV: 2.2nF
Q5 KN/2222A/438
Q6 UTC/2SA684/RJ0A
R28 violet, green, silver...gold: 0.75 5%
C17 J525/222/XCK: 2.2nF
TO-222 FB F02/FQPF/5N60C
if these don't make sense or you want something else, please let me know, Jon

Re: Antec AR300 psu, loud squeal, no power
hi,
I have attached my shot (hold the laughter please) at a schematic fragment and my spreadsheet of relevant parts. (The transistors attached to the heatsink are hard to see; I'll work on it and the other parts for identification.)
thanks, Jon...

Re: Antec AR300 psu, loud squeal, no power
It appears that ZD3 is trashed. However, I have no idea what it's value is either. Maybe this is a hopeless idea to make it whole again?

Re: Antec AR300 psu, loud squeal, no power
hi,
Took a couple of photos. Not sure what you were looking for so ask away.
The two missing diodes are: D9 FR103, D8 1N4004. Some other components have not been replaced yet. Most of the ECnn have been replaced.
Jon...

Re: Antec AR300 psu, loud squeal, no power
Hi momaka, thanks for all of the help/information. I would like to answer your questions with some confidence; so I am looking at the pcb and trying to see exactly how c18 fits into the picture. I will get back when that work is done. Jon

Re: Antec AR300 psu, loud squeal, no power
Here we are a few years later and AR300 power supplies still need help. I am rebuilding one and need help in identifying the value of SMD capacitor C18. The cap is open and since they are "unmarked", well I am stuck. I am hoping someone still has a working supply that they can measure C18's value. I know it is somewhat of a big ask; and I wouldn't if I could find another way to get the value. Jon
