Tricky one, nicely tracked down!! Funny that it turned out to be the FB resistors after I thought I saw what looked like a pinhole (probably wasn’t) in the middle one @28:40 Very educational repair, THANK you for sharing these!
@ToltecMerc Жыл бұрын
I'm pretty sure that's a solder ball. I think these resistors just age over time when exposed to heat and high voltage.

Intermittent faults are really hard to find the cause. these feedback loop resistors usually change because of the glue that over time creates resistance and changes the value of the resistors, I already got some that just cleaning the glue solved the defect..

Hi i was trying to fix an adp-300fr today which was roach damaged.I replaced the fuse and the 40N60M2 that was blown also the 1612A3 but i cant get the volts on the caps to go to 395V like it should when i try to turn the 12V on. I checked the line from pin 8 of the 1612A3 but there is nothing damaged there. . I dont know what else to do :( Your videos are amazing pls keep making them i really appreciate all the work you put into them. Thank you!
@ToltecMerc Жыл бұрын
You may have to find another supply to compare to. You can see if your high voltage is trying to go up briefly and shutting back down. There are some large value resistors in the feedback circuit that can be damaged. They will cause this issue.
@nikeshgupta8362 Жыл бұрын
@@ToltecMerc Hi thanks for replying I checked the resistors which were in M ohms on the feedback but they seem to be ok even replaced them but no change . They goto 2 transistors Q1 and Q2 going to replace thoes n see . The voltage does go up to 325v from about 310v then it shuts it self off . I replaced thoes 2 transistors but still the same the volts won't goto 395v any suggestions on how to test the pfc circuit ?

Thanks for sharing! Very ineresting and helpful! I've the same problem on my psu ADP-240CR (I've found a bug that have shorted mosfet FB13), checked the resistor with multimeter they measure 2.42MOhm that seems a little bit low because they should be 2.7MOhm, should I try to replace them? which wattage and tolerance should I buy?
@ToltecMerc Жыл бұрын
It is very difficult to measure high value resistance in circuit because of parallel resistances and voltage remaining on capacitors. Desolder the resistor and test again. I find it easiest to heat the resistor and just spin it around so it is only making contact on one end but is still held in place. Also, you might clean any flux off of it before measuring.

I just found your channel, and I'm hooked. Thank you for all of the great explanations that you do. I have a long way to go, but I love to learn. Where would you suggest I start? I have almost all of the tools needed, and I can solder. I just need to understand how it all works together like you do, although it seems like you probably did something like this for a living. It's clear you didn't just hook up a multimeter and expect to immediately find a problem. You understand how it works better than any other KZfaqr I've seen.

Thanks for the kind words. I have been working with electronics for about 40 years but only recently started working on consoles. I’m having a lot of fun. I would recommend buying something broken and start trying. You can learn a lot watching others so it is a good idea to pick something somewhat common that others also work on. You really have to learn by doing. You will pick up knowledge along the way. I don’t recommend starting with power supplies because of the dangers. Good luck!!

@@ToltecMerc I have one suggestion/idea for youtube videos. Im not quite sure how its done, but I hope you will understand. You know that on video timeline, there is a possibility to show like segments, chapters. So on mouseover, people can see where which segment of video starts. I think it would be good overview, if we had something like that in those videos, for example 00:00 - 7:00 Visual Inspection, 7:00 - 9:00 IC1 , 9:00 - 13:00 IC2 and so on... then mark "Resistor solution" at the end. I know its one more step in editing on youtube but I believe it will be worth for viewer. He comes to this video and see, oh there is segment for this IC2 i wanted to check, I wanna see how he did it. And then he watch it. Othervise, he will just skip 42min video not knowing that info is there.
