  • My bench power supply blew up with a loud "POP". Its time to try and fix it.
    This power supply came from my first desktop pc which I purchased from my primary school as a child, before I later converted it into a bench power supply for powering and testing electronics. So it has had over 16 years of use, so lets try and make it last another 16...

    You don't need to wait for a whole week for the capacitor to discharge like crt monitors, 15 or 20 minutes is ideal for that. In almost every power supply there is a bleeder resistor hooking parallel with the main cap for safety dischare the remain energy in the capacitor.

    • @MrMega200
      @MrMega200 2 роки тому

      No this wouldn't cause an issue. Most power supplies are made to stand up to 85 degrees C. In this case the capacitors are rated at least 105C for typically 2000 hours use before that part's life is spent. His little bench supply use is much less strain than what it was originally made to do.

Now my phone turns on and off all the time every 3 minutes.

    One of the PSU chips exploded while trying to troubleshoot why the scrapped office computer I got wouldn't turn on.

    What's strange that he made this power supply when he was 12, and I'm now making an adjustable power supply with current limiting function.
    Also I have maximum experience with electronics, and I already repaired 5 electronic devices. And I'm 13!
    Soon I'll try to fix my old Dell flat screen display, it has a weird reddish tinge, and it shuts down after ~ 2 minutes.

      probably moved the voltage switch from 230v too 110v and thus it went bang

    With that crappy of a PSU, you are much better off buying a new one.
    You can get good ones (which are soooooo much better than that fire hazard in-a-box) for $40.
