      Did you test that poly mains class x cap ?
      It got a kick when the diodes and fuse went.
      Is it interfering with the power to the small controller chip ?
      Thanks for the interesting, deep dives 😉

      @@jdarraghjd8859 I didn't John. I did check the start up capacitor on the SMPS controller (After the 2x 750K resistors) but I only did it in circuit with the capacitance meter, it's reading 9.9uF so it looks good. I will be revisiting this one and the two others I did not already look at in a part 3 after some parts arrive which is likely to be a few weeks so we will all find out more then 😁

    I am SO glad to see this video. I have been waiting for part 2, ever since part 1. I never thought you would post it in the middle of the night, but thanks. I really appreciate your videos, and am hoping you will tackle some bench power supplies. Keep up the good work.

      Haha It was published at 8:30am Sunday Morning here, just before I went to the car boot sale. I had to leave it overnight as TH-cam was still checking for restrictions. Actually I started uploaded the 24 hours video earlier on Saturday morning, which took a couple hours, but when I went bed about midnight it was still processing so I gave up waiting. Yeah I would like to get my hands on some faulty bench PSU to repair.

    Thanks Richard for parts 1 and 2, looking forward for part 3. I have watched many videos on SMPS , but yours is the one that gets down to earth (no pun intended) on repairing them. Not only good explanations but also practical demonstration too. My background was linear psu's and I was shy of starting hands on repair of SMPS, but now I feel much more confident in giving them a real go. Thanks again.

      Sometimes I fix stuff just for the satisfaction of it and expanding my own horizons. That's kinda how I got to here - keep on trying to fix some stuff and by doing so learn how to do it much quicker next time. 🙂 This is what I will say to anyone who wants to learn electronics repair - try to fix as much stuff as you can get your hands on, even if it costs more to fix than it is worth, and even if you can't fix it in the end, you can't put a price on the experience you gain in the attempt.

    These videos are gold. I have a laptop power supply that died, so opened it up and found the main fuse blown, along with the high voltage mosfet shorted and the sense resistor open. Replaced the components along with all electrolytic's but no joy, then went looking for shorts but found nothing. Its a toshiba power supply, the driver chip is unobtainable and with no simple way to test it, I put it aside until I could be motivated having another go tracking down the fault. Will definitely watch part 3 if you make it.

    Hi Rich
    following your videos and really enjoying them. I too am a fellow clayhead. from the posh end. ( sneyd green ) . i too played with electronics in the early 1970s. but lost interest but now i'm retired have started to take an interest again. learning all the things i should have learned back then. I would love to see you get those power supplies going with the new chips you ordered. and tackle the ones you ran out of time on. Loved the nostalgic bit about shorting your train transformer out with your BUGGERS . I think your explanations are very easy to understand you must have spent months in a classroom learning all this to give us a simple abridged version. My interest was rekindled by a fruit machine psu i volunteered to repair
    everything works except the 44 volt output for the lamps. on power up it works then after 10 seconds or so the voltage drops away slowly down to a couple of volts having watched and understood your psu videos i reckon it's probably the feedback circuit or the chip feed capacitor gone proper leaky once warmed up. i've yet to test it. but i feel confident now i can diagnose the problem. Would love to know where in the potteries you lived. I'm watching your component explanations too. Nice and easy to understand.
    Best Wishes

  • @d614gakadoug9
    @d614gakadoug9 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If you externally drive the output voltage above the normal regulation point you will drive the duty cycle of the converter to zero which means the output of the winding which powers the control circuit will produce no output. The circuit will then rely entirely on the start-up circuit. It will therefore try to start, fail, delay, try to start again and cycle forever in failure.
    It isn't really common but some controller ICs, especially those with an integrated switch, will shut down if they detect excessive voltage on the switch. This can happen if the network (R, D & C) that snubs the leakage inductance spike has failed. The resistor in these snubbers often runs quite hot and may fail.
    The fact that the circuit (#5 ?) worked when warmed very strongly suggests to me a flaky solder joint somewhere. There is a small chance that shift in the current transfer ratio of the optocoupler may be at play.

    Hi Richard, very interested to see your method of testing the feedback circuit. I'm gonna try this.
    I have seen another version online (from Haseeb Electronics) where he puts a diode across the primary side pins of the optocoupler, which allows him to test for issues with the feedback circuit.

  • @davesdigitaldomain
    @davesdigitaldomain ปีที่แล้ว +2

    hi Richard, enjoyed the video. I especially liked the idea of injecting 5v into the secondary side of the power supply to stabilise the feedback circuit.
    What do you think to this idea? Remove the Optocoupler and replace with a diode on the primary side then measure the voltage across the capacitor near the Octocoupler and if the voltage is not stable the fault is in the primary side, if it is stable the fault is in the secondary side, any components that are shorted on the secondary side will now begin to heat up because the primary side is fully on, then use your thermal imaging camera to find the shorter component in the secondary side.
    Hope you enjoy the concert with the Pet Shop Boys they make some really good songs, love them when I was a kid, but I was into the group madness and I think they're in their 70s now. time flies two fast.

      Thanks Rob, I found a few more descriptions giving page not found error on the patreon link- it seems like the error crept in somehow on one of the videos in the PSU playlist a little while ago. I generally use the TH-cam option to reuse the details from a previous video (in the same playlist category) and then edit the description to suit the new video, so I must have reproduced the same error. I think I found them all now. Cheers.

    The tube has its share of repair people who magically unsolder anything in one second top, and own 10 boutique irons that instantly melt any solder, specialized tips and all, never having any trouble thanks to the power of video editing.
    It's refreshing to see somebody doing real work, struggling to cut heatshrink open or fighting with a soldering blob. Repairing stuff is a rewarding but often painful, frustrating, long and tedious task.
    Your workbench somehow resembles mine. And things get disconnected, pieces wobble at just the worst moment, you never have enough fingers, the right tool is off or to the other side of the lab and you resort to undo screws with pliers and stuff :D That's my kind of workflow.
    Of course, your experience and knowledge are on a different level, and I'm learning a lot. Thank you!

    Very interesting. The procedure for finding faults brought me a lot for these switching power supplies. A little more editing or using time lapses (for the soldering and desoldering parts) would help reduce the length of your videos. 2:24 for this one! To check if the other viewers are more or less of my opinion. Keep up this exciting work!

    • @LearnElectronicsRepair

      I guess then some others would say 'but you don't show the desoldering and soldering techniques properly, and I'm trying to learn how to do it' 😉 I'm glad you liked it though, I think we can all agree there is very little 'filler' in the videos. I think putting chapters into the long tutorials is a good compromise, but then sometimes I deliberately don't do that and sometimes even say at the start 'spend the time to watch this through and you will learn some stuff, skip parts of it and you won't' LOL

    Noting that at 1:16:43 when you are measuring the from the mosfet gate to the chip, the resistor you are going across is a 000 ohm resistor/ jumper so shouldn't have been interfering with the reading on a continuity test. That would suggest perhaps that jumper has a higher resistance than it normally should?

    I have found that in some instances of an unstable output the main bulk cap would be bad. This and failed switching transistors seems to be the most common things in those cheap SMPS modules from China that you can buy off ebay as LED lighting power supplies. I can repair these things or better yet out of the box "upgrade" them with better transistors and caps, though I do have a youtube channel I am not good at presentation and explanation of what I am doing and why. I have a few videos on communications related electronics and some video gam related stuff but they are nothing to write home about.
    My thinking is maybe a video covering those SMPU modules that are rated over 10 amps and of 5 and 12 volts types since there are plenty of videos on 24 volt 10 amp versions out there. Reason I mention over 10 amps is because the actual design of the SMPU changes physically.

    Well in the first PSU you check the driver pin goes to the resistor and the other ebnd of the resistor goes to gate, but you did not notice that the resistor is zero ohm and meter didnt show that. It is possible that the first failure broke the 0 ohm resistor to the gate, the resistance drops down when parts are heated that can explain why it stabilizes () maybe even resistor on the gate drops the resistance when heated. Can you do follow up with check if chagne that 0 ohm resistor will not resolve the issue?

    Looking forward to part three.
    When the scope showed that the transformer wasn't powering up, what would you have concluded if it had been powering up?
    I have a USB charger that is pulsing 4V@1Hz on the output, so I'm wondering if the PWM is not getting its second source to VCC, and the startup circuit charges the capacitor enough to run for only a second.

  • @daveadams4973
    @daveadams4973 ปีที่แล้ว

    Richard, can you please explain a bit more about the +vcc supply to the PWM which comes from one of the secondaries of the switching transformer? As these voltages are galvanically isolated what reference voltage is being used to provide a potential difference to feed the chip? I assume hot ground but would like a refresher on how it works, my electronics theory is very rusty (I stopped working as an electronics engineer in 1992! Love the videos BTW. Thanks, Dave

    • @LearnElectronicsRepair
      @LearnElectronicsRepair  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Technically speaking the secondary that provides the Vcc to the PWM chip is galvanically isolated from the primary but one end of the winding is then connected to hot ground so that effectively defeats the isolation.
      As the PWM chip is on the hot side of the PSU the Vcc supply does not require isolation, but it does need to be referenced to hot ground, same as the PWM chip itself is.
      One may think you could use a tap on the primary winding, like an auto-transformer to supply Vcc, but this is not the case as neither end of the primary connect to hot ground. So we are not really using the secondary to take advantage of the galvanic isolation, we are doing it that way so we can efficiently create a low voltage (usually 15V) Vcc supply AND reference it to (hot) ground. Usually there is no regulation on Vcc (apart from that provided 'second hand' by the regulation of the output voltage) but sometimes there is a zener diode from Vcc to ground as I mentioned in the video.

    That water wheel analogy is just bizarre, especially that weird bypass circuit. It completely fails to illustrate the most fundamental operation of a flyback converter. The energy stored by the flywheel effect is, when the valve is closed, delivered to something totally lacking in the diagram - the output circuit.
    When the switch turns off the vast majority of the energy stored in the inductor (so-called "transformer") is delivered to the secondary circuit. Ampere-turns are conserved. If the charge winding ('primary") has 100 turns and a peak current of 1 ampere at the instant the switch turns off and discharge winding ("secondary") has 10 turns, its current at the instant the switch turns off will be 10 amperes. That current ramps down linearly with time, all the way to zero in most flyback converter designs ("discontinuous current mode") though not in all designs. If it _does_ go to zero, the current in the charge winding and FET starts at zero and ramps up linearly with time. The diode in the output circuit prevents any current from flowing simultaneously in the charge and discharge windings.
    The purpose of the snubber is to discharge "leakage inductance." Leakage inductance is modeled as a small inductance in series with the primary winding . It has no magnetic coupling to anything but itself. It is the result of imperfect magnetic coupling between the charge and discharge windings. A little bit of energy is stored in the leakage inductance when the switch is on but it can't put that energy into the discharge/secondary circuit. The leakage inductance causes a very narrow but high voltage spike as the switch (FET) turns off. The spike energy is dumped into the snubber capacitor via the diode. The resistors then discharge the cap in preparation for the next cycle. The diode is usually an ultrafast recovery type, though if the circuit is done carefully an ordinary diode can be used and the reverse recovery energy actually helps to discharge the capacitor when the switch turns on, reducing the amount of energy that has to be dissipated by the resistors across the cap. In fact with discrete FETs the avalanche energy rating of the intrinsic body diode may be adequate to handle the energy from the leakage inductance. The capacitor value is fairly critical.

      Nahh it will just stop the resistor from blowing again LOL. It's not like it is supposed to be a fuse and a lot of current can't really flow that way due to the 3x 180K resistors in parallel. Actually I'm a bit surprised the 0R went open at all - or the blown up track. Looks like some sort of liquid got into the PSU if you ask me, but there is nothing around there for liquid to short to
