Repair notes

 

Full repair description and observations

 

1

The power supply was first analysed, since the fault is most probably there. The fuse was not blown and the 240V ac were present up to the rectifying IC.

 

 

2

No DC voltage was found along the main reservoir (82uF/1000V) Electrolytic capacitor

 

 

3

Following the track, the –ve side of the capacitor was a burnt resistor, about 2W from its size, and still visible the markings stated 2.2Ohms. This was of course found open.

 

 

4

Following further the track, the real problem was found: IC STRD 1816 (5 pin) was short circuit.

 

 

5

Both the IC and the resistor was replaced, and also replaced 2 other capacitors which I read that it may have casued the IC to blow. These were a 47uF/50V (C??) and a 2.2uF/450V (C9). I powered up and everything went smooth.
