Title: Dead power supplies.. Can they be fixed? 3Y power supply CP-9826 Post by: Harvs on October 04, 2013, 08:06:26 PM I have read a few posts about easy fixes on power supplies but unsure what part needs to be changed. I have had 4 power supplies go in the past few weeks. Different machines, work one day, dead the next. They are all 3Y Power Technology supplies, CP-9826's. (Pic)
These machines were stored for a while, I can see 1 or 2 taking a sh!t, but this is out of control. Any help is appreciated. Harvs Title: Re: Dead power supplies..

If the tops of the caps aren't nice and flat and smooth they are probably bad or headed that way. Not the same for the big one on the left as it has a plastic cover on it, but I would be surprised if it was bad

Buzz- I shall check out that thread. Thanks Title: Re: Dead power supplies..

*Found it! I will post my findings, or the news will. Thanks Buzz! :200- Title: Re: Dead power supplies.. Can they be fixed? 3Y power supply CP-9826 Post by: Harvs on October 08, 2013, 12:21:13 AM Well, after reading posts about fixing these power supplies I found an easy way for me to fix the prob.. I bought a few spares. -I have a few that I think are broke if anyone wants them.
Thanks for the advice though guys. Unfortunately I turn to all thumbs when attempting to fix probs like this. Harvs :133- |
