A simple loose AC adapter repair for all ages. Concept can be applied to any power brick that has a loose wire at the strain relief around the wall plug. Spanner #10 Insert Bits: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07...
I bought a Super Famicom from Japan and plugged the supply in today... i live in europe... thank god for surge protection! But yeah the brick was humming for a while and then a fat spark indicated demise for this guy. Thanks to your video i was able to make out what part exactly vaporized in that moment. Im confident that i can repair it so it will bring joy for years to come.
thanks for uploading this, I've been replacing the capacitor's on my consoles (Master System and Genesis so far) and never cross my mind on the power supply, opened up my Genesis psu and yep been leaking really bad, works with no issues but don't feel safe using it anymore till i change the cap and clean the board so looking at triad psu till the repair happens
Good video, but make sure when putting metal screws into plastic threads to turn the screw counter-clockwise until it clicks into place, and then right after start turning clockwise. Not doing that can ruin the plastic threading. Also if your video titles were a little more specific; I think you would get more views in the long run from people trying to fix their stuff. That reminds me; I need to fix my SNES power supply that has this same problem.
My 32 year old OEM ("OG") power supply puts out 13.6 (repeat) volts when not in use (measured at the barrel plugged in). I assume a bit less than that when in use. How do I know if it's overworking (overwhelming) the transistor (mounted to a heat sink/anti-interference plate) that helps step the voltage down? That plate gets very warm (it won't burn me unless I hold my finger on it a long time which I'm not going to do). Does this mean my power supply needs fixing (or replacement)?
I think the power adapter is rated at 18 volts. I'm not in a place where any of my things are accessible for a while. A higher voltage is normal as is the regulator getting hot. The middle pin on the reguator is ground. The one on the left is input and the right output. If you use a multimeter on DC with one probe on the ground and one on the output you should get around 5V. THe input can vary but will likely be between 12-18V.
Is there a specific key or tip that I can buy to open this font? I need dimensions of the tip or ideal key for this task, I don't have and I don't know how to cut the tip for this I wanted to buy one made in a store here in my city
