Re: AC / DC ADAPTER upgrade?
Start with checking the rating of those MOSFETs that have heatsinks. Then check the transformer rating. Check the DIODEs for their ratings as well. Those are the man components of concern. I am...

Re: SMPS Resistor confirmation
I did not put a screw since it would likely short :( I will check Q602 - do you think i can get by with R611 as 1 Ohm? I def. do not have any SUB-ohm on hand.

Re: SMPS Resistor confirmation
For the primary rectifier diodes I used what I had on hand. 1N4007 the originals are 1N539BL. The zener was 1ZB36BL. What looks like electrical tape is thermal padding I had for a big SCR since...

Re: SMPS Resistor confirmation
My next step after fixing the resistor was going to be pull the transformer (on the output side of the MOSFET) and see if does not blow the fuse.

SMPS Resistor confirmation
I have not done too much SMPS repair. The resistor in this pic looks like a 0.68 Ohm 5% value correct? It is OPEN. The zener across it is a 36V that was shorted. When did they start making SILVER...
