    Help diagnosing PWO1025 SMPS

    Wondering if anyone can offer some insight into solving the problem with this SMPS.

    Model is - PWO1025

    Manufacturer - Power-Win Technology Corp.

    So, it was working unit I accidentally shorted one voltage rail to ground while troubleshooting one of the logic boards power by this PS.

    I replaced a blown fuse and a fried bi-polar transistor and now I have 33VDC, 12VDC but 5VDC and 3,3VDC are missing.

    A schematic would be nice, but the manufacturer doesn´t make them available - I asked.

    Anyone know what I could check, I really don´t want to reverse engineer the thing.

    FYI - Some components have been removed in the last picture, that's not the source of the problem

    Thanks

    Re: Help diagnosing SMPS

    Is the 5v and 3.3 v supplied by the same transformer as the 33v and 12v? Sometimes there are low value resistors between the transformer and the supply diode, it may be open.
    You could provide a high quality, in focus picture of the trace side of the power supply and we may be able to trace the problem

      Re: Help diagnosing SMPS

      do those voltages get switched by the blue relay?

        Thanks for the reply guys.
        I´ve uploaded some more pictures.

        R J - I traced the 5V supply from the end of the board all the way to the IC circled in blue. Seems like that's where it comes from. As for the 3.3VDC, I have no idea - it isn't even labeled on the board´s output pins.

        stj - I haven´t followed the circuit leading up to or from the blue relay.

        Keep´em coming

          The 12v is not supplied by this board, P160 connects to P164 only. What makes you think there is a 3.3 volts on this board?
          The +5 volts is derived from the voltage (10~40v) which will be on the 3 amp fuse, U2 is the 5 volt controller which drives the base of Q2, (10~40v) is supplied to the emitter and the +5volts will be on the collector, which finds its way through the coil L9, through R52/R59 through L13? to the plug. The +5v is monitored (via pin1 of u2) and may not be there unless there is a load on the 5 volt line.
          I replaced a blown fuse and a fried bi-polar transistor
          Which transistor was blown? and was it shorted ? if it was Q2 that was blown, U2 may also be damaged.

            Re: Help diagnosing PWO1025 SMPS

            Hmm, not sure. The board powers a Bernina embroidery machine. On this board there are only two cables connected, one on pins 164 and the other on the yellow pins labeled with 33v, GND, and 5v.
            Prior to my bad luck of shorting 5V to GND, I had all four voltages on a second control board powered from this PS, connected via de aforementioned two cables.

            I´m starting to think that the 3.3VDC come from the control board powered from this board.

            I have 33VDC and 12VDC from this board, if I can only figure out what's faulty with the 5VDC rail I think the 3.3VDC will also be resolved.

              Re: Help diagnosing PWO1025 SMPS

              There is a diode near C35 and the yellow plug, this could be a zener diode and may be shorted or damaged killing the 5 volts.

                Re: Help diagnosing PWO1025 SMPS

                I actually measured that zener in place and reads shorted on the multi meter in diode mode, however it was in place.
                If I get a moment today I´ll remove it and check.

                I will revert back ASAP.

                  Sorry, I didn´t see this reply.
                  Yes, the bi-polar transistor Q2 and the fuse directly above it were blown. Once I replaced the fuse and transistor I got 33 and 12VDC connected to load.
                  I did follow the 5v rail and found my way to U2 and to the bi-polar Q2 and you are right on what you say regarding the circuitry.
                  I suspect U2 may be damaged.

                  Once I check the zener, I may just order another U2 and replace it..

                    Re: Help diagnosing PWO1025 SMPS

                    Ok, checked the zener, reading is 0v on both forward and reverse bias.
                    Monday I´ll swap it with a new one and go from there.
                    Thanks for the help!!

                      I take it you are using diode test (0v) then it is indeed shorted, remove it and check it's resistance out of circuit to be sure it is the diode that is shorted and not something else on the 5v line.

                        Yes, diode test. The reading of 0v is with the zener removed from the circuit.
                        Resistance value is around 1 ohm both ways, forward\reverse.
                        Tomorrow I´ll swap it and see.

                          If the protection zener is shorted, that would definitely kill the 5 volt supply. hopefully that is all that is left that is wrong.

                              Swapped the zener and now all four voltages are present.

                                    This relic from a technology path that came to a dead end (but still has historical interest) was brought in with a dead SMPS, which is based around a MK1210 device. I got it going after a battle. It seems to have a strange design - if it's not getting feedback that the secondary is OK it cause the big FET to go into full conduction and overloads resulting in a blown fuse at best or something worse! I'm using a Dim Bulb Tester (70W/230V) which thankfully has saved the day a number of times whilst repairing.

                                    I'm troubleshooting a PA speaker Mackie Th15 (schematics attached).
                                    It is basically a smps with amp and some dsp.
                                    The issue is that on the secondary side I read +/- ~23V instead of the expected +/- 38V. Indeed all secondary side and feedback/aux rails are like 1/2-3/5 of the expected values.
                                    Q2, Q3, C35, C40, C33, C36, C41 and C42 were tested out of circuit with a component tester and read fine. Most of the other components on the primary were tested in circuit and seem to be fine. +HV to -HV on primary is ~330V.

                                    Hi everyone,

                                    There actually was a time when early SMPS and late bakelite housed electrolytic caps coexisted in high end industrial gear. A friend of mine just got himself a CNC milling machine form that time with its first set of now 41 year old caps still installed in the PSU... and it's malfunctioning.

                                    Two of the caps have already leaked slightly onto the board. I have not desoldered or measured any so far but they should qualify for replacement.

                                    Now I'm wondering what to put in there as a replacement. First idea was state of the art low-ESR Nippon KY,...

                                    I've had a friend discard a TH-65DX700Z Pansonic Viera Television and I've decided to have a go at repairing it. If possible could I please get some advice in terms of diagnosing the problem so I can purchase the appropriate parts for repair whether it be components, a repair kit or a replacement board. I am happy to post pictures if required.

                                    The television turns on and displays a picture then makes a clicking sound and turns off.

                                    I haven't opened it up yet but...
