    It could be a forklift battery charger would be a good guess

    But very old model is my guess

    I would test each module by it self just make sure pay attention to how it is hook each other

    I would expect that to start the charging cycle you probably have at least a minimum of 8 to 10 for it to start charging would be my guess

      not a forklift, the cells are in series - 48v or higher.
      it could be an early solid-state charger for garages though.

        It might be from a audio display system used in stores.

          Naw... doesn't have big enough filter caps. Looks like it used to run a lot and someone knew how to fix it (a lot). The screw holes are worn, extra grounding lug...

          My guess, a commercial PSU, ran something in some sort of an transmitter site. Second thought: An shore charger for the battery bank on a boat?

            Any printing on the circuit boards at all?

              I think I saw a 1989 date code on that silver-colored 85C 1000uF made by El Cap.

                  Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
                  by sam_sam_sam
                  I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

                  One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

                  Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                  by Tynan Dill
                  I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                  Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                  I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                  The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                  With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                  Assuming...

                  by howardc64
                  Problem

                  This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                  Russound CA4 Power Supply Repair
                  by CMCM
                  Hello Everybody,

                  Trying to repair a power supply from a Russound CA4 Multizone Controller (picture attached)

                  Russound no longer supports it but were kind enough to provide a schematic of the power supply (pdf attached).

                  The outputs marked 12v and 20v are all measuring only 1v.

                  The board is clicking, which I think means it is in something called hiccup mode when the flyback transformers switches because of an internal problem or something else on the board Overloading it.

                  The capacitors physically look clean (no bludgesor leaks) and...

                  Definitive technology SC 2000 subwoofer amp's power supply clicking and popping
                  by JimBanville
                  The sub developed a constant popping every couple seconds from woofer and power LED flickering with nothing but wall AC connected. Connecting an audio cable didn't change anything. It doesn't play but a second or two of audio in between the pops.
                  Opened it up and discovered the power supply is making a faint clicking or ticking sound.
                  I measured the amp's output to the woofer and it pulses up to 50mv DC to be driver. The pulses coincide with the power supply ticking/clicking.
                  I measured the power supply output going to the amp board and it too has this pulsing. Voltage cycles...
