    Re: Delta DPS-800GB Power Supply No Power

    Maybe Delta underspec'd the parts required in that location... This is the first time I've heard about KZH and KZE not lasting...

      I will have a look and see what the voltage across those caps is tomorrow. you could be right.

        Fans need to be removed first. Then the power plug needs to be separated from the chassis. It is caulked in place -underneath- the socket. Joy. Xacto knife time. It then needs to be pulled out so its' wires can pass through the slot in the chassis while the main board is removed.

        It's a real bastard of a cap to get to because of the cramped conditions, and some super-fine wiring going to the daughter board. Trust me, you don't want to screw with them. (hair fine in TeflonĀ® insulation)

        This is a double-sided board, so lots of heat (air) plus the hot vacuum desolder tool.

        The heat sink that needs to come out has a finned spreader that spans several components and must be removed first. Then the heatsink complete with the bridge, thermistor, and switchers on it. Once you get the thing loose and out a bit, loosen the bridge screw a bit and and swing it aside to expose the screw holding the thermistor. Remove the screw & nut and detach the thermistor so it does not get damaged.

        Replace both caps that are in the heat-shrink tubing, next to the daughterboard. (You're there, do you -really- wanna go back later for 50Ā¢ worth of caps???)

        Reverse the above to reassemble.

                  Okay, I'm back on this project after a LONG recess. I have done every thing you mentioned down to removing the finned spreader. Neither one of the heatsinks will budge. Is there needed component desoldering that you did not mention?

                    IIRC - (It was 4 years ago...) The heatsinks have attachment points/legs that are soldered to/through the board. Did you unsolder those legs?

                    FWIW - $19 incl shipping on ebay with warranty. Nice to fix but... :P

                          I have this PSU but with a different problem. Standby works but main power does not start. With the PSU installed in a server (2nd PSU removed), power button lights orange. When pressed, power supply fault LED illuminates.

                          The two offending caps seem to have good ESR in circuit. Could they cause this problem?

                            The answer is no. Removed the heatsink (soldered on both ends, also Q804 and Q808 must be desoldered as they're screwed on) only to find that the two hidden caps are not crap. C820 is Nichicon, C904 is Rubycon.

                              I've also changed KN4401S (ZUA) transistor on control board as seen here:
                              https://www.rom.by/forum/Problema_s_...-800GB?page=16
                              (use Google Translate)

                              It tested bad (one PN joint open) before replacing. But replacing did not help. Server powered up for a moment, then shut down. Looking with cover open, saw that one fan does not spin!

                              Removed fans, connected to 12V - both worked fine. Connected back, tried again - server runs. The fans GND and 12V pins are connected in parallel on the control board - so it must be the fan, randomly not working.

                                If the PSU is controlled by a microcontroller, it might be sensing a fan failure and shutting down the PSU. Is the harness to the fan 4-wire (+12V, Return, PWM, and tachometer)? It may be that the fan is not receiving the PWM signal or is not providing a tachometer signal.

                                  Yes, most server PSUs have fan failure detection and will shutdown instead of overheating and catching fire. The fans are connected using 3 wires: 12V, GND and RPM sense (likely).

                                    You probably could search that (Delta?) fan model and learn the function of that third wire.

                                    Modern server PSUs are basically microcontroller (uC) controlled. At least some have a uC on the primary side controlling the PFC and reporting status data to the uC on the secondary side (which controls regulation and monitors for fault conditions). Because these uCs are programmed by the PSU manufacturer, replacing a uC cannot fix this sort of PSU unless one has a programmed part.

                                      Here is those 2 bad cap pins from bottom. no need to dissemble anything. One cap is easily visible from top and fairly easy to replace. other one (which goes bad more often) is harder to replace.
                                      I remove cap, put through some small wires through holes, solder those on new cap, and pull it through. New cap must be same or smaller, otherwise you wont able to remove, insert it.

                                        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...

                                        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...

                                        Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
                                        by sam_sam_sam
                                        I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

                                        I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...

                                        >>> Troubleshooting Delta Power MAX 500ATX ATX power supply
                                        by dragon3x
                                        Hi, this is for troubleshooting and, hopefully, repairing a Delta Power psu
                                        that is still quite new, as it worked OK for some months until it failed.
                                        At the time I was not into power supply electronics; it was put
                                        aside and a new power supply installed inside the computer. Also at the time
                                        power supplies were half the price of today's.

                                        On the PCB there are a D339 and 7500B chips.

                                        I have found that schematics with these 2 chips (see included file).
                                        Does it represent the actual circuit of the MAX-500ATX, I cannot tell.

                                        Some measurements,...

                                        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...
