    Heres a fun one. 630w dual bulb Ceramic Metal Halide Transformer

    Hey guys!! Im new here and found you just though lots of google searching.

    I found out this is a transformer but I was hoping someone here could give more information. I think its the part thats bad, the fixture is only lighting 1 lamp and youll see from the pictures there is some black on the glue.

    Speaking of glue... Any best practices for how to remove it?

          I attached your photo to the OP.
          It looks to me like a component near the transformer has exploded.
          Maybe that resistor but it is not really visible in your picture.

            I would also check that green component, it might be a mov that exploded. The transformer is likely ok.

              by Wolf1977
              hi in ceramic oven the transformer is damaged
              and writes
              2x115v/2x12v/6VA 50-60hz ta105/f
              can you suggest me a compatible transformer ;
              i have found in 70 degrees celsius do you think is suitable for ceramic oven ;

              TOSHIBA DLP 52HM95 How to reset timer module on bulb
              by repair-it
              I replaced the bulb only on my Toshiba DLP The bulb is a TB-25. This is the first time I've done a bulb only replacement. Supposedly there is a timer module that needs to be re-calibrated or reset. I don't know where the module is located. I see some vendors selling the bulb with the housing stating module included which leads me to think the module is located inside the enclosure the bulb mounts in, but I didn't see it. Maybe it's inside the plug attached to the bulb?

              Anyway - I am seeking information on how to reset this so called module so that the lamp will operate. Apparently...

              LUMIMAN Smart Bulb IC ID?
              by ezenia
              Hi,

              I have a LUMIMAN Smart Bulb that suddenly stopped lighting one day. The bulb is still detected in the app, but won't light. I've probed around and nothing seems to look off with any of the diodes, caps or resistors. The Bluetooth/Wi-Fi module seems to be working as it's still detected in the app. I even tried deleting and re-pairing the bulb (it didn't light, but I was still able to follow the pairing instructions), it re-paired fine, but still no light.

              In diode mode, the LEDs all light up when probed so I'm guessing this means the LEDs themselves are OK. I was expecting...

              Original Xbox 1.0 PSU: Foxlink FTPS-0002 Rev. B. — 12 V low, 5 V high — transformer?
              by ohren
              Hello!

              I'm looking at an original Xbox PSU: Foxlink ftps-0002 rev. B. The 12 V output is too low, and the 5 V output is too (?) high. Unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope but only a DMM for diagnosis.

              Measured voltages with no load:

              After rectifier diodes
              12V: 6.17 V
              5V: 5.67 V

              Secondary transformer pins AC measurement (really don't know if this says anything)
              12V: 2-2.5 V
              5V: 1.04 V


              I also have another (working) Xbox psu from Delta. The same measures there, in order, being: 10.79,...

              Is it possible for transformer substitution?
              by mikey5791
              Hi all,
              Got this local made DC power supply (12/14V) given free as the transformer has melted. There is no marking or indication to identify what type or rating of transformer used.
              Fyi,. I had a busted autogate mainboard with transformer with marking 13-0-13 . Is this the 13v dc type transformer?
              My questions are
              1. How do i test to see if the transformer is in good working condition?
              2. Can this transformer (marking 13-0-13) be used to replace the melted transformer on the DC power supply?
              Hope you guys understand what i was asking. My intention is...
