To test I plug in a 12v source and try by plugging a multimeter on the output and turning on the blue trim potentiometer it's fix at 12v however I turn it up or down what could be wrong ?
Thank you to the guys at HEGE supporting Badcaps [ HEGE ] [ HEGE DEX Chart ]

Are you sure that you are turning the pot control for the voltage because one is voltage and the or one is current9 PC LCD Monitor

These two repairs where found with a ESR meter...> Temp at 50*F then at 90*F the ESR reading more than 10%

Re: brand new buck converter does not step up or down
Probably for best results because this is a buck converter not a boost converter which as adjustable the voltage control your voltage would go beyond the input voltage but on a buck converter it is the opposite in that you have to have some load on it for the voltage control to work but the current control also affects the voltage outputLast edited by sam_sam_sam; 08-30-2022, 07:54 PM.9 PC LCD Monitor

What happens when you put a load on the output dose it charge at all9 PC LCD Monitor

unless your output cap(s) have a discharge resistor you never power up without a load
