    PS5 power supply

    Take full and clear shots of both the top and bottom of the board, so we can see all of the components and solder joints clearly. That helps quite a bit. And as instructed by Martaine, what isn't happening now? Was it working before? Did something happen that you know about that made it stop...

    Computer PSU Repair

    Check that transistor on the bottom right section of the PCB in your second and lowest picture in your first post. It looks like there is a hole in the top of it.

    Inductor Question

    So I was also given an almost identical additional spa pump, this one had "Laing" as the brand and E-14 as the Model Number. The Laing PCB was almost the same as the other one with Goulds, however this PCB had different WIMA Caps in it. This one had two 1n0's, and one 2n2. The same Inductor...

    Inductor Question

    So I realize it has been a while, but I work on these things when I want to, not because I have to. In this case, I replaced the 151 Coupled Inductor after finding it with what appears to be an expansion crack/split on one side of it. And because of kellys_eye post above, about his suggestion...

    Triac Question

    All of the ones I have have not been de-soldered. Unless when they installed them, they left all of the legs the same size as a new one, but there is no evidence of any solder material on the legs. The odd thing about the pieces I sourced prior to this last time, is they all had good buyer...

    Triac Question

    I received the new Triacs today and tested them in the same tester as before. This time, the very same component number Triac (BTA08-600C), but sourced from a different vendor, tests out as a Triac. See the pic. The new one is on the left in the pic with the three I now have. My next step...

    Triac Question

    Yes. Thank you. I watched it the first time and heard him talking about testing a "thyristor" and the problems associated with testing one. Directly after that, in the video, he tests a Triac, and gets a proper reading on the tester, just like I did. After reading about Thyristors and...

    Removing Components for Testing versus On Board Testing

    Unfortunately, with electronics repair and troubleshooting, when compared to repairing plumbing issues, the similarities end quickly. In a plumbing repair, the problems are usually obvious upon visual inspection and typically determined without specialized test equipment. Electronics repair is...

    Removing Components for Testing versus On Board Testing

    Mr Young. I am a perfect example of what it sounds like you are trying to become, which may be just a little bit more versed in electronics component testing and electronics troubleshooting. Nothing "career-wise," but just curiosity at this point and possibly the feelings of accomplishment...

    Triac Question

    Thanks again for spending so much time on this. I had some other Triacs available to test with my tester. BT136 and BT134. Oddly, my tester had no problem identifying them as Triacs. See the pics. Unless the BTA08-600C is quite different in construction, that doesn't make sense. That is...

    Triac Question

    Thanks, Bertus, for the article. There are some "red flags" as shown in the article. Because of that, I have ordered another set of components from a different, and hopefully more reputable, place. I'll see how those test out when they get here.

    Triac Question

    Thanks for the reply. Yes. I have each of them in the same sockets during the testing. They have to be placed in the tester I have the way they are to get a reading. Any other socket placement gives me an "unknown or damaged part" on the display. You can see the three sockets I am using in...

    Triac Question

    Hi all. I have sourced a particular Triac (BTA800-600C) from two different places. When I put each of them separately into a Component Tester, I am getting two different readings. The components have the same component number markings on them and they both appear to be manufactured by the same...

    Help intex pool light.

    Take another picture of the other side of the board and post it for us. How old is the unit? Did it work before? What happened to alert you that it no longer worked with the switch. Looking at the component named "U3" with the 14 pins on it, the tab closest to the U, just below and to the...

    Inductor Question

    In the approximate middle of the PCB are three open pin connections. On the main part of the metal part of the pump housing, there are three pins that exit the back of the housing. Those pins come through the PCB when everything is put together and then the pins are soldered to the PCB. That...

    Inductor Question

    I think I may have found the Inductor I am looking for. What do you guys think? It is a "Coupled Inductor." https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/445/744870151-3095988.pdf It appears this one has a "W" before the 151 though. Mine doesn't. It is made by Wurth Electronics, so that just may be...
