SECTION 3 - AN OVERVIEW OF THE WORK REQUIRED
PICTURE 1 below displays the EIGHTEEN (18) components that should be replaced for continued longevity
of your PSU. I have shown a picture of the PSU with all affected parts removed and marked on the photo with
18 short RED lines so you can see visually where they all are. The values of the components listed on the right
of the picture are my recommended values for replacement, PLEASE STICK TO THESE VALUES. I have
provided part numbers and suppliers further down so you can order EXACTLY what you need.
The capacitors above relate to and filter the many power rails of the power supply. Sometimes these capacitors
are raised up and are swollen/split at the top or bottom, but this is NOT ALWAYS the case, and if yours are
not swollen, it definitely DOES NOT mean that your capacitors are therefore ok. Replace them all regardless.
PLEASE ALSO NOTE – IMPORTANT – This repair is a ONE SIZE FITS ALL repair, and covers ALL
components that I have encountered as faulty (bar one – rare). The components all relate to MANY different
faults and one day when I get time I will list which parts cause which symptom. In the meantime, replace them
all with my suggested values and brands below and you won’t have any further issues for a very long time to
come.
Additional to the replacement of these components, you will need to re-solder many of your PCB solder joints
as they will by now have started to crack and become “dry” so to speak. You will need to inspect the PCB and
look for poor solder joints with obvious cracking on them. There is ALWAYS at least 20 – 30 of them when I
do a repair. If you can’t find any then you are not looking hard enough. I will go into more on this later on.
