switch mode psu trips out
I have a 3.6A Acbel psu that powers a tft monitor drawing 2A.
The psu trips out when the load is applied, if I disconnect it from the mains and try again a few times it will usually come on and stay on all day. I guess the over current protector is faulty. Is there a simple way to repair it or disable the over current protection, or should I buy a new PSU? Thanks Tom -- apax63 'at' dsl 'dot' pipex 'dot' com |

Tom:
If you can't... or don't want to have it fixed, by all means, buy a new PSU.... and hope that there is not a problem in your monitor that is causing it to draw too much power. If you want to do repairs you will need to open things up and perform some basic technical troubleshooting, componint testing, and provide meter readings so you can post some pertinent information, then maybe you can obtain some useful repair suggestions. electricitym , , |
