What is that the smell of burnt electornics called?
I propose the term "electro-fry".
As in "I smell electro-fry." There has to be a term everyone agrees on. Not the usual stumbling... "You know that smell when electronic equipment goes bad or takes a power hit." Ideas? |

Or.... in a early 1990's Panasonic Industrial Video Camera manual they had
an "AutoFUC#us" PCB ;-0 never could locate that board :-) Dave Mc "Tom MacIntyre" wrote in message ... On 23 Feb 2004 01:06:27 -0800, (bleed-22) wrote: I propose the term "electro-fry".

I don't know, but I have actually seen the high-voltage transformer in some older Samsung (I think) manuals referred to as the "fryback" transformer. :-) Tom |

On the p.s. section of the board it has silk-screened: "REGURATOR." BTW, (I should make a new thread?) if anyone has a schematic for this one, there's a transistor -- Q-751, a C1398-- on the tuner section of this one which is shorted. I'm thinking it's a voltage 'regurator' for the section, but seems pretty 'hefty' for the purpose. Any ideas as to why that one would fry? Everything around it looks good. The amp section works fine, but the tuner (both AM & FM) started getting intermittant before it went out completely. I'm hoping there's nothing downstream that's gone south, but need to order the part before I can find out(?). jak |

Replaced w/NTE152...everything's back...been burning it in for the last couple hours and seems fine. I carefully monitored the temperatures in the section before buttoning it back up...nothing smoked or even got hot. I did notice almost *no* heat sink compound on the original--just a 'wet spot--where the transistor clamped to the heatsink. I liberally goo-ed it and wiped off the excess before installing the assembly. Hopefully it's now good for another 30 years or so. jak |

Sometimes it's expensive (at the customer's home)
Sometimes it's OOPS (at the shop) Luckily we don't get too much OOPS. JURB |

It's smoke. The perverbial colorless gas that operates all things
electronic. As you probably already know, once it leaks out of a sealed electronic system, the system fails. If it becomes overheated, it will turn white in color and become visible to the naked eye. Not to be confused with black smoke. That's the plastic cabinet burning.... "bleed-22" wrote in message om... I propose the term "electro-fry". As in "I smell electro-fry."

It's actually called "magic smoke." As Bob Kos mentioned, it's what makes
electronics work. Once you let the magic smoke out, you have troubles. -Rod It's smoke. The perverbial colorless gas that operates all things electronic.

Thanks...as explained--fixed it. Dunno for sure what it does, or why it
died, but works fine now. jak "GPG" wrote in message om...
