First of all m8 is safety when working on live power supplies. Don't attempt it unless you have had training or good experience. The hot side packs a punch. Start checking the secondary voltage rails first as you say this occurred whilst using the led simm. A ground connection can be obtained by using a tuner can. Note that the hot side of the power supply has its' own ground reference which is isolated from the secondary side. Leave this side alone for now.L33tpL4y4 said:i have a 4001 which is dead, from i done the LED simm meth, i have checked the whole board and have already checked the fuse etc its ok, i started to replace the bridge rectificer, capacitor, (non polarised) and have had just about enought, it has been sitting a while, i just work on it now and again, any help would be handy, thanks,
did you by chance use the ledsimm that requires soldering - if so look over what you have done for solder splashes ect, and make sure you have removed all the wiring properly.(no big lumps of solder and that sorta thing)mp101216 said:I had the chance over the holiday period to look this power fault .It was a s/c capacitor c7, which is connected to u2.
