The voltage across C9 and C10 should be the same as the voltage at the output terminals.

S2 looks like from the Bottom of the board voltage I will be able to Turn it in

If you adjust the pot does the voltage at C9/10 get to 5.5V?

Wire from C9 to the output terminal (on the bottom side - so remember its flipped) as in the pic and you should be fine.

Hello Russ,

Take a look at the jumpers from C9 to DC out
Please let me know if it looks OK.

thanks
Dave

Hey Russ,

S1 is producing 12.41V DC now... But it will not allow me to adjust the voltage via the trim pot?

I guess I'm a little confused why we added the jumpers and by passed the trim pot.

Do you have any ideal why we lost voltage after C5 I never tested C7.

I know I'm only using one side of this PS for the Buffalo IIIse so having the second side work may be a moo point anyway.


Thanks
Dave

It is not really bypassing the pot. The pot is connected via the upper trace.

You may only need one half, that is true.

Basically all we are doing is replacing an upper trace with a jumper to the terminal. :)

Looking back at your drawing -- was I supposed to run the GND from the C9 thru the Trim pot post and then connect to the GND post?

No. Direct from the cap pad as it looks like you have done.

Over and Out - looks like I'm ready to connect to the Buffalo 3se and IVY 3 ...

Good to see you made progress Dave!

Now you have to clear out your PM box; it is full and won't receive messages.

Hi!

I'm getting kind of the same problem here with my LCDPS.
DC Out is 11.2V on both outs.

I've read the whole post and made the measurements which you can find the results below.
I'm using the 9V / 15VA trafo on 230V (grey + violet connected together).

AC IN black/red: 10.15V
AC IN orange/yellow: 10.15V

A1: 10.3V
A2: 10.3V

C1: 10.15V
C2: 10.15V
C3: 12.8V
C4: 12.8V
C5: 12.8V
C6: 12.8V
C7: 10V
C8: 10V
C9: 11.2V
C10: 11.2V

D1: 1.45V
D2: 1.45V
D3: 1.14V
D4: 1.23V

DC OUT1: 11.2V
DC OUT2: 11.2V

Important points : IC1 and 2 are keeping cool, VR1 and 2 have no effect on DC Outs.

I can take pics if needed :)
Thanks for the help.

Cheers,
neofeed

Tried my LCBPS yesterday and remembered what happened with the LCDPS as the same occurred with both LCBPS.

Plugged the trafo in and switch it ON : in less than 10 seconds, the LCDPS (and so did the LCBPS at first time) got very hot (heatsinks and boards). So hot that I could bearly put my fingers on the heatsinks.

Is that normal ? Don't think so but why ?


Thing is now, when I switch on the LCDPS, the board and heatsinks are keeping cool, no matter how long I let it powered ON.
