The caps fail yet again! Good catch with all the dry solder joints as well mate. 👍
great stuff as usual, excited to see the old FT-101E when you get to it :D
I really need to get to it 😆
I bet it is the power brick, they do tend to get pretty hot when in use which makes the caps fail sooner than they should.
I think I should send you a “care pack “ lol, I’ve got stuff here I likely will never use, but you might.
You know as soon as it's gone you'll need one 🤣
Being a switchmode power supply did you use low ESR output capacitors?
Yes
Awesome thanks...
You're welcome!
Funny I just fixed my second unit both units was the power supply
Who'd have thought! 😄
