Hello all
I put together a primitive power supply with a 12V DC output straight from the rectifier, and a 5V DC output which was achieved using a 7805.
It worked fine until I shorted the 5V output. Now there's only 1.4V between the output and ground pins on the 7805, where there was 5V before.
Is that how voltage regulators fail, when they fail?
