I have a SMPSU which controls a height adjustable desk. input 230V AC, Output 24V DC.
The PSU died. Symptoms: just blew fuse in mains (230V). As the mains is a bit dodgy sometimes I replaced fuse - symptoms the same.
Internally the PSU has a lot of yellow potting compound on many components, which is a pig to deal with.
Board is made by NAO technologies, board number HCSA-200 Rev A.
One resistor (PR2) (looks to be a half watt size) shows heat damage around the potting compound, but as I have no diagrams find it difficult to start diagnosis.
Emailing company has no reply.
Anyone have any experience with this? Anyone have any schematics/circuit diagrams?
Thanks - as noted in my original post it is indeed a SMPS, and checking stuff in-circuit is not the easiest thing to do when I can't input AC, and half the components are under potting compound.
I've managed to find a few datasheets for individual components, but it looks like I may have to do it the tedious way and create a circuit diagram myself
Thanks for the reply, but this is a 24V 8 Amp supply, so not so cheap to replace.
I have dismantled some of the PSU, having spent ages getting rid of most of the potting compound.
I had to dismantle it to get to the component I suspect - the damn potting compound had caused one of the power resistors to fry).
Whether that is the underlying cause is unknown, but at least I can start to troubleshoot properly; first job is replace the resistors and put it under load.
I created a circuit diagram, the only thing missing is the internals of the IC, but I think I found a suitable equivalent I can look at.
