But I think I can get to those other two supplies on Wednesday. Hopefully at least one of them will be readable! Otherwise I can desolder the diode from one of the other two and hopefully find a useful marking. >>> >>> >>> Turns out I have three more PSUs ... and the diode markings are unfortunately invisible on all but one.

I can also see that it doesn't conduct either way, which might mean that this PSU is the non-working one I know I have. Obviously the capacitor (820uF 250V electrolytic) is going to need replacing (might as well do both). But first I need to remove them and see what (if anything has happened) underneath. >>> >>> >>> This now goes back into my queue (behind the MicroVAXes and the H7868B PSU modules) so if you fix yours before I get to mine, please let me know what you did :-) >>> >>> >>> Antonio >>> >>> >>> -- >>> Antonio Carlini >>> antonio(a)acarlini.com >>> > >
