Bummer time.... I turned on my VXT2000+ today and
after about
5 minutes there was a "pop" and a small puff of smoke from
the power supply. No smell like you get from a selenium diode
or other semiconductor. Now, the fan tries to run but only
twitches and the led blinks slowly. No obvious blown part
visible. Does anyone have a service manual for the H7109-B
Power Supply? I would really like to fix this but I can't
see paying $150-$250 for a replacement. (Actually, if I had
that kind of money I would, but I don't!)
I don't have a manual, but PSU problems typically base on broken
electrolytic capacitors. (The larger have venting cuts on their top,
you may be able to see these broken open, or puffed up.) Start there
and replace them, they're cheap! And if that doesn't help, we'd try a
better approach.
