Help identify replacement for burnt out component

stanto
stanto 2 days ago

I have been asked to repair the charger for a family member's E.C. Cutter Electric Scissors Kit. The charger for it is supposed to output 7.5v at 1.2a and it outputs 11v and buzzes. It's completely sealed, so it's going to be replaced.

However it took the charger with it, upon opening it should a replaceable component, but I'm having trouble knowing what to look up.

Here's photos of its insides:

I'm presently in Norway, so finding parts here may be tricky and I'll have to bring it back to England to pick something up!

I'm expecting some of the diodes to have failed after checking them in diode mode on a multimeter, and the burnt out component may be a radial inductor?

    stanto You are correct. It is an inductor. The "L1" label on the PCB helps validate that. You are also correct in that the current that caused that damage may have damaged other components. AND... it might…

    stanto You gave it a good try. If the simple fix wasn't enough... your time is more valuable on another project or endeavor. Knowing when to call "No joy" is also a skill.

    The silkscreen says L1, so it is pretty likely a choke. You may have to remove L1 and put it under a magnifying glass to see if you can identify labels.

    It is... melted, there is nothing identifiable on it.
