Need to get MG Electronics Power Supply repaired...or NOT!?

Former Member

Hi.

I just bought a lot of Slot Car stuff, yes those cars that go around a track. The guy was serious about his hobby he didn't have the usual wall plug in power pack, he used a MG Electronics PS-10AD, 0-20 VDC at 10 Amps. Well this power supply doesn't work anymore. It does turn on and the red overload light stays on. It doesn't put out anything. I used my multimeter etc., nothing. I know that these are made overseas . They did retail for about $200. So the questions is were can I get it repaired OR should I ? I'm in Western MAss.

I did check the fuse , it's fine. I've got a heavy door stop on my hands, it does have a nice handle and cord on it !

Many thanks for info, Ted

    Hi all again!

    First of all than you for all the courtesy that you have shown me !

     

    I did search the web for a schematic, non to be found. I saw that others had the same luck !

    I did open up the MG Electronics Power Supply . I have attached pix of that expedition!

    What I found was....No burnt anything, no burnt smell, no heat, no buzzing noise, nothing looks incorrect, it pretty clean in there!

    I did see what I that was melted something on the giant transformer, I took a Q-tip to it, nothing. Probably tried glue or sealant of some kind !

    Visual I see nothing! I did check the fuse again, it's fine !

    So what usually goes first on a power supply ? Just a reminder, the overload light is on, what ever that info is worth !

    Thank you all so very much !!

    Ted

    tedbier check to see if you have power in the following places:

    1. Check the fuse with an dvm ohms..
    2. where the power cord terminated: yes move on; No replace cord
    3. check the seconary across the bridge. Yes, Regulator is bad
