Amiga 500 PSU |
The bottom part of the PCB had some funny looking solderings with a lot of gunky-looking flux residue.
Bottom side of PSU PCB. Some gunky looking flux residue can be seen to the bottom right, top right and top left. |
When I removed the strange looking solder I discovered that one of the pads to the transformer didn't have a connection at all! Maybe it was loose and I sucked it into the solder sucker.
Anyway, I soldered some wire to the transformer and touched up the bad looking solder joints, and the PSU worked nicely after that.

I made a note of the electrolytic capacitors on the board, so that I can order new ones and recap it.
No caps | C(uF) | U(V) | diam (mm) |
---|---|---|---|
3 | 22 | 25 | 5 |
1 | 4700 | 6.3 | 15 |
2 | 330 | 25 | 10 |
1 | 4700 | 25 | 16 |
When I have recapped the PSU, I will properly clean off all the old flux.
