PW-65A001 Power Supply Issue

[Brad]

Hi All,

I am after some help regarding a Power Win PW-65A001 power supply. This is out of a Aten KVM Console. There is something a miss with the power supply, it will temporarily power up and down and never show the display (This has worked fine in the past so only recently failed)

I tested the output and it should out 12v and 5v ... The 12v seems OK but the 5v will fluctuate all over the place. So I believe this is the issue. I've got the PSU out of the unit but not sure what to check - can anyone suggest the best place to start ? Could it be a capacitor issue or some other component ?

Additionally, I don't mind getting a replacement if anyone can suggest the best way. I've found some sites online but waiting to hear back, so in the interim keen to know if this current one can be fixed at all ?

Thanks in advance.

My rule: 'Never fix a power supply.' There is no fix....only replace. Unless you're on a desert island and that sucker is your only way off, just buy a new one.

Thanks for the reply - I was unable to source a replacement and that's resolved the issue !

Still keen to know what failed on the PSU but probably more hassle than its worth.

Cheers.
