jooks Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Ok, update on the optimized psu since I finaly got hold of another bridge rectifier....When measuring DC I get:- 5.20V at 5V output - 5.20V at led pin- 14.09V at 14V output pin So far so good but when measuring AC I also get:~ 10V at 5V output~ 10V at led pin~ 30V at 14V output...Somehow there´s AC going everywhere in the circuit but I can´t figure out why??! I use a W10G bridge rectifier but from what I understand (which I agree is not much) it should make no difference. If anyone has an idea what could be wrong I´d really appreciate it.

Futureman Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Hey, just out of interest, when you put your multimeter to AC and measure the voltage across a 9V battery, what do you get?RegardsMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jooks Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Hey Mike, huge thanks!! You saved me from going over everything for the 20:th time:-) My multimeter measures 20V AC across a 9V battery....I guess that means I have a functioning optimized psu for my sid!! YIHAAA!!

nILS Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 ...mainly that means you need a new mulitmeter ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jooks Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 ...mainly that means you need a new mulitmeter ;)I guess you´re right....that´s the only thing I can be sure of. BUT...I´m still happy :) I´m pretty sure it works now. I´m a believer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jooks Posted May 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 So with a new multimeter I was able to figure out that my psu section problems were not only a broken bridge rectifier (probably from a short between it´s in/out) but also a faulty psu. And yep, the multimeter was broken also....I´m very glad everything worked out before I got crazy.....Now everything is working fine! Now wiring and uploading :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
