LC TDK 699-0153 PSU

Since there doesn't seem to be a lot of information on these LC power supplies, I thought I would share what I've been working on the past few months.

My next goal is figuring out what everything on the board does in order to ease diagnosis, unfortunately I don't know much about SMPS or EE in general, so if anyone has any insights feel free to share. I vaguely understand what's going on but not enough to determine how specific voltages are sourced.
Also if anyone can determine the specs of the two transformers, let me know.

Board Components

All the components on the board, with whatever specs I could determine. I wasn't able to identify most of the diodes.

Board Schematic

Thank you so much for this. I recently obtained an LCIII. I recapped the power supply but I'm getting low voltage on the -5V rail. Hopefully this helps me track down the problem!

Correction to resistor R10, I believe it's actually supposed to be a 27KΩ resistor. I guess the first board I was looking at was discolored a bit.
Also R54 should be 470Ω, not 460Ω

This is great! I also recently drew the schematic for a TDK PSU, but it’s part number 614-0003. Seems similar enough to this one though. I can share it as well if there’s interest.

Thank you SuperSVGA this is a great step to successful repairs of the LC power supplies! While replacing the PS with a modern one is feasible, keeping the original ones working feels more satisfying to me.

Please, can someone try to explain the function of the circuitry? This may hint about the missing component specs.
My own knowledge is more (i.e. less) than rusty.
Anyway, I would like to start discussing the schematic myself, even if there are more questions marks than useful information. Probably it provokes some, very welcome, corrections.

Starting with the two fuses U1 and U2, I can only guess one is quicker.
Then I see a filter consisting of C1, a double choke L1, and C2.
?? R1 makes sure, there is always a minimal load on the input circuit, and slightly dampens the CLC-filter??
C3 and C4 are actual in series and ?? make the mains voltage symmetrical to the device ground ??
CR1 is KBP06G, a 600V 1.5 A bridge rectifier.

Probably, someone more competent may take over. Thank you!

I probably should have made that more clear, there's only one fuse, but the holder is two parts making the symbol two sections.

Oh, sorry, I misread this.
Anyway, my hope is that a better understanding of the circuitry leads to recommended procedures for error tracing and repair.
This PS isn't a too complicated, and doesn't need very expensive equipment to repair - like a logic board does.

My hope is we can build up some competence here necessary for reviving classic Mac's PS.

Hi Everybody!

I have just gotten an LC II with a dead power supply, none of the voltages are right, they are mostly around 1-2V, nowhere near what they should, and I would like to attempt to repair.
I never had Mac LCs before, but this PSU is so cute and pretty simple, its amazing!

Thanks *SuperSVGA* for posting this info! It's priceless!

And sharing this info, to be able to fix old gear, does more for the planet than charging for grocery plastic bags...

Hello there
I have an old LC (32 years old) and am trying to repair the PSU at the moment.
Hopefully all goes well

Pretty seriously covered here, but since I've already collected the data and also recorded the series and make (series only for the Nichicons), I'll post it and my "map" here.

The ELNA caps are "RSG". Ironically labelled "long life" given they're the ones that have failed.

I have a Mac LC from mid 90's, I am trying to revive it.

The TDK PS was dead to start, came to life after a few hours (as old electrolytic capacitors sometimes do).
Then it suddenly died again.
I read this thread with great interest.

Replaced all electrolytic caps, the PC came back to life but died again.
Overvoltage 14V/6V or nothing (tick-tick) dependent on the trimmer pot setting.
Replaced the optocoupler. No good.
Replaced the shunt regulator. No good.

Looking at the PCB, it looked strange and icky.
I rinsed the PCB in isopropanol a few times, the liquid in the bucket became severely yellow.
I wiped it off and let it dry.

Started the PS, now it worked perfectly.

The old capacitors had leaked their electrolyte onto a thick layer on the PCB, shorting out all control circuitry.

Lesson learned.
