660av deadPSU

[crazyben]

I recently acquired 660av and 6100/60. Both have dead PSU. I bought a working one and I was able to boot both machine. My question is can we easily rapair these? My knowledge on psu is just recapping.

Everything is repairable, given enough effort and expense given to it. In general these are fairly reliable but obviously not in your case - maybe they're just getting to that age where they are going to start failing now. There were a few different PSUs used in these machines, all the same formfactor but some are Delta, some are TDK and I think some are Dyna Comp or Astec, so there's isn't a single answer to 'How to repair it' - it will depend on the PSU.

Have you got a model number / picture of the label and some pics of inside it to hand?

I recently recapped mine (Dyna) and it came back to life. Worth a shot anyway.

Here it is.

Next to R66 there’s a 6 pin IC with a hole in the middle of the chip - not good.

Looks like a dot from a marker pen rather than a hole?

Yes you are correct it is a dot.
