12V SMPS Adapter No Voltage Output Repaired
Received 12V adaptor stating problem of not working. Done visual inspection of DC PIN, Wire & Plastic body for Burnout /Physical damage everything seems OK.
Checked for DC output for 12V multimeter is not showing any reading. For further inspection I opened the adapter and done visual inspection of the PCB seems OK no physical damage found. Checked continuity of the output DC wire found ok. So concluded the problem in the Circuit only.
Done some Voltage testing up to main capacitor it shows 300V DC that means up to this section circuit is Ok. But not getting any reading toward secondary side. So decide to check the components by cold testing (Using Multimeter in Buzzer Mode to detect open leaky or shorted components in the circuit).
On cold testing near switching Transistor I found open circuit 1MΩ Resister which is connected between Collector and Base of switching transistor MJE 13009 where base bias voltage is derived from the collector voltage.
Replaced New 1MΩ Resister
After soldering new resister I kept the circuit on the mains power for testing.
Now Meter Showing Reading of DC 12.4V on DC output Pin.
Finally reassembled the adapter and now it is ready to use.

I am trying to fix a similar power adapter that also uses an almost similar 13005 transistor but one in smd size. That is used on a mini 5V USB charger board that is placed in a EVO Line wall outlet box hidden in a cabinet. I am still waiting on the 6 pin smd controller with smd code 67A. That apparently is a SG6848TZ1 controller also known as green LD7550BBL controller. Hoping to be able to fix it soon which is always a gamble without any service manual or schematics.

I found above info on a Russian website but question if that is the right controller info because it looks as if the pin configuration is completeley different to my with 67A smd chipcode marked PWM controller. So 67A is probably a different controller then the mentioned SG6848 one. With those nasty smd codes we never can be sure!

Could you give me the url of that Russian website? I still have many old Soviet semiconductors

This topic about SMD devices is such a trouble, not always you can get the Scematics or Service Manual.

I found this info on the 67A sms code for the SOT23-6 PWM controller through Aliexpress that appears to be a MLX02367 chip:
https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/4001115144255.html
No luck on a datasheet however.
And this website was also looking for the 67A code: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/95952/help-identifying-pwm-controller-67a

See also this website on the 67A smd code chip that confusingly says that it is a Thyristor chip:
https://fr.excesschip.com/product/details/MLX02367A.
I am disturbed if I ordered 50 of the wrong IC's not being PWM controllers and I just asked the seller for a datasheet.

SMD Parts & their Coding & some time without marking/coding are always Headache.

Ik veronderstel dat de 1 Mohm de start-up weerstand is waarna de SMPS via een gelijkgerichte secundaire hulpwikkeling overneemt. Over die startweerstand staat de volle gelijkgerichte en afgevlakte DC van wel 310 V (evt +10%). Dit is wel erg veel, vandaar dat men meestal de spanning verdeeld over 2 weerstanden in serie van bv 470 kohm
============================================
I assume the 1 Mohm is the start-up resistor after which the SMPS takes over via a rectified secondary auxiliary winding. The full rectified and smoothed DC of up to 310 V (possibly + 10%) is placed over this starting resistor. This is a lot, which is why the voltage is usually divided over 2 resistors in series of eg 470 kohm

Absolutely Right & thanks for your input Mr.Dany Verhamme
