CCTV Power Adapter Repaired
Visited one of my customer sites with the complaint of none of the CCTV Cameras were working.
Symptom found was-
On the monitoring screen it shows “No signal” error. By visual inspection I found power to the camera was not working. So I went to the DVR room and found that the SMPS provides the power to the Cameras has no indicator light glowing. I checked the SMPS output with multimeter it does not showed life.
Adapter is 12V – 2Amp. So customer have arranged new adapter and I have fixed the same and all the cameras were working now. Now I took the bad adapter with me to fulfill my curiosity that what went wrong with the adapter.
On return to the workshop I took the adapter on the work bench and opened it for inspection, visually I found everything was fine and there was no physical damage or burn marks only main primary capacitor was bulged.
Bulged Capacitor is of value 22uf 450V .So I have replaced the mains Capacitor. After replacement I have powered the adapter but LED Indicator not glowing. With the help of multimeter I started to test the voltages step by step.
First checked the DC voltages on the Mains capacitor I got 340V DC that means primary side up to mains Cap is ok. Still no voltages on secondary side.
Checked secondary side components everything seems to be OK but no voltages so up to LNK666E IC there were no voltages. LNK666E is a 7 Pin IC (High-Power Off-Line Switcher with Accurate Primary-Side Regulation IC).

So this is the one component which I am unable to check, so on doubt I have arranged the new IC from our market.
After replacing the IC I have powered the adapter and see.
This way I have brought this adapter back to the life.

Yogesh Panchal ji,
i am really very oblige to you for giving such wonderful information
about faulty supply correcting method.
right now, would you please forward motherboard of computer hardware
different different if possible i am also interest and now about
hardware as well as software engg. and i would like to much thank for
hardware knowledge in computer era which is wast range today and
thing about VVLSI and super computer circuit if possible. i am not
in position to seen any supper computer still got master degree in
software engg. and programming many popular languages like c, C++, java
jsp asp, Sql, Visual, foxpro, and many other....
i am again giving heartiest thanks for updating my knowledge and hope you pleas give me such type circuit ...

Good work.
I am still a newbie in power supply repairs. Do you think you could have used an oscilloscope to check the source pin of LNK666E to see if LNK666E works properly( to check if it sends pulses?
Can anyone confirm?
Thanks.

Lad,
I don't Have oscilloscope; As you can see very few components on the PCB it hardly took 25 minutes to check all the components except LNK666E you can not check this IC for malfunction with the multi meter,Testing Voltages on this IC it gives 175V DC on Pin no.7 which works as "DRAIN" and is connected on primary side winding of the transformer and i am not getting any voltage on any other pins of this IC hence on assumption I replaced the IC & it works.

Good clean and straightforward repair Yogesh!
What would power adapters be without these (mostly bulged) e-caps?
And thanks for the update on the LNK666E 7 Pin IC specs.
