By on November 14, 2010

Beh have completed building the Dick Smith Flyback Tester. The PCB board was beautifully made. He powered it with an external power supply and used a brighter LEDs as seen from the photos below. Well done Beh!

    DEAR JESTINE
    but also i have this question?
    in this diagram 1 cap is installed with 2.2 microfarad . if this is electrolyte? need to show the polarities but does not give any info
    if you can tell me about this. i tried to contact with designer of the diagram but no answer so far

    Hi beh,

    Since it does not show the polarity then i believe it is a non polar cap.

    DEAR ZED

    thank you so much of your fet tester diagram is really easy to make this one and if you said is working good i will switch to this one
    about PCB i have to tell you this is made by assistance of one of my friend and program of the computer that changes your simple diagram
    to a PCB printable diagram and after that is easy i do not know the name of program but if you want i have one extra unused pcb one and i can send you
    also i may ask Mr Yong to give you my e mail address
    i have to talk to you

    Thanks for the information of the software. My email ad is zed7344@yahoo.com or zed4473@gmail.com. I forgot to tell you and sir jestine that i've tried assembling that fet diagram that you refer a year ago and its not working. so i look for another diagram and i found what i refer to you and it's really working. i have post the picture in my blog.

    HI ZED
    thank you so much of your constructive info. as you told the diagram
    i was working on that is not working i try several time, but your diagram is much better actually i am finished this one and in much
    simpler way. i do not use wire and clipper i just put two 8 pin socket
    for testing the fets and as holder during the test period and for pcb board i us a project board . also for
    switch i want to use small key pin fit with hole of the board and not wiring them all and just solder the switch as soon as
    the tester complete i will send you a picture to see what i have done
    also i sent you e mail i will be very thankful if you answer me
    best regards

    I have been reading about the repair tips coming from your websites.
    Since then i have found them very very useful tips concerning repair of equipment and troubleshooting methods.
    I would like to get a circuit diagram for the lopt/flyback transformer as it is one of the most difficult part to troubleshoot.

    Bye

    Dear Mr. Jestine,

    Good day sir, I also make this flyback tester and why is it that i check SMPT transformer only five led is ON, the SMPT transformer is working fine.

    HI Randy,

    It depends on the transformer winding. Some will have 4 LED while to some it can have 8 LED light up.

    hi jestine,

    just want to ask about the flyback tester of mr. dick smith... will this flyback tester be more accurate if i use a precision resistor of 1% tolerance than a 5% regular resistor? thanks

    August 15, 2011 at 5:05 am

    HI Lito,

    Good question- using 1% on any test circuit will give you a better result. Since this tester result is from the LEDS and not in digital readout (like the digital multimeter) thus is is not necessary to use the 1% resistors.

    You need to make your own PCB.
