Today we are taking a look at this old network equipment, it’s a Nokia IP330 Firewall. This router / firewall was released probably in 2000 or something similar, I couldn’t find any exact info on the release date but we can safely assume it’s at least 15 years old

This is the first AC-DC power supply that I’m designing and building. Everything seems to work up to a point where the chip (TNY 276 from Power Integration) gets too hot and enters thermal protection. This is where I’m asking my viewers help to jump in with suggestions on what might be wrong.
This is part 2 where I get the circuit working by switching from the TNY276 to the TNY277 which has a higher power rating and is probably the proper IC to use with this transformer (EE1616 ER2741)
And this is part 3 of the video where I finally find the real fault in the circuit. It turns out I was right, this circuit should have worked with the TNY276 as well and it wasn’t the higher power rating of the TNY277 that fixed the issue.
Sometimes, when I have some spare time I like assembling these cheap kits coming from China. Today I am assembling an LM317 adjustable power supply kit complete with voltmeter. Unfortunately they sent me a wrong resistor value so the kit didn’t work as expected but I was able to fix it in the end.
Today I’m going to be building a complete DIY analog bench power supply. The actual analog power supply kit (0-30V 0-3A) that I’m going to be using, is this one, it was shown and assembled in voltlog #8. Besides that I’m going to be using this plastic enclosure which I think is quite nice and perfect for such a project, this one can also be found on banggood and there will be links in the description for all the items used in this build.
In this video I power up the dc-dc adjustable step down power supply with LCD I got from banggood.
A new InTheMail video because mail items have been constantly coming in. I hope you’ll find it interesting and if that’s the case, hit that like button so I know you like this kind of video.

This is the new 2016 revision of the Gopher CPS-3205C. Gopher has addressed some of the issues I found in the old revision and sent me their latest for review. You will see a teardown as well as various tests performed on this power supply.
In this video I am assembling a multiple fixed rail power supply kit. This power supply works with a 5-24V input either through a USB mini socket or a dc barrel jack (2.5mm center positive) and at the output you get +12V, -12V, +5V, -5V and +3.3V. My kit was missing 1 small heatsink and one of the electrolytics was a different value than specified on the PCB.
In this video I am repairing an old 19 inch lcd monitor (Iiyama ProLite E481S) who isn’t powering up anymore. As usual with these lcd monitors, the fault is caused by capacitors on the power supply board.
