i wish there were something magic to diagnose SMP s. thats where i spend too much time. usually end up disconnection one end of each part, and then probably replacing opto-isolator and the Mos-fet for good measure. is it just me, I like to use a digital to read voltages and an analog meter to read resistance, when looking for a shorted part. as far as test equipment goes, i have most of it, analog FET ohm meter is favorite, then the Pr57 power mate , to check current, also my ESR meter, and va62 for test patterns. also my CTR restorer. I think of how few jobs i would have lost if i only had 10% of the equipment i bought. and 5% of the parts i stocked I wouldnt be surprised if i threw away, over 40 years, 100,000 worth of obsolete parts. Wish i could do it over again. loll Larry Al L wrote: > The Diehl was a RIP!
