Please treat me like a child and assume I am stupid also when answering
I have a lathe with a digital LED readout that failed, I had to strip it to change a bearing and though
about sorting it at the same time.
The power board is not supplying 5v to the digital panel. Simple circuit but still over my head
Bridge rectifier 3 caps one diode one inductor and 2 resistors and the WS 78L05.
Bridge rectifier checks out OK doing the diode test. Will swap the caps for Panasonic and Rubycon
items instead of the unknown Chinese capacitors.
I have 2 78L05's arrive and putting them on the component tester one shows as 2 diodes and the other
is backwards to my original item.
I can post up diagrams of the testers findings, but the question is should one some up as 2 diodes
when tested?
And the other one thats backwards, can i simply fit it the opposite way around?
Original item.. 1 =C, 2 =B, 3 =E hFE = 5, Uf = 1.35v
Replacement they sent, 1 =E, 2 =B, 3 =C, hFE = 566, Uf = 669mV
The other one says 2 Diodes Uf 815mV Uf1.38V
Wrong items? Many Thanks
