None of the low-power coils work; the fuse is fine and power reaches the driver board but goes no further. The +20 V LED on the driver board is out.

WPC-95: all the 20 V coils dead, fuse good

Cause: A cracked solder pad on the filter capacitor after that supply's rectifier stops the DC getting past the rectifier. Seen on a Safe Cracker.

Checks

  • Check whether the +20 V LED on the driver board is lit.
  • Inspect the rectifier and filter capacitor solder joints for cracks.

Fix

  • Solder jumper wires from the rectifier outputs to the filter capacitor, as is done for the 5 V bridge.
