They shouldn't be that hard to fix. I repaired well over a hundred Strong switchers over the last ten years with out any schematics. Except for the time it took to remove and replace the gazillion screws holding them together they were very easy to fix. The boys down under are fixing the NEC switchers without drawings. By the way, apparently there is an early version and a later version power supply. If these are the Ebay projectors then they are probably the earlier ones. I am still waiting for one to fail. BUt all the buildings I have done installations in have both surge protection on the booth panel and UPS's. You might want to consider placing surge protectors on your booth panels. That will afford you better life on all high power switching supplies. They do not like big, high voltage spikes at all. One surge protector costs less then repairing one switching xenon supply! Over the past 20 years I actually kept a log on buildings that did not, and that did have surge protection. Buildings that had it NEVER lost even a Strong switcher. Buildings with out them lost on average of several a year, some times even more. I have had several theaters get hit by lightening over the last 5 years and all of the equipment survived because the surge protectors took the hit.

What does or doesn't it do? Can't you just rebuild that board?  |  IP: Logged
