Known Issues

Won't Power System First Try

Causes

  • Leaky capacitors prevent the power supply from delivering its rated voltage for as long as a minute
  • Adjustment potentiometer oxidized, defective, or incorrectly set

Solutions

  • Replace power supply capacitors
  • Using suitable test equipment and not the computer this power supply is for, adjust the adjustment potentiometer until the output voltages are correct
  • Use DeOxit or equivalent on the adjustment potentiometer and adjust as above
  • Replace adjustment potentiometer

Smells Like A Fishing Vessel

Causes

  • The capacitors have degraded over time and leaked their electrolyte
  • System operated in extreme conditions

Solutions

  • Replace capacitors
  • Clean up the board to remove all corrosive electrolyte
  • Cease operating the computer on a fishing vessel

Disassembly Notes

There are three kinds of screws:

  • The two screws with lock washers used to attach the latching power switch to the power supply's case
  • The two longer screws used to attach the PCB to the power supply's case and the two longer screws used to attach the power supply to the Tera Drive's chassis
  • The six short screws used to attach the power supply's top and bottom halves to one another

The strain relief on the internal power supply connector has become hard with age, and probably cannot be removed by squeezing the tabs and squishing it as designed. You may need to slightly bend apart the sheet metal that makes up the channel the strain relief slots into to allow you to remove the strain relief with the amount of deformation you're able to do to the plastic.

C9, C16, C17, and C21 were the capacitors that let out electrolyte on a PSU with date code 102004511. Additionally, C6 (the huge expensive one) tested at 315 µF (-5%, the part has a 20% tolerance), and probably does not need replaced.
