6105 power supplies

[da6d2003]

I've got 4 6105s with dead power supplies. Are these repairable? If so, where do I send them?

TIA

The 6105 power supply cannot be repaired but replacements are readily available, if they are more than 3 years old this is not too unusual, they usually last 4 years. They are part 6105.240.

Never say never, unless the power supply is potted it's usually the capacitors in the power supply that go. Not for the beginner, but if you have experience in electronics SMPS power supplies are not that hard to fix.

The issue is it is shielded in a copper jacket and that is near impossible to remove and reinstall without damaging the board as it is held with an insulating adhesive. The deep set tamper proof screw also doesn't help with getting to it, most tamper proof screwdrivers can't reach the screw, but they are available.
