Dyna Comp PSU for LC

[mloret]

Hey guys. I just recapped a dyna comp PSU. I tried to test it on my LCII and it didnt do anything. No power to computer. I assume that this thing is compatible with my LC. Previously I had recapped a TDK and this one didn't give me any trouble. Anyone ever work on the Dyna Comp model and experience this? I'm sure I did something stupid, but not quite sure what.

Also the "pads" on the soldering side were unlike anything I had ever worked on. Maybe I soldered to this incorrectly? Any help is appreciated.

Hi @mloret!

At first glance at the second picture of the bottom circuitry of the PSU, I noticed some solder joints are bridged. That is not good as that causes shorts and possibly other issues. Here is what a bridged solder joint looks like:

Review this guide to try to identify other solder joint issues you have. You will need to remove the bridgings and redo any problem joints. Using magnification will help.
