Heya,
I've just built a DSE power supply unit, and it works fine. Problem sometimes is that the capicitors spark and some other parts on the PCB also spark, such as the relay. It's odd, as if the capicitors are discharging in a humerous way, and the relay .. is um .. I don't know what on earth it is doing. Anyways, the when it does spark nothing happens, it still supplies the correct voltage [15 VDC] and the Sub Woofer Bypass on it continues to work ....
Is there anyway to stop it from sparking crazily like that? It happens when it first goes on by the way... I've checked all my soldering and they are fine, no blobs of solder going through paths or anything like that. I've checked the rotations of all polar components ... I have no idea!
