HP75D doesn't work with power adaptor
Message #1 Posted by Lucien Gisclong on 4 Feb 2003, 11:05 a.m.

Hi,

I have a problem with my HP75D : It works fine with batteries but doesn't work with the power adaptor and doesn't charge the batteries. I need the schematics because there is 11 volts dc after the rectifier bridge and nothing after the regulating transistors without battery and vbattery with. Does somebody have an idea? I will be happy to receive this schematics.

Best regards Lucien

Did you check the power adapter? Quite often the plug devlopes an open circuit. Connect a voltmeter and wiggle the wires around where they connect to the plug (machine end usually, somtimes at the wall wart)

Dear David,

Thank you for your answer. I did tested the ac voltage delivered inside the HP75, not only at the adaptor. this voltage is unfortunately ok (i would prefer to have this kind of failure).

Cheers, Lucien

Dear Lucien,
I finally found my HP-75C Service Manual.
I'm scanning electrical plans.
Don't worry, be happy!
Regards. Yours.
Emmanuel
