LG Flatron 22EA53VQ-P Power Issue

Posted on October 27, 2016 The Engineer

I was recently given a pretty nice LED backlit 1080p LG monitor, with the instruction that it wouldn’t power on correctly. The monitor would power on as far as the standby light, but when fully powered on, would flash the backlight momentarily then shut down. A power supply issue was

Dell E207WFPc Monitor 12v Conversion

Posted on September 21, 2015 The Engineer

I’m still on my crusade of removing every trace of 240v mains power from my shack, so next up are my computer monitors. I have 4 Dell monitors, of various models, hooked up to my main PC. The monitor here is a Dell E207WFPc 20″ widescreen model. There will be

Rigol 12v Power Supply Project Wiring Loom

Posted on August 26, 2015 The Engineer

As the crimp tool for the PSU connector in the Rigol scope is a very expensive piece of hardware, I decided to use pre-crimped terminals, from an ATX power connector. (They’re the same type). Here’s the partially completed loom, with the 13 cores for the power rails. The 14th pin

Wearable Raspberry Pi – Some Adjustments

Posted on April 22, 2013April 22, 2013 The Engineer

As the first USB hub I was using was certainly not stable – it would not enumerate between boots & to get it working again would require waiting around 12 hours before applying power, it has been replaced. This is a cheapie eBay USB hub, of the type shown below.

Wearable Raspberry Pi SMPS Modifications

Posted on April 6, 2013April 22, 2013 The Engineer

A few modifications were required to the SMPS modules to make the power rails stable enough to run the Pi & it’s monitor. Without these the rails were so noisy that instability was being caused. I have replaced the 100µF output capacitors & replaced them with 35v 4700µF caps. This

Wearable Raspberry Pi Part 2 – Power Supply

Posted on April 4, 2013April 22, 2013 The Engineer

Progress is finally starting on the power supply unit for the Pi, fitted into the same case style as the Pi itself, this is an 8Ah Li-Poly battery pack with built in voltage regulation. Here are the regulators, fixed to the top of the enclosure. These provide the 12v &
