Hi all .... newbie here! I'm trying to fix a friend's smoothie blender which is totally non-operational. I have thoroughly checked all the mains voltage side of things and found no fault. On the PCB I have replaced the Triac to no avail and checked the single disposable fuse which has good continuity. I have tested the motor and the LED switches separately and both are good. My problem seems to be that there is no 5V current to the LED "switches" which appear to be not switches at all as they are all solid state and there's nothing to depress! Can anyone explain how these "switches" work please and which components/s are most likely to be the culprits? Thanks in anticipation Rod |

Thanks so much Darren I really appreciate your comprehensive answer....it has given me some understanding and also some ideas. I'm in the process of changing out three of the capacitors, if that doesn't work I'll come back with a photo. Thanks again. Rod. |
