    The power supply is dead, you can see the parameters and the extent of the damage in the pictures below. Visible dark spots were created due to the melting of a thin layer of black sponge, which was the "padding" for PCBs. I know that it is the cheapest to buy another such power supply with given parameters, but maybe someone has knowledge and experience and will help in the repair of this miracle.

    As with any repair of the inverter - it starts with checking the control and keying system. Then the surge protection system, capacitors ... I do not know how difficult this white adhesive will make it difficult for you. Depending on the type, it can go away from the plate and the elements very easily, and maybe so that you have to sweat a lot to remove it ...

    In my opinion, 18VDC with a capacity of 1300mA can easily be adapted from a laptop, you will need to replace the power supply-mixer cable.

    Yes, you're right Marcin, I even have a Dell power supply here (nominally 20VDC / 3.5A I'm just wondering how to break 2V.) A semiconductor diode (eg 3A / 40V) without load gives a drop of 50mV, 1N4007 ( of course, this one has too little current, but I researched dry) without load gives a 150mV drop. Probably at load this drop should increase to about 1V (at least this is stated in the note V F = 1.1V However, I care about the constant voltage, close to 18V. If there is no way out, I am looking for a ready 18V power supply and the right current, I just wanted to solve it differently, and I'm always happy to put a burnt module on my feet.

    Of course, you are right that it is always happy to put a burnt module on its feet, but is it worth it?
    Enter the address of the popular auction site plus, e.g. /universal-lowering-with-laptop--120w-csw-i6694839516.html
    You can find the rest yourself and maybe even cheaper.
    The question is why the original power supply "fell"
    As for breaking the voltage I will bet that there are additional stabilizers in the mixer anyway.
    Good luck

    It fell because it was Chinese, although signed with the Soundcraft logo, there is nothing to ask. I have already solved the subject of power, thanks to Colleagues from the forum I have transformed the power supply from Dell. Also, the forum is useful :-) Maybe somebody will someday put the schematic of this Soundcraft power supply, it's worth expanding the knowledge base. Greetings!

    Guys, what about the PWM controller at 6 feet and the mark on the casing:

    It is enough to replace the power supply with a more solid one, 18V / 1.5A.

    By the way, I will add that this mixer is produced by SP PRO AUDIO (UI12, UI16 models) with the "SOUNDCRAFT" logo printed on it. Only the UI24 model is made by an English company and the design is completely different, if only because it has classic microphone preamplifiers, which the lower models do not have at all ... :D

    They have but packed in small black mergers. The sound gap is significant. As for the power supply, I used a "laptop" 20V (ui12) myself and nothing bad happened. The original one heats up very much.

    The topic is almost archival. It is not my intention to find another one, just to repair the original module. The mixer itself had already received such a (new) module, I was thinking about making this copy so that there would be a reserve.

    No, they do not have a typical, classic preamp stage as it is customary to construct low-noise preamplifiers, mixers for about 40 years ..

    I once repaired such a power supply and drew a primary diagram, but I have 2 more diagrams in the Soundkrafr folder. I am attaching all 3 files, maybe one of them will suit you.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the repair of a Soundcraft UI-12 power supply, which has suffered damage indicated by dark spots from melted padding. Users suggest starting repairs by checking the control and keying systems, as well as the surge protection and capacitors. Alternatives to the original power supply include adapting a Dell laptop power supply, with discussions on voltage regulation and the potential use of diodes to achieve the desired output. Some participants note that the original power supply's failure may be due to its low-quality construction. Additionally, diagrams of the power supply are shared for reference, and it is mentioned that the UI-12 and UI-16 models are produced by SP PRO AUDIO, while the UI-24 is made by a different company with a distinct design.
