IIfx PSU: Overheating Resistors?
Posted by: chrisrueckert on 2024-10-20 11:37:30
I've recapped a IIfx PSU. It turns on as expected, though the resistors R26 and R15 of the PSU get very warm. After a couple of minutes (less than five), R15 is already at 131.7C (269F).

What could be the issue with them? Or is this normal? I suppose such a high temperature is not desired for this component.
