I was using this 12v fan controller (see photos) to control an led strip. After about 6 hours, I noticed it stopped working (probably not enough current and something blew on both the controller and psu).
Used a multimeter to check psu and had no voltage coming out at all.
Tried another working psu, turned the fan controller and.. nothing. Unhooked psu and measured power on psu and now thats reading 0v!
Something on the fan controller killed both psus. I'm going to replace the LM317T Regulator on it to see if that fixes controller, but Id like to repair the psus as well.
What is the most likely component on the psus to die in both circumstances??
Have attached images of both psus and the fan controller. (One has an led. Ignore the cut wires on one of the psus, they were already like that before I opened it up.)
Let me know if need more details. Thanks.
