I built a variable power supply from a kit and it worked fine. I accidentally short circuited it for a while and if broke. I learned from the mistake and bought some insulated alligator clips so that the same thing won't happen again. But the problem is that my power supply is still broken. At first after it broke, it was putting out 34 volts and wouldn't change (it was supposed to work from 1.24-24 volts). Then I changed the two main transistors and another smaller one because they had all been really hot. That helped but now it is putting out 7 volts and changes a little bit when I turn the knobs but not much. What should I change next or what is the problem? Do I just have to do trial and error until I get the right part? I am a beginner and have know Idea what to do.
