I have a Sharp VC-A66U VCR with a dead switching power supply. I have
replaced the chopper transistor and the fuse. It's no longer dead, but
it does not
regulate. Can anyone tell me what the output voltages should be? It uses

a Zebra M67209 hybrid IC for the PWM controller. I'm looking for the
datasheet on this IC as well as the schematic for the VCR or at least
the power supply portion. I've not been able to find anything with
Google. Can anyone point me to a schematic for this or a similar Sharp
VCR? Please reply to newsgroup. TIA.

Does it use an opto-isolator for the feedback ? Hint, look for one bridging the
6mm gap on the pcb between primary and secondary parts.

Check that the opto's functioning and check the components driving it.

Have you tried it working into a load ? In general, it's pretty unusual for
switchers to fail to regulate, especially if the original fault was
primary-side.

It appears from the following VCR fault database that C913 (47uF/16V)
may be the root cause of your problem.

Model Fault Remedy
---------------------------------------------------------------------
VCA45U(VCH75U) Dead C913 (47/16v), Q901(2SC4273) & IC901 (M67209)
VCH75U(VCH45U) Dead C913, 47/16v; Q901, 2SC4273 & IC901 M67209

FWIW, these Sharp models appear to use the same chip:
VCA63 VCA36 VCA40G

My parts supplier's database suggests that the M67209 is equivalent to
a 95KUCH0078ZZ.
