A LED light device was brought to my shop for repair; and the main issue was, it does not power up. In fact, the actual LED light on this device was missing and when I asked the customer about that he said, that LED light works on 6 AC volts and we cannot find the replacement for it.
As I took it apart, I found out this transformer works on 220 AC input and has 6 AC output and understood later on that it has a motor that runs also on 6 AC volts. Read More

It could be a faulty power cord, a fuse thermostat open due to over heating or could be the board itself that has issues. Read More

This is a Zika that is well known for its quality and durability. It is complicated to repair for as you can see, the power board has too many wires connected everywhere. Read More
