i found a working smps circuit and made a few pcb samples.
i modified it to get variable output. it worked great.
then i tried to modify it to make it more compact and use some leds at output.
the pcb was 50 %smaller than the first one.
but it worked only for a short time .. and only the first sample.
i assembled more samples - no good.
the fuse blows off when i power ON.
i tried to short the fuse, and then the pcb ground tracks blow off !
it is clear that the circuit is drawing too much of current !!!
does anybody have any clues ?
