| #258: Repair Log: Yaesu FT-736R re-cap of internal power supply | replace electrolytic capacitors The FT-736R All-Mode VHF/UHF Transceiver has a built in switching power supply that is known to fail with age. This is well documented (see link below). The failure is due to several electrolytic capacitors that dry out and fail due to the heat generated by a few components in the supply. This video shows how to replace the capacitors in the internal power supply and get the rig back up and running again. https://youtu.be/doM1yZTSWiA |
