Help with a Mobolazer ML10 2.5G Power supply burned

[musititlan]

Hi guys! I have a very nice mobolazer ML10 2.5G that is been sitting in the garage a few years, the power supply burned! Does any one knows if may still fixable or should I look to buy a Chinese laser? I'm in Ventura, CA. Please "help"
Thanks Angel Lopez

Those MG lasers were notoriously unreliable. AFAIK the only place that will work on them is OSLS in Florida. You can almost certainly replace it with a Chinese laser for less than the repair cost. Not that Chinese lasers are notoriously reliable or anything, but it should be an improvement.

but Chinese greens are more reliable than any MG i ever had (MG = rip off /Piece of shit)

(MG = rip off /Piece of shit)

Huhh??? That's the first time I've ever heard that. I have one, and now you have me a bit worried. What's the problem with them?

[Junktronix]

The problems units I've encountered had either sudden pump diodes failures or damaged crystals. As in full power last show, almost no power now with no obvious reason for the drop. The power supplies seem reasonably reliable, but there are no schematics or any tech info floating around so they're not repairable and the older type can't have the diode current and various temperature changed w/o some factory programmer so they are not interchangeable.

yea i had 1 the the crystal came loose in the cavity from the bass in the club
i had 1 with temp problems

i sent 1 to melles for repair i was told ok we can not fix it buy a new laser but you owe us $500 bench fee
and we spent over 15k each of these new

Hey Brad, wanna buy my MG?

When your asking a 20 year old Generation I DPSS to live longer, that is a very high expectation. Most of these should be having the diodes die from old age by now. Lifetime is proportional to the number of hours the pump diode has ben lit. The PSUs are well built. The heads, not so much. Yet still far better construction inside then a Chinese laser.

When these came out they were state of the art, for the mid 1990s.

Hi Angel -

..Well.. regardless of any comments above.. Why is the PSU 'todo chulon'? (all nekkid That's.. not really a 'good idea'... If you want, you can bring just the head / ps down to our shop in Van Nuys, sometime, and we can have a (proper..) look at it... PM me if ya wanna meet-up.. PS - I used to live in Ventura, so.. Happy to 'help a neighbor out'..

fwiw.. ciao..

Hey Brad, wanna buy my MG?

I have actually been planning on it and meant to do it before we left SELEM. This makes me a wee bit scared. I have enough crap that doesn't work right.
