Is Flyback Ferrite Damage Repairable?
« on: August 20, 2013, 12:41:07 am »
A friend of mine shipped me a U2000 chassis and a new flyback for it to install.  At some point the flyback must have been dropped.  The upper ferrite piece (the top "C" shaped piece) has been cracked in two, and there's a large chip of it missing.  It's cracked very cleanly in two (except for the missing chunk from the outside edge).  The metal clip is holding it in place.  Can this be repaired, or should we toss it and buy another one?  THANKS!   ???

Get another.  The inductive capabilities of the ferrite can not be repaired once it is broken.  It basically becomes two separate ferrite objects that touch each other; not the same at all.

That's what I figured from reading a few discussions on the net.  Thanks for the reply.  I'm ordering him another one.  :-[
