Hey guys,

I just got a 20-year old HPLC from our department.
It worked pretty well last Friday, but got in trouble on Saturday. Every time I turned the autosampler on, the fuses would blow. I tried with new fuses several times, but got same results. I'm thinking the autosampler power supply board might be short-circuited.
Has anyone dealt with this kind of problem before? Is this repairable?
If it's not, where could I buy a replacement one? The HPLC model is really old, so I can't find any available part on Agilent website.

Thanks so much!

My group does do diagnostics and repair of instrument boards and power supplies. We also sell used instruments, and though we generally don't sell parts, we could sell a used 1050 power supply on an as-is basis (no warranties, though we could check that it powers on successfully). In this case, a used replacement part would probably be a less expensive option than repair, and we have a number of them in inventory.
