Hi I'm a freshman in the electronic workfield. I=B4ve been assignes to repair a 120 V AC to 12V DC Battery charger. It got a high current problem. I cannot locate the comparator in charge of keep the current level, because there's no circuitry drawing. So I think the problem is in the optoisolators. If I'm right they're used for high current trouble handling. Theres this burning marks on the anode input resistance wich means there is more current than is supposed to exist. So please someone send how to test one optoisolator and what are the mos common causes for the high current problems in battery chargers.
