How I fixed my homemade high voltage DC power supply, showing all steps. I first elminate the tripler, or Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier, as the problem, then I test the flyback transformer, followed by the resistors. I skip the capacitor and go straight to testing the transistors and find a bad one. After replacing it, the high voltage power supply works again.
