    AOC v173

    Hi guys,

    I bought this computer display. It was not working but I can't find why it's not working. I don't even get a blue/orange light.

    Fuse is OK, it reads 1,2 ohms. I fully recapped the power board. Voltages on the cable that goes to the logic board seem to be OK and stable. I resoldered the whole board just in case.

    I took the mosfet out of the board. It has written "A 2761I 826390". I tested it and I got no resistance or continuity, doesn't matter where I put the probes.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    If the power board voltages are okay, then a no power LED suggests something wrong with the main board.

    There is one voltage regulator that I can see right by the connector cable.

    What is the part number and voltages on each pin wrt to ground?

      It's a classic AS1117L-3.3

        At 3.22, it is 2.42% out.

        (3.3 - 3.22)/3.3 = 2.42%

        I use a 1% tolerance rule because that is what I learned from PlainBill. Others like budm use a bigger number like 2-3%. Datasheets also vary in the degree of tolerance.

        So I would say that voltage regulator is in the "gray" area. If this were my monitor, I would replace it using the 1% rule.

        I fixed an Acer 1716 that had an "obviously" bad regulator because the 1117-18 measured 1.6V (or 11% out).

          I should also point out it also depends on the accuracy of your multimeter. A multimeter that is +/- 1% DC V accuracy may give a false reading if it is out of calibration.

          Also, a low battery will give false readings. Not all multimeters are very good at displaying low battery when they should and give inaccurate readings.

            Re: AOC v173

            Hmmm I see your point but there's a "big" difference between 1.6 and 3.22v. Do you think it's enough for not even lighting up a led?

            I think I've a couple of AS1117L-3.3 here. I'll update you if I've any news.

            I replaced the battery of my multimeter a couple of months ago. It don't use it every day and usually for simple things like reading voltages, low resistances ... I'll see if I have a new battery and replace it. Just to be sure

              Alright, so I changed the voltage regulator. Now the output voltage is 3.28v but no blue/orange light is on :/

                Re: AOC v173

                Have you got voltage and Ground going to the control board, where the on/off switch is etc ??,and if so is that onto the on/off switch and does the switch operate correctly.

                  Re: AOC v173

                  Can we assume you replaced the mosfet with a working one - did you test it prior to replacement.


                  With it all connected up what voltages to you get at the connectors.
                  There is a small startup cap perhaps 50v47u on the primary side perhaps the one next to D804 - if it has gone bad the other voltages will not start.

                  Have you tested U 501 and U502

                    You missed a key part of my post. It was a 1117-18 regulator which means the output should be 1.8V.

                      I guess the control board is working. The resistances there have voltage (don't remember the exact number).

                      I think the mosfet is working. Like I said, it doesn't read any resistance. I tested it even out of the board.

                      I'll check the cap you said but I replaced all of them. There's one next to the mosfet 10uFx25v. I'll check U501 and U502 too.

                      Yes, you're right but I realized after I posted :P

                        Re: AOC v173

                        Ok, so I tested U501 and U502. Both of them have written on it "9962GH 822116".

                        U502, pin 2 (middle): 14,7v
                        The rest pins read 0v.

                        I attached a picture.

                        Also, I tested what I think it's a fuse. It has continuity but I don't know if it's really a fuse.

                        I don't have other control board to test but if I disconnect it, I get 0v on the cable connected to the logic board.

                          It looks like a SMD fuse. It has the 4A 32V F pcb designator so it is a fuse.

                            Yes its a fuse, not seen a fuse up there before anyway you say it tests good.
                            I have been looking for the datasheet for the U501/2

                              Great. I couldn't even find the datasheet.

                              So guys, what do you think? U501 and U502 are shorted or it must be something else?

                                The problem with no indicator light is the main baord not functioning, the shorted MOSEFTs would cause the power supply to stay in shutdown mode which will kill the power to the logic board, but you have indicated that the voltage is OK, then "So guys, what do you think? U501 and U502 are shorted or it must be something else?" are you saying the MOSFET's tested shorted?

                                  MOSFET seems OK to me. It doesn't read less than 30ohms doesn't matter how. For what I have learned here, a shorted mosfet should read less than 30 ohms.

                                    I did not think so that the MOSFET's are bad either since they are connected directly to the B+ for the inverter power supply. Still need to do more testing of the logic board, since the regulator's voltages are OK now, you will need to look and see if the processor is even active, you will need an Oscilloscope to look at the Xtal and clocking signals to see if they are active or not.
