    Lg 1953t smps pwm

    There's no switching happening on the main transformer on this LG 1953T. no 12V out, no 5V out.

    I put a scope on U101 which is a FAN7601 PWM controller:


    pin 1 -Start up- getting 160VDC off the bus (bus reads fine at 167VDC)

    pin 2 - Current Sense/Feedback - is 0.13V so it is not being shut down here (>1V will shut it down)

    pin 3 - Latch/SS - comes up to 1.5V as expected during start-up then goes to 0V (over 75ms)

    pin 4 - RT/CT - is clocking

    pin 5 - ground

    pin 6 - Out - nothing... flat line.. I want a square wave here to drive the FET. I can see some noise on here when it first connects to AC but then it goes away and never comes back.

    pin 7 - VCC - is going from 8V to 12V as expected, it looks like the Startup current is charging the cap. It drops from 12V to 8V over the 75ms startup time.

    pin 8 - Vref - steady 5V.

    Schematic attached. FET checks out - no shorts.

    pins 5/6/7 are not shorted so the internal transistors seem to be ok. Looking for some thoughts before I go to the trouble of ordering another FAN7601.

    THanks!

    PS. I do this in my spare time for a non-profit ethical computer recycling organization that provides these monitors to low income families, schools, etc.

    Check C103. It may be bad without visible bloating. I don't have an ESR meter so I routinely replace these startup caps unless it is a known good brand like Rubycon or Panasonic.

    If C103 is good, then see if D201, D202 and D103 to see if they are shorted.

      The FAN7601,is one that I have seen fail on a number of occasions,so would not be surprised if that is the cause.

        Check your FET has no gate-source short.

          This is what I wanted to hear - that it is not an invincible NEV-R-Fail IC. Thanks!

            If the fet isn't shorted G-S as mentioned above, yes, definitely the IC. Looking at the datasheet, this is yet another variation of the classic UC3842, with a couple more bells and whistles. You could sub in a 3842, but this one looks a bit more work than it's worth it... since it's still available, buy it. I replaced a FAN7554 by a UC3842, but that one only differs by one pin.
