    Hello everyone, I come here in search of wisdom and hope.

    I got this laptop with charging problems, apparently it charged ok while turned off but it would not charge while powered on, anyways I was doing initial measurements looking at the voltaje on the ID Pin, it is a 135W DC Adapter and the pin actually measured 1.9V that looks ok, anyways, while doing that, I accidentally shorted the ID pin DETECT(ID) with one of the 20V pins, sparkles and it automatically killed the TVS Diode PD102, and also made a cute burning hole on the middle of the KBC or EC chip UE1, it is a IT8227E-128,...

    [INDENT]Hey everybody, got that specific notebook, bought it second hand. There was no ssd inside I placed the new ssd and tried to start the laptop but the only thing I get when I start up is a black screen and the keyboard is lighted up and changes the colors. No fan spinning ( but the downside is getting warm so the cpu is working I guess) and the led for charging the battery is on. Can't boot into the bios via f2. It's now looking like I bought a brick and got scammed.. can anybody help me out with this problem please?[/INDENT]

    Dell Inspiron 14-5448 - fan turns off and mobo keeps running
    by Felipe_Serra_83
    Hi, everyone. First post of an actual repair. I'm a technician but a complete newbie with laptops.

    So I got this Dell Inspiron to play with.

    No charger, so I connected to my bench PSU.

    The laptop also didn't include: hard disk (I added one of my own for testing, see below) and wireless PCB (but I doubt this could have anything to do with this particular failure).


    ------What it did (and didn't do)------

    1) I turned it on and it powered on. Powered down in 2 seconds by itself.

    2) Removed RAM, changed slot. Same...

    Help me find the short circuit on this WORKING Nvidia GTX1650
    by aaronkatrini
    Hi all,

    Recently picked up this GTX1650 at a local flea market for a low price and wanted to use it on my secondary PC. I first tested the card and saw the fan spin for a split second and then nothing. Immediately I thought of a short circuit. Disassembled and found a shorted SMD capacitor, injected voltage into it (1V/4A) and two Mosfets got hot immediately (QN3103 & QN3107). Desoldered these Mosfets and the card turned back to life.

    Bought replacements from Aliexpress and replaced them afterwards. Tried the card but still the saw the fan spin for a split second...

    When replacing the screen of this MacBook model, the DP855A chip must be moved from the existing screen for the screen to operate properly.
    However, when I removed the DP855A chip from the existing screen, I must have done something wrong and the chip broke.
    Testing the chip pins with a multimeter revealed a short circuit inside the chip.

    Samsung/UN65H6300AF LOGO APPEARS AND SHUTS OFF
    by Super360
    Hi as you can see from title, I have a samsung tv here that will show the smart tv logo and then no picture after that even hitting input or menu on remote and shows nothing but the backlight still appears to be on. The tv will turn itself off after a minute or so automatically. I'm somewhat confused if this is either a eeprom problem or a bad led strip problem. The power supply makes a pretty noticeable humming sound when it's turned on leading me to believe one of the leds are shorted but idk honestly. Any of you guys have any help for me? I have a good multi meter and can take pictures of whatever...

    Is it no harm to replace with capacitor without ripple current rating?
    by chth96
    When I tried to repair LG 29 inch CRT TV, I found that the ESR value of samyoung SMS capacitor(160v 2.2uf), which is very close to D1879 transistor, is 6 ohm.

    Hi All,
    Laptop: ASUS F15 TUF Dash FX517ZC-HN114W

    Context: When I was out the house my partner hard shutdown laptop while BIOS was updating, so my son has no working laptop now. Also as a result I know the BIOS on the chip is messed up so I can’t extract it using the ch341a and use it to perform the method explained on site to modify an update downloaded from the ASUS website to get the BIN to flash.

    If anyone can help with a BIOS BIN/ROM file for this laptop, I would be forever in your debt! Thanks if you can help!

    LG 43LH510V Backlight problem
    by unimatrix93
    Hello everyone,

    I'm trying to fix a small LG TV with wierd issue.

    So I check that the display is OK by fashing a lamp at the screen. LCD is okay OSD is showing up.
    Now since the BL is dark, I disconneted the BL from the mainboard and I injected voltage to it with my blacklight tester.
    The BL turns on, the tester shows around 80V. So the led strips are okay it seems.

    Now I started to suspect the BL driver IC which is a MP3378.
    I have a donor board (dead cpu) with the same IC, so I swapped the driver IC but it did not solve the issue.

Some one was in here before me and they basically burned the bottom side of the traces off for the radial cap but i was able to repair it without any real problem. I thought i did a good job sourcing out replacement caps but apparently not and now i can't get the power supply to turn on it just constantly try's to keep turning on.

    Now I am not yet at home, but when it happens I do get separate window error message and will post it later.
    Then again there are moments when I could play for like an hour and no errors.
    From my experience reading about this issue, this means my GPU is dying, correct?
