    GSC: Does it stand for "Glory Smooth Company"?

    I am wondering if GSC stands for "Glory Smooth Company".

    (I also saw a few GSC capacitors on a 1998 mainboard - all of them were good, so therefore GSC was established for several years).
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

      I thought it was "Great Shitty CrapCo."

          Can't answer whether it's the same or not... GSC's website has evaporated.

              sometimes they change their company name when they realise how silly the old style chinese names were. it is not clear if they are different companies. interesting to see the GSC site is down.

                  Really, I thought it meant 'Generally Sh*tty Capacitors'. Now, I wonder what 'YEC' and 'OST' stand for...

                  edit: forgot the 'electronic' part. Also I negle :P

                  The ever-amazing (and ever-affordable) KY, Chemi-con's best kept secret.

                  I'll probably be the only person going to SteamOS once it gets out of beta (ha ha.)

                      One of my fave cultural oops company names was a P/S company from Korea called "Torch" (back in the 80s, probably not around anymore). "Sparkle" is interesting ... Delta is confusing in the US, it being used in other, better known industries. When I worked at Tandem Computers, it was easily confused with Tandon (FDD mfr in the 80s) and Tandy.

                          "Glory Smooth Company"

                          Sounds like a back alley massage parlor, happy ending is extra

                              Samsung UN65NU6900FXZA Stand-by light on but voltages on PS indicate TV should be on
                              by DXseekerMO
                              Hello everyone!

                              Tonight I picked up a Samsung UN65NU6900FXZA with a curious issue.

                              Symptoms:

                              1) Plug TV in to AC outlet, stand-by light illuminates briefly and goes out.
                              2) TV does not appear to turn on
                              3) Backlights do not illuminate, voltages associated with backlights on Power Supply are not present
                              4) "Power on" terminal on Power Supply has 3.26v
                              5) "A13V" terminals have 12.9v
                              6) Stand-by test jumper on Power Supply has 12.9V
                              7) Optical audio jack on Main Board illuminates
                              8) With stand-by...

                              by FriedFred
                              Hello, everyone!
                              I have here a Schenker VIA 15 PRO, with this numbers on the board: PF 4NU1F V1.0 and P/N: MBPPF4NU18-F310 .
                              I took out the memory and the battery and the SSD.

                              So, in stand-by, only the board, takes 36mA. No power-button pressed at all, I can measure 1.8V, 3.3V, 5V. All coils present voltages except the two power rails for the CPU. The CPU is a AMD Ryzen 5 4600H.
                              After pressing the power-button, the current raises to 500mA and the two power rails for the CPU show up with 0.8V.
                              After several seconds, the fans switch-off and the board keeps powered...

                              Hello everyone,

                              I bought an OLED65C1 refurbished TV back in 2022 from a shop. The TV is awesome, this is my first OLED and I really love it.

                              However I have an issue with the TV since the end of last year. I noticed when my TV is in Stand-By, sometimes the LED goes off then comes back on. When do so it seem periodical. It only goes away for 1-2 seconds, than comes back on. The TV NEVER turnes off, while it's on, so it's not overheating issue or electrical power issue.

                              I bought a service remote (MKJ39170828) and checked the menu 3. Power On/Off Status. I took...

                              Vizio E400i-B2 missing stand-by voltage
                              by DXseekerMO
                              I picked up this Vizio E400i-B2 with no stand-by light and diagnosed it with missing stand-by voltage. I found a Power Supply at ShopJimmy, installed it but it didn't work properly. SJ refunded the transaction and did not ask me to send the board back.

                              So I took some voltage readings upon the original board. Here's what I found:

                              Main caps have 169.9v

                              AC detect voltage is 1.3v

                              None of the MOSFETS appear to be short.

                              The opto (IC106) that appears to have something to do with stand-by voltage has 3.0 volts on terminal 1...
