    Re: Would just recapping solve my problem - desoldered MOSFETs

    Regarding the question about a replacement for the NEC 2SK3405 (K3405) may I add the following: on my GIGABYTE GA-7VA the same FET got burnt. I replaced it with a FAIRCHILD FDB6030L from a scrap motherboard. Now it is back to life again.

      if you replaced the fet's, and its living again, definitely recap it. the crap caps are what cause the FET's to die in the first place (gigabyte boards are notorious for this). Replace those nasty 330uF 25v choyo's as well. It's safe to use a 6.3v cap in place of those 25v choyo's, I typically replace them with 470uF caps. ...but yea, definitely recap it, it'll save you future FET replacements.

        I second that,replace all of the filters in the vrm circuit,that was the reason why the fet shorted out to begin with,they usually dont short for no good reason.

          Anyone got any tips for safely removing and replacing FETs? I'm having serious trouble getting them off.

            edit: never mind, worked it out . Quick question. Are these two components interchangeable and am i right in deducting that the Infineon 06N03LA is superior to the Advanced Power 9918H? (data sheet attached)

            I'm pretty sure my ASUS board is fitted with the Advanced Power FETs, while i have a good deal of the Infineon units available from a Foxconn board (that also carried some nice juicy Rubycon MBZs that i'll be using to replace the UCC KZGs (they're higher capacity, have lower ESR and higher Ripple stats)

            I'm trying to get the ASUS power delivery as good as it can be for overclocking experiments.

              Harman Kardon sub TS11 (ds15 amplifer) blows fuse and mosfets
              by BlackScreen_22
              Hi, I'll start by saying that I'm not an expert and I've reached a point where I don't know what to try/do anymore...
              Starting from the beginning: I opened this subwoofer for the first time with a very strong smell of burnt electrical components, I realize that on the amplifier board there is a hole between V+ OUT and GND about the size of a finger, the damaged components were the shorted mosfets, two damaged zener diodes and two capacitors. I bought everything, I fixed the hole by cutting the pcb and putting a piece of a perforated board.
              I had no problems connecting mosfets and capacitors,...

              Intel D865PERL - no Vcore after replacing MOSFETs and MOSFET drivers
              by kotel studios
              Hi,

              Finally got time to fix this board up.
              At first it didn't give any POST codes. Turns out it was an unsupported Celeron D cpu. After dropping in an Celery 2.6gHz the CPU came out of reset with clock signal, but still no post codes. For a while it did work when I applied pressure to the ADP3168 chip, but on next reboot the MOSFETs started to burn. Then I left it as is for months.

              Now I came back prepared. Replaced the bad MOSFETs and the ADPxx18k drivers. Now I don't get any MOSFETs blowing up issues anymore. But sadly, the Vcore is missing. The whole VRM isn't...

              Gainward Phantom GTX 980 - mosfets w/ integrated driver NCP5369
              by flerre
              Hi!

              Managed to get a Gainward Phantom GTX 980 in an auction for a bin with components.
              No video out so I started fault finding and found a blown fuse for 3 mosfets. Started checking for shorts and found what I think is a short through all of those 3 mosfets; 0.1 ohms between "VIN" input and "VSWH" output. All mosfets in this gpu are the same ones (NCP5369) with integrated drivers and when I tried measuring the other ones through these ports they were somewhere in the kilo-ohms range.

              So, could I safely assume all of these 3 mosfets are...

              Lenovo Ideapad 15IIL05, turns on and off with charger BUT works by injecting 20v after main mosfets
              by NanoTesting
              I got a 15-IIL05 that failed to turn on BUT IT DID TRY TO TURN ON and then turned off after 30+- seconds, i disassembled it and found a screw loose inside the case.
              With charger it turns on, fan spins but gives no image.
              Tested main mosfets no short, tested 3.3v,5v,DRAM, CPU etc and they were present.
              Reflashed BIOS, same problem.
              Replaced both main mosfets.
              Checked main mosfets again and i noticed that they closed once the laptop shut down, so i decided to bypass them and used a bench PSU to check how much power the laptop was drawing while trying to turn on, 20v@3A,...

              Pioneer VSX-859RDS with all mosfets gone
              by debruina
              Hi,

              I am working on a pioneer VSX-859. It started with only one problem but i ended up with a lot more. Probably caused by me

              Anyway it started with a DSP NG message on the display. That one was easy and was caused by a bad 5v rail. Replaced the capacitors and the message was gone. Everything seems to be working except for a blob sound every time i switched from source. Eventually i tracked that down to a leaking battery on the analog board. Repaired some via's and lines and everything worked ok. That same circuit also caused a not working DCdetect protection. ...
