    Split Personality Disorder

    Just recapped an MS6378.

    The peculiar thing is that it had a mix of Rubicon and Lelon caps on it!

    Someone at MSI seems to have a sense of humor!

    they put the lelons where they thought they could cheap out and get away with it.
    remember bean counters run the show.

        Excellent power model IT ATX 300w - shuts down after a split second
        by kotel studios
        Hi,

        Recently I gave a shot at recapping this Excellent power IT ATX 300 lc clone doohickey PSU. After I replaced all bulging caps and the 47uF 50v in 5vsb I turned it on. 5vsb and ps_on are spot on. So I shorted the ps_on and it dies after a split second. 5vsb still is generating, all other lines also generate voltage for a while but they all discharge so fast.

        Now I am sure this isn't a problem with the 5vsb damaging the PWM IC or BJT circuit, but I have no idea where to go next. Maybe replacing all the smaller caps?

        Repair of an LG split AC system indoor unit PCB
        by ngml
        I am trying to repair an LG split AC indoor unit, which does not start and gives a CH05 error code.
        This indicates an error in the communication between the outdoor and the indoor unit.
        The outdoor unit is fine, so the problem is the indoor PCB.
        The indoor unit is an LG PC09SQ NSJ (3SNM09JA2FA), and the PCB has the following type number: EAX35907219-1.2 (see photo1)
        I changed optocouplers ICO1X & ICO2X and the NPN transistor S9013 which drives optocoupler ICO2X (see photo2), but this did not remedy the fault.

        Does anybody have the schematics of this board,...

        Compaq series PDP-124P PSU - dies after a split second
        by kotel studios
        Hi

        I am quite baffled at this PSU that came out from an dead HP d530 (asus P4SD). Tested all the common failed components, all are fine. D2/3 are both fine. Not shorted in any way. Recapped the whole 5VSB board and the PSU came "back" from the dead (earlier there was a short from neutral to earth, went away disassembly). Now even with 5 load HDD's it's still turning off after a split second. All diodes seem to be fine. Caps are OST, which IMO rarely die. There is 3.3v on PS_ON and 5V on 5VSB. Removed most of the glue there was (pictures don't show it). The traces that look...

        Short on PP_VDD_MAIN on iPhone 12, disappears when I split the boards.
        by SarcasticOP
        Hello Wise Ones,

        I am working on an iPhone 12 that fell into a lake and has a short to the main power rail. I do a general look over the board and see no obvious physical issues such as burned-out caps or a split between the boards and the interposer. I separated the top board and the short seemed to disappear. I then checked every test point that I could and they are all not showing a short at all, even the spot where I initially tested. I assumed that something was causing a bridge in the interposer so I removed all the old solder, reapplied some new solder, and sandwiched the boards...
