    What is this

    It is on a Sanyo power supply, It looks like it is glas. It does not have continuity, no resistance and no capacitance. What is it and how do I test it.

              It is TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) Gas discharge device, which will conduct when breakdown voltage is reached, you can only check for shorts, you will see the inside will be blackened if it was exposed to real high voltage.

                              How Can I test PWM DM0365R?
                              by chth96
                              Hello
                              I have power adaptor(220V/input, 12V 1.2A/output) which has symptom of fluctuating output DC voltage between 11.5V-12.2V.
                              So I opened its plastic case and when switched it on, I heard constant tik tik sound from inside its PCB.
                              I measured DC voltage between negative and positive pin of the largest capacitor(400v 10uf) and it was measured contant 300V.
                              I also measured ESR value of all capacitors and I noticed that one of capacitor(KMG 16v 470uf), which located in the secondary side, have high ESR value(10 ohm),So I replaced it with same specification NXH capacitor....

                              test active pfc power with lamp test
                              by khelane
                              Hello
                              I have a big problem and that is that in some cases when repairing active pfc power supplies I cannot work with a test lamp. I can only get help with 5 volts standby and for starting and starting I have to work without a lamp and this way there is a possibility of parts exploding and other parts being added.
                              Sometimes with a multimeter test the problems can be reduced to some extent, but I had several cases that had to be tested on and online and recently two varistors exploded. They had terrible resistance because the power supplies were over 800 watts.
                              Is there a way...

                              Mats / mods: detected and repaired GPU fault. Cant seem to test after!

                              Hello.

                              GPU came in, green lines. Spent lots of time using to get the Mats / mods drive working (found on youtube).
                              Found issue with a RAM block
                              Replaced, green lines gone.
                              Trying to test again, assuming getting the false positive. Originally had over 1K on a single bank. Now getting tosses low between banks.
                              Used a good card to test and same results low errors 32+.

                              I am just search for some form of command to do a full test on the GPU.
                              I just ran the mats command with my good GPU and passed after roughly 40 min.
                              The repaired one, ran...

                              Zombie Samsung UN55NU6900F dead / no standby voltage - randomly came to life after hours of troubleshooting then died
                              by tvguy12012012120
                              This is my first attempt at troubleshooting a board like this, I know I could just buy a new board but I'm curious to figure out how this works. I've been testing different components in the evenings this week and I think the problem is with the IC failing to start up for some reason. When the board is plugged in there is no standby voltage.

                              Then today it randomly sprung to life like a zombie but shortly died thereafter. I have no idea why it would have done that and its the first time I've seen it running. I discharged capacitors on the board last night, then it was sitting today....

                              Yamaha 2064 No sound but Test audio working
                              by hemant_2222
                              Hello Guys,

                              Greetings!

                              Hope you all are doing well.

                              I am looking for suggestion on Yamaha 2064. The problem with this receiver is that it has no sound however when the test tones are activated it does outputs from all the speakers. It is working in two channel stereo mode but when you select other sound modes, it doesn't. The last time it had a problem, I had replaced the DAC
                              PCM1681DBQR - IC263 and it worked fine.

                              Other issue with it is one of the STK ICs is getting more heated then the other one but that can be looked at later.
                              ...
