    Don't buy those $10 PSU "specials". They fail, and they have taken whole computers with them.

    My computer doubles as a space heater.

    Asus Q550LF (Old main laptop, 2014-2022) - Decommissioned and stripped due to a myriad of problems, the main battery bloating being the final nail in the coffin.

    Cant tell from that picture where it is? can you do other shots from further away?
    Is it same as HP19 -see herehttps://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?p=256240#post256240 perhaps pics there will help or you can point out which socket you are at if the boards are the same

      That seems to be the flex cable from the display, just pull upwards with a bit of force because those things are usually glued on the underside, after the flex is free you can unplug the cable from the T-CON board.
      Pics would help.
      Guns don't solve problems. I'll take 12

          Also, after I unplug it, how do I plug it back in without it being a pain in the rear?

              Re: How do I unplug this??

              I figured it out on my own. There is this silver panel with a screw that is SO HARD to get out. I FINALLY got that screw out and unplugged the cable. Thanks for the help anyways!

                This device came in as no power. It is taking 0a current. I noticed a little liquid damage to the LCD connector and cleaned that off. I have 19v at the input mosfets, and on the opposite side of the board, there are several (diodes?) which all have 19v. There is a cap there which has 19v on one side, but 6.5v on the other - how?

                The only other live power rail I have found on the board, is 16V on one of the coils. There doesn't seem to be a 5V or 3.3V present. A couple...

                Xbox one 1540 not taking disc
                by gurj1979
                My Xbox one has stopped taking discs. Sometimes it will trip the power supply and no orange light neither.
                If I'm lucky it will randomly take it after about 10 power reboots.

                I got a new drive, swapped over the board but same thing.
                So I swapped over the motor driver IC, but still same problem.

                Is this turning into a motherboard problem rather than the drive or PCB itself ?

                Help please.

                MSI Katana GF66 - no power on, taking 20v, 0,055A.
                by Maksioja
                Hi guys,

                It's my first post, because till now I found everything on this forum, but I'm little bit stuck now, so I'm asking you for help. It's my first gaming laptop, so I need some advice .

                I bought defect MSI GF66 Katana with GTX3060 GPU.
                First when I open it - you can easily notice - somebody open it before, but I didn't found any tech working for it, just maybe somebody open it for cleaning.

                What I did so far:

                Replaced parts:
                • ALC233 - was exploded
                • APL5934C - was exploded
                • 2x FDPC5018SG - went shorted when I took out UP1666Q.
                • UP9512Q
                ...

                Dear Members,
                This laptop used to work with a 19v 3.4A adapter.
                After 4 years of using it, now, the adapter's output voltage drops to 17v when windows loads up. Then the laptop suddenly turns off.
                Today, I have connected a 19.8v 4.5A adapter to this laptop. Then the adapter's output voltage dropped to 19.4v but the laptop worked fine.
                In addition, I noticed that the cpu power coils get warm to about 50'C but the mosfets are cool.
                All the voltage rails on the mainboard are fine without any reduction except for the 19v rail. All the ICs and coils on the mainboard are...
