    Re: Always turn the power supply switch off

    I don't have the skills to even find it. Also, why would this cause that shutdown issue?

      no idea, but if it causes a section of the chip to heat up then.....

        By chip do you mean the ICH?

            Z270, old enough to have all USB on the ICH, none on the CPU.

              umm... arent u supposed to unplug the power cord from the socket as well before tinkering with the computer innards? this wouldnt have happened either if u unplugged the power cord first! so unplugging the power cord is not just for esd protection as well it seems!

              well lesson learned... the topic title should be:"always unplug the power cord from the computer before tinkering!!"

                i dont, i just use the power switch.
                that way the cable grounds everything.

                  well for me, i tried that before and that doesnt work for me. after tinkering, i either get power on switch latch problems whereby the mobo doesnt power on from the power switch like there's no power connected at all. i have to hold down the power button from like 15 secs to 1 min to get the system to power on or the second issue is that it manages to power on luckily but i get cmos errors on post. both are symptoms of esd dmg to the mobo. so unplugging the power cord from the socket is the only thing that works for me. i have like 2-3 dead mobos to teach me that lesson from lol!

                    Careful with Newegg. I ordered a New MSI board and what I got was clearly refurbed. It went back.

                      Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
                      by sam_sam_sam
                      I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

                      One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

                      Ubiquiti Unifi PoE Switch US-8-150W Power Supply Failure
                      by shovenose
                      Got this one for free because, well, it no worky.

                      A little research and there are tons of complaints all over forums/the internet about premature failure of these switches. The observation everyone makes about these is "they run hot" and failure occurring as soon as 13 months, right out of warranty, of course.

                      Upon removal of the cover I found a G0398-15011480A power supply that, when plugged in, was making a constant ticking noise. Multimeter confirmed the PSU was the issue. Output was cycling between 0 and about 20V. With output disconnected it sat around...

                      Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                      by Tynan Dill
                      I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                      Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                      I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                      The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                      With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                      Assuming...

                      Micro Momentary Push Switch?
                      by Natob82
                      Great to be here! I'm a newbie here trying to find a "micro", momentary push switch to repair a Sony "clamshell" video walkman. This micro switch has long since discontinued by Sony, however I hope there are third-party switches of the same size and functionality that I might be able to source to play the same role. The purpose of this switch is to tell the video walkman that the user has activated the mechanical tape eject button, turning that physical action into an electronic signal that tells the tape transport mechanism to open so one can load or eject a video tape. I...
