Hello,
I'm new on this board, in fact, this is my first thread. Hoping to not be too rude, I'm going to explain why I'm here asking you for help.
I own a Polycom Dect system which suddenly stopped working, my wish, is to be able to fix it up.
This system takes its power from a PoE subsystem which seams to work properly.
The Ethernet switch which suppliws the power, reports it have negotiated the PD with it, which among other things, it means that remote PoE device is working.
Still she system does not start, and a switching regulator which is on the board, becomes incredibly hot.
Supposing the switching regulator was faulty (ST Micro L4973d3.3) and it was the root of my problems, I tried to replace it.
During the replacement process, bu after I powered up the device at least a couple of times, I also noticed that a diode marked (top mark code PJ85 - SK56) is shorted on both directions, so I comed to think that maybe this, was the root of my problems.
The diode I'm speaking of is shown in the l4973d3.3 reference design (datasheet) as D1, and seems to have the function of Transient Voltage Suppression, but I'm not sure even of this.
As you may have noticed, I'm approaching the troubleshooting in not professional way, after all I'm not a professional.
Please feel free to give me advices also on this matter, I would appreciated this too.
Here the requests I want to pose you:
* Which probability is that the L4973d3.3 was effectively broken, and which is the probability I broke also the one I used to replace the previous after started the system?
* Is there an easy way to state if any of these regulators are faulty?
* Is it correct to state the diode is bad, just by if I testing it with multimeter if it shows shortcut in both directions? Does this test sufficient to state it is broken? If I need to replace it, where can I lookup top mark code PJ85 to purchase a new one?
* Should I look for other broken components in my board on such situation?
Thank you for any of your answers.
Regards.
