      Your previous two posts used acronyms and other terms I'm unfamiliar with, and therefor, don't know how one would test them.
      • SC Board
      • Vce sat
      • peak pulsed current rating
      • case construction (it varies?)


      I'm also still confused about the reason why all of the N-channel fet's that I have removed, test OL on all the pin combos. But attached to a board, most measure correctly? It'd be one thing if they all came from one tv, but I'm taking parts from two other tvs and from an extra zsus board. Plus in the LG guide it lists the fet's by the num/letters printed on the front, but some also have a subset that I don't understand? For example fet RF2001 has D301-306, D311 & D312. What do the D___ mean?
      They test differently because they're in circuit and have diodes across them generally speaking, no shorts is good. Out of cct you need to switch the gate on with a charge and go back and test the collector/Emitter .

      This video helped me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfV7gYChILc

      I only started working with IGBTs on sustain boards about 12months ago and I'm pretty sure I threw out a good IGBT thinking it was open cct until Tom pointed out to me they needed to be switched on.

      I thought I had already touched on this. "D" locations are diodes, "Q" are transistors, "ZD" zener diodes

      The RF2001 you refer to is only a partial number,but what comes after that is important. RF2001 is a ROHM 20A fast recovery diode, the suffix will tell you what voltage and configuration eg single or double diode etc etc
      [*]SC Board = Panasonic SC = YSUS, YMAIN, Panasonic SS = XSUS, ZSUS [*]Vce sat- to be honest I take it as the voltage for it to be switched on fully but I'm not too sure. I assume you'd want a value =< what the original was. [*]peak pulsed current rating - short burst current rating usually quoted in microseconds. There's a continuous current rating and pulsed.
      From what I've seen so far the IGBTs on the sustain boards have around the 200A pulse rating. [*]case construction (it varies?) the type and size of casing it's housed in. You can get TO-220 as a full plastic case or with a metal backing or tab which is usually connected to the center pin. With the metal backed you'd have to use an insulator if mounting to a metal heatsink so it does not create a short. The full plastic would not need an insulator. the FETs your chasing are plastic but it's possible a sub exists in a metal back in which case an insulator would be needed to use it.

      A TO-247 transistor may do the job but it's much larger and the pin positions also may differ and would not fit.

      I'm sure someone will explain it all better, best I can do for now.

        Understanding capacitor ratings
        by Byte_76
        Hi, I have some capacitors that I need to replace on a graphics card.

        I've attached pictures for reference.

        Please help me to understand the ratings so that I can order the correct replacements:

        1. G7 560 2.5E - I believe these are for vcore
        • Is this 560uF and 2.5V?
        • What does the "E" mean?
        • Is there any relevance to the "G7"

        2. ECX 17 560 2.5V - I believe these are on the memory phase
        • Another 560uF at 2.5V?
        • This is on the same graphics card. If the caps are rated the same as those above, why are they a different type?
        ...

        Bricked HP Probook 450 G7 Bios questions
        by studdy05
        Hp Probook 450 G7 s# SCD0348W35 had a locked BIOS. Bought BIOS and EC chips off Ebay that were supposed to match this machine - the 450 G7. Flashed in the BIOS on chip i bought using a CH341. BIOS unlocked next boot. Some error to contact HP. Entered BIOS and reset to system defaults and rebooted. Machine worked fine but every cold boot the contact HP message popped and everything else worked as fine. Assumed the error was from EC chip not matching BIOS that i just flashed in. So i flashed in the EC that was supposed to match from the EBay chip i bought and instant brick.

        Ive got...

        Questions About USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 and USB4 Designs: Type-A vs Type-C, MUX Requirem
        by electronx
        Hi everyone,

        I’m currently learning about the USB protocol and designing a project, but I’ve encountered a few questions that I couldn’t find clear answers to. I’d really appreciate your input!

        1. USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 with SuperSpeed Type-A Connector
        According to the USB 3.2 specification, it states that USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 can support a SuperSpeed Type-A connector. This raises a question:

        If we use a SuperSpeed Type-A connector, the system would only utilize 1 lane for data transfer, leaving 1 lane from the host unused. Is this configuration valid,...

        Need Help Identifying Parts on a crossover and a few other newbie questions
        by UL161
        Hi I am trying to refurbish this crossover with some higher quality poly-caps/parts... The speaker is a in-wall Polk 65-RT... Key questions I have are:

        1) What in the world is the yellow part on the board (label is MET 1.0J 100V)?... Should I even consider replacing it?
        2) The 470uF cap.... Does anyone know have a suggestion as to where I can find a reasonable audio quality polycap near that value? (or at least 3 160s or the like?) { I don't want to spend $70 just to replace this one if I can) (maybe even someone looking at this circuit could even tell if this cap is important...

        newbie questions
        by cloghin
        Apologies if I am asking the wrong questions , but not sure how else to start:

        I have an A2251 / 820-01949 Mac book pro with no power, 20 v on USBC meter and 0.05 Amps. Following this link ( below)

        * Do I need to remove the board from case so I can access its other side ? The link calls for measuring PP3v3_S5 ( I suppose this is in diode mode with positive probe on ground) , but I don't know how to do that without removing the board from case.
        * I have the FlexBV board , are the values displayed in volts diode mode only ? Because my etekcity multimeter shows...
