    simple DIY voltage monitor

    I am designing a simple circuit that can catch a narrow glitch in voltage fluctation, and presented in visual/audio way, with as little as posible common type components. The circuit is done on test board and work like I wish. I post schematics here and like to hear a voice of educated electrician, hopefully to insight of some flaw or better design. Thank you

    Is this a cable tester or is it something more than that

    If it is something else please explain what you are going to use it for and explain what you are testing for

      Yes, it can be used as cable tester, but only one wire at the time. In this case the wire must have power in it, which is done by 1.8v power led supply, connection 2-3. If the wire lose connection in a fractial of time, or generate resistance greater then threshold, it beep and the state stay logged on LED. It also can be "self monitored" at some degree, with pins 2-3 connected together with jumper.................. Ocassionally, I need to be sure that some voltage stay all the time in some margin, so the device mostly produce handy audio notifycation if is something out of spec. Target is "one options more" in troubleshooting methods in repair, but real usage and usability is jet unknown...................... It is measurement device for general purpose, use it where it needed. I just work on universal pcb arrangement as a accessible and fast option to build for everyone. I just want to see and examine by profesionals before I do that

        Unfortunately unless you build the device you are not going to know exactly how it will respond in the real world testing because I have found in my endeavors the true value of a device is not known until you test the hell out of it

        This also true for proof of concept projects as well

          Help identifying voltage regulator on this concept 2 pm5 monitor pcb board?
          by artvandalai
          This Concept 2 rower pm5 monitor doesn't shut down. It keeps turning on and stays on after being turned off. I read on another forum by another user that replaced the same component to check the voltage regulator.
          The monitor should pull around 35mA when turned on and in shutdown it should drops to around 0.060mA. Any advice on finding the voltage regulator on this board to check if it needs to be replaced?

          Burned Voltage Regulator in Monitor – How to Identify and Repair?
          by deep000
          My computer monitor ASUS VP249H stopped working, and smoke came out of it.
          I opened it and found that a voltage regulator had burned out.
          The problem is that I can't identify its reference.
          I searched online for schematics or photos of similar boards that people are selling, but without success (no schematics, bad quality of the board or lack of the reference when it's a good quality 😅).
          How can I find its reference, and do you think it's repairable?
          Monitor: Asus VP249H
          Board reference: 0171 - 2271 - 6083
          Thanks

          HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
          by momaka
          Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

          AOC AG493UCX 49-inch monitor - Firmware request
          by wattage
          Hello Badcaps Community,

          I purchased a preowned AOC monitor that is not working and out of warranty. It was sold as not working. I am looking for guidance on self-repair. In particular, I am after the firmware for the monitor. At the end, I have included monitor model information and links to pics and vids of the issue.

          The problem is that it will not display a picture on any of its inputs. And the on-screen menu does not appear. The power button works properly. It powers on with the remote as well. But the on-screen menu does not appear, even when not connected to any...
