    Most SMPS have a discharge resistor, but if that discharge resistor is open, then the large filter capacitor will be charged.

    Always use a multimeter to check and never assume that even unplugging the device for several hours or days is enough to discharge.

    I ran into this myself. See

    maybe from the three long primary side capacitors not sure how long they store a charge for but i always check these with a multi meter to make sure there discharged

  • Oh that tickled... how long till complete power discharge?

    I was putting the power supply board from a Vizio e701i-a3 in a box and got one heck of a tickle from something. I don't know exactly what i touched but am wondering how much power is present where and how long should I expect the board to be charged after removing the power plug? Attached images of the board.

    Thanks

    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...

    Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
    by PantherDave
    Hi all!

    I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

    I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

    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...
