    Hypertherm Plasma Chopper IGBT Module failure successful repair

    I have several chopper units that need to be repaired but just repaired one of them to see if it could be done successfully which they can be repaired

    The company that makes the IGBT module have discontinued this part as 5/30/2020 which our company has bought 12 IGBT modules which will allow me to repair 6 chopper units ( one note there is no direct replacement availability )

    I am buying these modules directly from the manufacturer
    But there is a 8 week lead time

    Now you can find on EBay for half the price but I have a feeling that might be fake

    If you buy the chopper units from Hypertherm at cost of about $1800.00 each
    I can repair them at cost of about $300.00

    I have 3 more chopper units to repair

    We have a total of 10 chopper units

      Power amplifier SMPS IGBT keeps blowing - Artcoustic PDA1000
      by mikkele86
      hello.

      I have two power amplifiers, both having their IGBT blown on the PSU.
      The original mounted IGBT where marked with IRGB20B60PD1PbF and the gate driver is a IR2156STRPBF.

      I looked at mouser and digikey and could not find any available IRGB20B60PD1PbF and somehow ended up using a Bourns BIDW20N60T.
      I replaced the gate driver, the gate resistor and both IGBT. But as soon power is turned on, both IGBT shorts out completely (gate, emitter, collector) and the fuse on the AC line gets killed.

      So I though i missed a capacitor or diode. I removed...

      Hi all!

      The TV does not turn on, the standby indicator is on. All voltages are present.
      Emms is dead. Not readable, not detected.
      Replaced emmc.
      But with another dump there is no launch

      TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
      by howardc64
      All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
      • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
      • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

      Carrier HK50AA063 display controller common failure help
      by ctroxtell
      I've got a control display for a Carrier chiller that I'm trying to understand what the common failure with these boards are. This is the board in question https://www.supplyhouse.com/Carrier-...arquee-Display all of them seem to develop a failure with the up and down arrow buttons on the right side of the display, the esc and enter keys I've never seen fail. Once these boards are plugged in they run 24/7, you used to have to press extremely hard with the end of the blunt screwdriver and you could still get the arrows to work but now it has completely stopped working. The button...

      Vizio E55-F1 dark backlight zones. LED failure or Dimming Zone Driver?
      by howardc64
      Problem

      Fixing a dimming zone TV with LEDs not lighting up. Dimming zone circuit introduces added variable to diagnose LED and/or Dimming Zone Driver board? Some 1/2 rows of LEDs appears to be out in active dimming zone off AND some brightness flickering with active dimming zone high while playing changing video



      Model & Board Pics



      Conflicting Spec

      Vizio indicate this TV has 10 dimming zones. However, LED strips and Zoned light driver connector suggest 12
