    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

      MacBook Pro late 2016 (820-00239) with multiple failure modes.
      by npielawski
      I will just preface all this by saying that I have a fairly technical background but have never attempted SMD electronics diagnostics and repair before, I really like the idea and want to learn.

      I have a MacBook Pro late 2016 that died maybe four years ago. Over the course of 30 seconds, it got slower and stuttered, until it froze for a second and died. No click from the trackpad anymore, nothing. I started getting interested in electronics repair and decided to give it a shot, so I opened it, removed the battery (one cell was puffy), took out the motherboard and experimented with...

      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...

      Dell 9310 Memory or RAM (Random-Access Memory) failure (2,4)
      by puccovelli
      Hi all, I hope this is the right place to post.

      I'm having a problem with a Dell 9310 which is posting 2 orange, 4 white lights on startup (hangs on Dell BIOS logo). The service manual says its a RAM failure.

      I've taken the motherboard out and noticed that one of what looks like an SMA 0805 resistor has blown (see photo). The board is an LA-J144P Rev 2.0(A01).

      1] Could someone confirm what the component that has blow actually is (and where I could get another from).
      2] Whether this component is likely to cause the RAM failure issue, and if replacing...

      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.

      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
