    I'm struggling with a mystery issue.

    Hi friends;

    I'm struggling with a mystery issue. Please help me by giving your expert comments on this….

    I'm troubleshooting somewhat old "YF-1150A" capacitance meter. When I received it didn't work at all. I found some signaling transistors got burnt. Having replaced them, I was able to fix major issues and now it's reading is almost correct. However, after 3,4 hours of repairing , the meter's idle value is changed to -00.2,-00.2…-0.4 (idle value should be 00.0 when any button is not pressed.).

    The mystery I found was this, when the idle value is changed (to -00.4 or -00.6) If I remove some parts (ex: transistor, capacitor..) from the PCB and resold them again as they were on the board, idle value comes to "00.0" again. but after 2,3 hours it go wrong as it was.

    So I thought this can be a result of a "bad capacitor" somewhere in the PCB. so I replaced all caps and checked all transistors. But the issue remains same.


    This meter circuit is based on The ICL7106 A/D converter. Please see the diagram and pics I have attached herewith. Could you please let me know what should I check…

    Thanks


    *** however i found that wrong voltages come to ping 30 and 31 (IN+,IN-) of that ICL7106 A/D converter "+" and "-" is changed!!!!!

    MacBook Air A2337 (820-02016) USB-C Port Issue – Only Works in One Orientation (CC Line Problem?)
    by rounin
    Hi everyone,

    I'm working on a MacBook Air 2020 (A2337, board 820-02016) and running into a strange USB-C issue. I've gone through quite a bit of testing and part replacement, but I'm stuck — hoping someone here can shed some light.

    🛠 Original Issue
    The machine initially wouldn't negotiate 20V over USB-C — stuck at 5V.
    Diagnosis showed PP1V5_UPC0_LDO_CORE shorted to ground.

    I replaced U3100 (UF400) using a donor board (A2179), and the machine powers on fine now.

    Three 820-01700 32GB Logic Boards Same Issue: Won't Wake From Hibernate
    by ugamazing
    I have three identical-spec 820-01700 boards (2.6/32/512), and ALL THREE boards came to us with the same fault, from different sources: The boards don't wake from hibernation with the keyboard or lid, they ONLY wake when you press the power button. I understand this is a very minor issue, but the boards must be fixed!

    We will of course begin with the obvious (checking lid signals), but I couldn't help but notice these three boards were all 32GB variants. Has anyone noticed an issue relating to these 32GB boards in particular? I of course don't think it's a RAM issue, but it's bizarre...

    Alienware 15 R2 Service Tag: DL7NN32 ISSUE (Battery is not charging)
    by Simone Vergani
    Hello everyone,

    I'm experiencing an issue with my Alienware 15 R2 (Service Tag: DL7NN32). The laptop works perfectly when connected to the AC adapter — it powers on and functions normally. However, the battery does not charge. If I disconnect the DC adapter, the laptop shuts down immediately, as the battery is at 0%. I have replaced the battery with a new compatible one, but the issue persists. I also replaced the AC adapter with a compatible one, but the battery still doesn't charge.

    To assist with troubleshooting, I'm attaching two power circuit schematics:

    Hello everyone,

    I am experiencing a BIOS-related issue with my Dynabook Satellite Pro C50D-B-100. When I power on the laptop, the screen stays black, and there is no response from the system. I suspect a corrupted BIOS.

    I have checked the forum and the available documentation but could not find a solution specific to my issue.

    LG OLE65C1 Stand-By issue
    by Titus6
    Hello everyone,

    I bought an OLED65C1 refurbished TV back in 2022 from a shop. The TV is awesome, this is my first OLED and I really love it.

    However I have an issue with the TV since the end of last year. I noticed when my TV is in Stand-By, sometimes the LED goes off then comes back on. When do so it seem periodical. It only goes away for 1-2 seconds, than comes back on. The TV NEVER turnes off, while it's on, so it's not overheating issue or electrical power issue.

    I bought a service remote (MKJ39170828) and checked the menu 3. Power On/Off Status. I took...
