    IR lamp Medisana IR 850 ,Identifying 14 pin chip

    Hello,

    I have a non-working IR lamp Medisana IR 850.

    Initially, when I plug the item into mains I had to press the button once to start it. The function is pretty simple - every button press add 5 min to timer (probably the unknown IC I am looking for) up to 15mins. The main problem was that the relay was not closing for some reason and the lamp did not glow.

    I found the problem which was a blown zener dionde, but unfortunately while measuring on live my probe slipped and shorted the black capacitor next to the zener diode with mains and it blew up...

    I've replaced the capacitor and the zener and from this time the circuit is no longer working. What is happening is once I plug the item into mains every possible LED light up and the board is not responding to the button. I've checked every possible component that could be checked and what's left is the unknown U2. Do you think it's possible to find what's the IC? From what I see the pinout is the following:

    1, 2, 3 - controlling timer indicator (1 active led = 5min, 2 active led = 10mins, 3 active led - 15 mins)
    4 - VCC
    5, 6 - NC
    7 - connected to the button and also to positive through resistor
    8, 9, 10 - NC
    11 - GND
    12 - this is controlling the relay. If I pass more than 7.5V to this pin the relay is closing
    13 - responsible for running a fan which connector is located on the right side of the board
    14 - main LED indicating the item is running, not sure if it has other responsibilities...

    I found some marking on the bottom of the chip, but probably useless.. Check the attachments for more information.
    Any suggestions are welcome.

    Thanks.

    it's a microcontroller.
    what / where is "u1" ?

      U1 is voltage regulator located in the top left corner next to the relay.

        What Zener Diodes on a Linear Power Supply
        by caspian
        Dear members,

        I have a linear variable power supply with unknown brand name that I used for voltage injection.
        Then it failed. I discovered that its transistors (Q1 and Q2) are shorted.
        In addition, I discovered that its zener diodes are defective.
        I can replace the burned transistors.
        But I do not know the model of the zener diodes. the model number is not marked on the zener diodes.
        Therefore, I cannot replace the zener diodes.
        I do not want to test the zener diodes in a test circuit to discover their model or value.
        no schematics are available...

        On M-Audio AV40 active studio speaker's two zener diodes get really hot.
        by Dvsr
        Hi. I need help from wiser guys. I am amateur in electronics and can't figure this out by myself.
        I bought faulty speakers, M-Audio AV40's. Other speaker has all the electronics in it and the other speaker is just passive one powered by the other speaker's amp. Original problem with the speakers was loud buzzing. I figured out that there is something wrong with the capacitors. I went ahead and replaced every electrolytic capacitor on the PCB. The caps are good quality and have the same values as the original ones.
        After replacing the caps I started testing out the speaker. It seemed...

        Garage door RX unit (Cardin S38C) does not short relay to send opening signal
        by CoinCoin88
        Hello everyone,

        I'm turning to the Badcaps community to help me troubleshoot the radio Rx card from my (old) garage door opener. While I could just ditch that card and replace the whole system, I first would like to understand "why" it suddenly stopped working, because that's just how I am wired...!

        Some basics: the receiver works on a 30.875 Mhz frequency. Yes, I'm aware this is not in use anymore in a looot of places. It does not use any rolling code, it's just a regular dip-switch code that you have to set up on both the receiver and transmitter. The receiver...

        9V relay temperature 40C
        by jm1234
        Hi, I'm seeing one 9V relay having temperature 40C on its 9V (primary) side. Does that seem right? I switched 2 relays on that board and the temperature was the same (on the same position), so I'm sure it's not a faulty relay. I measured voltage on that relay and it was 9.5V DC, so that looks good. I don't see any other relay on that board having that kind of temperature and they have 9V on them too.
        I thought maybe the transistor that is switching this relay keeps switching on/off, so I also checked for AC and there was almost none: 0.3V using mV range. No steady frequency was shown, but...
