Blown heated blanker controller. Trying to figure out these smd resistors

[harp]

There is a three pin triac near display, but when I see fault like this, where a few resistor disapear and where these was directly connected to controller... first disconnect that leg of ic, and see if you have diode junction reading to any other. Probably not, and thats is end of story designed to serve newnormal ideas of light green eco ic suicide.
It is sadly to say in this modern time - make your ovvn controler with discrete riggid parts which you can repair if you need.

i didn't notice that triac .

You see on bottom pcb trace signature, and on top is black package, combined with 220v heater what else could be...

Thyristor... 2P4M
Op is lazy... (:

someone broke its heatsink off .

f1 looks like a thermal fuse
the wonky display might not be helping things

True. though doesn't look like any legs were broken.

see what resistance between black and white and blue and brown .

Blue/Brown = 225ohms
Black/white = 944ohms

Check the resistances of the blanket and compare it with the good one before you turn to the controller. Some blankets have a sense wire in addition to the heating one, and if that is damaged the controller responds by effectively committing suicide. The blown resistors may be a symptom of a dead blanket.

Will do, though looks like we might have a receipt here for warranty, so might try getting refund/exchange.

are there any more components under those elevated displays?

none

Sorry, only saw that components this afternoon & had to Google it.

No heat-sink on it. No heat-sink on the working one either. Perhaps there meant to be & without one, it overheating causing as overload of some sort?

[petehall347]

this is how it should be

[petehall347]

how many watts is the blanket supposed to be ?

how many watts is the blanket supposed to be ?

100w.

I put it into my new(ish) component tester. Didn't tell me much I don't think.

[petehall347]

at 225 ohms i calculate about 250w .. but the resistance will change as it heats up so cant really calculate it easy
your tester knows what it is so its maybe good .
