    I am thinking the inrush device cut off the power supply when too much current is drawn.. But I will replace it to see what happen.
    So I replaced the PTC with a similar device extracted near incoming live input from another power board. Powered up and immediately a tiny spark is seen, and nothing else happened. Restored the original PTC, does not work already..

    On quick check - the C106M appeared faulty. Pulled this out of circuit - Gate is shorted to Anode and Gate is opened to Cathode. With DMM black probe on Cathode, red probe on Anode, then "shorting" the gate with red probe, nothing happened. So I believe this SCR is already fried..

    Could this SCR been faulty in the first place ??

        I have a feeling that this might have been the case

            Happy New Year

            Latest update:
            I have replaced the C106M, and it does not have the same "click-on-click-off" sound every 5 seconds anymore. And the incandescent bulb connected in series does not light up on starting up with the load. But then again, it actually does nothing...

            Meaning, it reading 250Vdc across the 2 output pins without load, and read 0Vdc when connected the solenoid... When connected to the incandescent bulb or the DC motor, nothing happen...

            So, I ran out of idea what else to do with it, and decided to give it up... I salvaged some parts are spares, and discarded the chiller..

            Thank you Sam_sam_sam for working with me all along, have a great 20201!

                    The replacement should be C106MG, available from digikey C106MGOS-ND

                        AcuRite 5 in 1 temperature sensor replacement repair
                        by CapLeaker
                        Got a new victim:

                        AcuRite 5 in 1 Iris outdoor weather station not updating the temperature / humidity anymore. The original sensor is a SHT21. Also there are identical other sensor manufacturers. I chose the HTU21D to replace the original SHT21. Both have identical specs. I've had two failure modes with these sensors.
                        A: outside temp stuck at -40? It's cold here at times in Canada, but not that cold!
                        B: stuck at some temperature and maybe updating once in 12 hrs or so.

                        Easy solution is to go to AcuRite website and purchase the sensor. Right?...

                        Wine Chiller - SMPS issue - fluctuating voltages
                        by beetle1303
                        My wine chiller, TECNO SW-126LCD, is semi-functional - it powers up, can set temperature, and chilled to the set temperature, and cuts off compressor, etc. It however runs very hot.

                        Upon taken out the PSU and did some basic check - 5V output to LCD panel buttons and display is stable, but there is no 12V output to LED lights, and fans.

                        Further checks found the secondary side voltage is fluctuating around 8-15V range, but the 7805 regulator seems ok and producing the stable 5V output.

                        Checking further on the primary side: Incoming line input to bridge...

                        Temperature to remove chips from motherboard
                        by asdas09
                        What temperature with the heat gun should be use to remove large and small chips from the laptop and mobilephones motherboard? My problem is that the chips not easily remove from the motherboard, example 380°C degrees. I don't know if there is a difference with the devices that the temperature is not stable with them even it shows the right temperature, what should it be? I don't know if I should use higher temperature but the risk of destroying other components?

                        I have device Sugon 202. I'm used also normal flux and rosin flux.

                        Vintec V160SGB wine chiller - thermostat replacement
                        by beetle1303
                        My vintage wine chiller, Vintec model# S160SGB, mechanical thermostat failed (not cutting off compressor at set temperature anymore).
                        After some initial research, this is a Dasfoss 25T65 EN 60730-2 part number.
                        While this part is generally still available in some online portal, it is fairly expensive. There are many digital thermostat available with some simple rewiring, but I am hoping to preserve it with a with a less expensive mechanical equivalent part.

                        Anyone familiar can recommend some less expensive equivalent?...

                        ISL95880HRTZ desoldering temperature
                        by Dreigas
                        Hello,

                        I bought from China ISL95880HRTZ (3+1+1 Voltage Regulator with Expanded ICCMAX Register Range Supporting IMVP8 CFL/CNL CPUs) chip, which I think is not the original one, but anyway, I tried to resoldering it with a 380C hot air station. Seems soldering is pretty good, but the laptop doesn't work (it worked before, but still had some problems with power delivery).
                        Is there any big chance, that they sent me two fake ISL95880HRTZ chips or did I just use too big temperature for desoldering? I will try with another chip, but I can't find any info about the maximum desoldering...
