Working on the dead power supply of my subwoofer, seems like that the resin or glue that they put on the board got conductive somehow as i could not get an accurate reading on my multimeter and esr meter to check the components. I started scraping them off and from there i was able to identify couple of bad caps and diodes and had them replaced. I now have 5V supply and 12V but could not get the V+ to output 50V i am getting really low voltage on it not even making it to 3V. Any pointers or advise will be helpful as i am kind of lost in troubleshooting this power supply. BTW i have checked the rest of the componenta and they seem fine, no shorts either. I have attached pictures of the board im working on right now. Thanks for your help in advance!

Did you have any success with this? I think mine is bad as well. Haven't found any bad parts yet though.
When I turn it on, no noise, lights, except the green led on the back. When I turn it off, after about 3-4 seconds, the blue LED on the front turns on for a sec or two, then turns off. One thing I did notice, is when turned on, I get a very faint clicking sound (or arcing sound?) coming from the supply board. Doesn't happen when the smaller of the connectors is connected to the green amplifier board.
Which parts did you find were bad? Were you getting 12V on the smaller connector and/or the larger connector?

by SoulzinkHi everyone,
I am trying to fix a samsung washinmachine power supply main board.
I already replaced it with another one to fix the machine but i want to try understand the issue with the old board.
Therefore i hope to be able to get some help to explain what to check in order to troubleshoot.
The power supply board reference is the following: DC41-00189a
I have followed one thread (https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...ingmachine-rel... -
by GLISITHi all,
TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!
I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?by Tynan DillI was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.
Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.
I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.
The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.
With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

by sam_sam_samI have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails
I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time... -
by JimBanvilleThe sub developed a constant popping every couple seconds from woofer and power LED flickering with nothing but wall AC connected. Connecting an audio cable didn't change anything. It doesn't play but a second or two of audio in between the pops.
Opened it up and discovered the power supply is making a faint clicking or ticking sound.
I measured the amp's output to the woofer and it pulses up to 50mv DC to be driver. The pulses coincide with the power supply ticking/clicking.
I measured the power supply output going to the amp board and it too has this pulsing. Voltage cycles...-
