    Philips Streamium (MCi900)

    Hey folks...

    I have accepted a work for a client, he came over with this Philips Streamium
    a compact stereo with a Class D amplifier that was dead.

    Fixed the powersupply in the unit a dried out capacitor on the primary
    caused it not to start switching fixed that, now the powersupply works
    all the voltages on secondary is correct 2.2 - 3.2 - 5 - 9 - 12 - 30V etc.

    But the unit fails to boot all i get is a white screen for 10sec then i will see the clock symbol --:-- for 5sec then it goes in sleep sort of the background illumination remains on and it behaves strangely no responce from any keys neither remote.

    I did esr check all the capacitors after this no problems but still not
    my favorite brand CapXon urrrgh but all are fine on the ESR meter
    doubt changing them will make a difference.

    I also noticed if i take the voltage up slowly through the Variac from 0-110-120V (230V mains in sweden) then it boots up to an "emergency firmware restore" function it gets an IP address 192.168.88.28 but it tells me
    no internet, strange all other equipment is going on the same network through
    a MikroTik router. Start thinking could this one block the ports needed for it
    shall try again tomorrow.

    But me personally i believe that the firmware on this device is corrupt, it has a JTAG header so if i can obtain a firmware i could flash it. I also looked to see if it has a serial flash that i could remove and flash too.

    Included the Servicemanual if someone might think of something i missed lol

    Nikon D800 camera - flash don’t work and capacitor don’t charge
    by corrize
    Hello, I'm stuck in troubleshooting…
    The flash system works like that : when the (mechanic) flash button is pressed, the flash mecanically pop up, and a circuit buck boost elevate 7v (batt) to 200-300v (?) for charging the big capacitor. And when the photo shoot button is pressed, the capacitor is discharged in the xeon light.

    In the D800, there is a first « power board » close to the battery. 2 wires (batt 7v) goes to another little « flash board ». I measured 7v, so ok.
    When I press the flash button, it's detected by the system, flash icon appear on LDC display....

    Ubiquiti firmware help. US-8-150W POE
    by gurj1979
    Hi guys.

    I've got a Ubiquiti US-8-150W POE switch which has issues with updating the firmware.
    Turned out to be a bad EEPROM chip. It would read the firmware and work as normal, but failed to write new firmware to it.

    So I took off the chip and read on EEPROM and saved it. Wrote to old chip and failed to write
    Got New chip and writes good.

    THE PROBLEM...
    It fails to fully load the firmware, POE lights fail to work during g firmware test during load. I'm suspecting bad EEPROM Read.

    Does anyone have a Good Firmware I can have?...

    [Help] Lenovo Yoga Slim 7-14ARE05 (DA0LS3MBAF0) – 25Q80DVN1G Flash Is All FF, USB-C PD Stuck at 5V
    by ekozeko333
    Hi all,
    I’m trying to recover a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7-14ARE05 with board DA0LS3MBAF0 Rev:F. I’ve run into an unusual issue where USB-C PD is stuck at 4.7–5V and the system won’t boot (keyboard lights flash briefly, then nothing).
    🔥 The Problem Started After Suspected ESD/PD Fault
    I experienced a power issue or ESD event through a USB-C charger
    After that, the NX20P5090 power switch was visibly burned and was replaced
    Now the PD controller always negotiates 5V @ 2A, even with known-good chargers
    🧠 What I’ve Done So Far
    Flashed...

    AOC AG493UCX 49-inch monitor - Firmware request
    by wattage
    Hello Badcaps Community,

    I purchased a preowned AOC monitor that is not working and out of warranty. It was sold as not working. I am looking for guidance on self-repair. In particular, I am after the firmware for the monitor. At the end, I have included monitor model information and links to pics and vids of the issue.

    The problem is that it will not display a picture on any of its inputs. And the on-screen menu does not appear. The power button works properly. It powers on with the remote as well. But the on-screen menu does not appear, even when not connected to any...
