    Re: Optiquest Q9 No secondary Voltages

    There are 3 fairly large schotty diodes on this power supply .With one leg lifted from the PCB there is what I feel is a big difference in the voltage drop across them,1.5v on the first 2.5v on the second and 4.5 volts on the last one.I will compare them with the good board in the A.M.
    Wonder if that may be my problem
    Whatever I do, I consider it a success, if in the end I am breathing, seeing, feeling and hearing!

      Unfortunately, the board I had was not the same as yours.If I remember right however,the last time I saw the three diodes as yours are,and had a non working board, the problem was in the Inverter side,and voltages did vary a great deal.I presume the voltage drops you are measuring are DC ??therefore you are getting something from the power side to get these readings,so if that is the case,then the secondary side needs to be investigated.

        The large diodes D801-D803-and D805 were removed from the circuit and measured with the diode test of the DMM.
        D801=4.5v D803= .162v and d805= .227v
        These are the same reading on both working and non working board.
        Back to square one

          Hey Alex. Did you ever get that resolved? I'm having the exact same problem with an Acer 1916 power/inverter board. Voltages are jumping all over the place on my SG6841 PWM Controller.
          Pin#3 goes like 5.XX, 8.XX, 11.XX, 14,XX, 17,XX. Then starts again at a low number and bounces up to around 18v. Same with Pin #7 though I noticed it doesn't get much over 15v.

          Sure would be nice if we could get this resolved. Does anybody out there know what causes these voltage fluctuations on pins 3 and 7 of an SG6841 PWM Controller? Thanks.

            It's either the cap on pin 7 (Vdd), a shorted output diode, or a short on one of the secondaries. The most common cause is the cap; that is why we recommend ALWAYS replacing that cap.

            For a number of reasons, both health and personal, I will no longer be active on this board. Any PMs asking for assistance will be ignored.

            Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

              No I was not able to get that one repaired.
              I did have a Samsung that was doing something very similar, fluctuating voltage going to the SMPS.
              I got lucky finding the problem, every time I would touch my DMM lead to one of the output diodes the voltages would stabilize .The problem turned out to be a bad connection at the solder pad one of the output diodes

                Bill, excellent troubleshooting. We found the culprit. Thanks for your help too Alex.

                1. First off I replaced the cap leading from the #7 pin. (vdd). It was a 4.7uF 50v that I had already tested out of circuit with my blue esr meter. The reading was 1.0 exactly. But it was *gasp* .... a "crapxon". I went ahead and replaced it with a rubycon with an esr of .88
                I doubted the esr difference, would make a difference. But I replaced it to make up for my laziness the first time. I replaced the 47uF 50v nearby for the exact same reason.
                2. Tested all the diodes. They all tested good. So I plugged in the power to take those readings from the SG6841 again. Still fluctuated
                3. Went back to read Bill's notes. "or a short on one of the secondaries". I took out my 10X jewelers loop and started examining the board. Much to my amazement, I spotted a "solder bridge"(to nowhere)
                I had purchased this monitor after a friend had "attempted repair". Dummy me. I figured he knew how to solder.
                A little solder wick in 2 suspect areas and those bridges came a tumbling down. Time to test again.
                Pins 3 and 7 had stable voltage! Slapped it together and it worked!

                Lesson learned...... Always, ALWAYS check for solder bridges, or solder splash. Especially after somebody ahead of you "attempted repair".

                Thanks again Bill! As the younger kids would say, "you da man"

                  Macbook Core i7 2010 a1286 820 - 2850A CRAZY JUMPING voltages
                  by marce002
                  Hello

                  Need just to know how do you guys determine what the problem is, when we have some fluctuating volt, to discard a faulty TPS 51125 , or if the issue is after this IC.

                  CRAZY JUMPING

                  PP3V3_S5 = 0v to 3.33 v jumping
                  PPBUS_G3H = 12.4v to 12.48 jumping a little
                  PP5V_S5 = 2v to 5v aprox, jumping fast
                  P3V3S5_ENTRIP = crazy jumping from low volt
                  SMC_PM_G2_EN = jumping 0v to 3.3v crazy


                  STEADY


                  P3V42_G3H=3.39V steady
                  PP5V1_CHGR_VDD=5.06v steady
                  PPCHGR_DCIN= 18.29 to 18.31 jumping

                  Powersupply has all the voltages - Monitor still no power
                  by Capacitorial
                  Hello guys,

                  I have a Philips 240B7QPJEB. The monitor seems completely dead.
                  I opened it and measured the voltages of the powersupply. I found that a mosfet was dead and replaced it.
                  On the connector, that goes to the TCON board, all voltages 15-19V and 5V are present.
                  The small connector on the left of the PSU has two cables with 18V and all the other have 0.2V. It connects on this small connector on the left ontop of the panel. I guess the backlight? Seens fine I guess.
                  The weird thing is, that the Power LED is powered over the TCON board.
                  On The TCON...

                  by gjgib
                  Hello, this might be embarassing since I consider it a dumb question but keeps me kinda stuck sometimes in my journey.

                  I want to know if there is any post in this forum which explains my questions. A) When, where and how do I know when X voltage line is input or output. Example:


                  I'm battling with this IC to understand it's voltages. It's from non-turning-on Lenovo Ideapad 3 15iil05 - NM-D461.

                  I see some lines like +5VL / +5VALW / V9B+ / +3VALW being okay and some others like 1.8VALW / +0.6VS / +2.5V_DDR. I just know that some of them are bad or missing,...

                  Hello

                  Need to know the voltages that will be present on SN51DP ic when tv is in standby and when powered on.

                  Just to elaborate on the problem with the tv 1.set came in with flash of HISENSE logo on screen then back into standby.2. Now tv when plugged in red standby light present to quickly changes to blue but no backlights.3.Then an hour ago i checked again , came on standby and stayed until i pressed the power button which changed to power on (blue)4.As far as the led driver circuit goes voltage at output in standby was 38v , power on led light up voltages rise 58v-68v...

                  MSI Z390-A PRO missing VCORE voltages
                  by karlp028
                  I've got an MSI Z390-A Pro motherboard that starts up fine, but it's missing the VCORE (and VGT) voltages. All of the other voltages are present (e.g. VCCSA, VCCIO) and I know the CPU (i7-9700k) is good. Now, the original PWM controller (UP9521P) had an internal short and I replaced it with a new one. All of the enable signals look good. The problem seems to be the PWM signals going to the MOSFET drivers. I checked them with an oscilloscope and they are all flat 1.5V with no pulses. I don't know why this would be and I'm not sure where to look next.
