    Ok - test it again out of circuit.

        I think this will be a double diode so if it has three legs
        do the following test on one side and the middle then do it on the other pair ( middle and other side)

        This test is from retiredcaps 2 sec to black guide which is interesting for anyone doing anything like this- start at post 20

        7.3) Bad Diode
        -----------------

        Diodes (D or ZD designation) can be bad. To test a diode in circuit,

        a) put your multimeter in diode test mode
        b) put your black lead on one side and the red lead on the other - record reading
        c) reverse the leads - recording reading

        A good diode should read 0.4V to 0.7V in one direction and 0L in the other. If you get a reading in both directions

          Re: Dell 3008wfp faulty power supply

          Do I not need to hook up some kind of current to the diode for the test to work?

            NO! You only ever need power on if someone asks you to test/check a voltage.

              Your multimeter when set to diode test mode provides a small current through the diode. See

                Greetings,
                Count me too in the success stories list: last week the display died (completely: no blue/orange led).
                Found D22 died in closed circuit state, today I replaced it with a STPS60170CT and now it's back working flawlessly. It costed me about 3€ and 2 hours of work.
                Thank you all for this great thread.

                    SO:
                    Original D22 Readings:
                    Black Left, Red Centre: 007, Black Left, Red Right: 007
                    Red Left, Black Centre: 007, Red Left, Black Right: 007

                    Replaced D22 Readings:
                    Black Left, Red Centre: 1, Black Left, Red Right: 1
                    Red Left, Black Centre: 122, Red Left, Black Right: 1

                    Original D19 Readings: (potentially shorted one)
                    Black Left, Red Centre: 1, Black Left, Red Right: 1
                    Red Left, Black Centre: 052, Red Left, Black Right: 1

                        By 1 I assume it means off the scale, as it shows 1 when the probes arn't touching anything!

                                  When you check semiconductor device for short, use Ohm function since bad semiconductor junction will act more like low Ohm resistor, it will no longer act like Diode any more.
                                  D22 is OK.
                                  Check D19 in Ohm mode to see what you get, so far it looks like it has very low Vf.

                                    which probes on which side? and at what ohm setting? I have: 200, 2000, 20k, 200k, 2000k

                                    on the 200 setting I got a reading of 69.9 for red left and black centre
                                    I also got 69.9 for black centre red right!

                                      I just want to thank the major contributors to this thread - I'm in the same predicament and have got quite a lot to go on thanks to the posts here. Have ordered a pack of STPS60170CTs (minimum order of 5 :/) and will hopefully be taking a look at it this weekend. It's quite promising how many people have fixed the issue by changing this single component.

                                        "on the 200 setting I got a reading of 69.9 for red left and black centre
                                        I also got 69.9 for black centre red right!"
                                        Now do the reverse:
                                        black left and red center
                                        black right and red center

                                            I 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.

                                            Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
                                            by sam_sam_sam
                                            I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

                                            One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

                                            Hi everyone,

                                            Looking for some advice or opinions on what to do with a monitor issue I’ve run into. Apologies in advance is this crossovers a few forum categories.

                                            I have a Dell U3425WE, which I've recently replaced with another model. That said, the original unit is still fully functional in terms of the display — it works perfectly over HDMI and DisplayPort. However, the USB-C and Thunderbolt 4 ports have stopped functioning correctly. The Issue:
                                            • The 90W Thunderbolt 4 port (circled in the photo) no longer charges or powers any device, including laptops or MacBooks.

                                            by sam_sam_sam
                                            I 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...

                                            this is my first post, so if I make mistakes please do not hesitate to point them out, thank you in advance.

                                            I got a Dell Latitude 5420 (Service Tag: 7RFM6D3, Motherboard: GDF40 LA-491P Rev.: 2.0 (A01)) which does not start and I want to repair it. These are the symptoms:
