    Re: Neovo F-419 no power.

    C809 is the 10uf 25V startup cap, which read 0 volts when you measured across it. Correct?

    With power off do the following:

    1) check the fusible resistor, R800, .2ohms 1W, to see if it's open.

    2) check R807, D802 and Q801 for shorts.

      Re: Neovo F-419 no power.

      Additional info: you mentioned that you replaced D801,PS1010R, with a RGP10D. The PS1010R is rated 1000V@1A. The RGP10 is rated 200V@1A. Add checking D801 for a short to your list.

        Actually it's 10uf 100V, but yes it measured 0v

        R800= 1.1 @ 200ohm on DMM
        R807= 15.6 @ 200ohm on DMM
        D801= 78.1 @ 200ohm on DMM it reads 78 for a split second then 0
        D802= 17.6 @ 200ohm on DMM

        Q801= 0
        black on pin 1 red on pin 3 gave me some 70 for a split second.
        I tested like this,
        Black pin1 Red pin 2 and 3
        Black pin2 Red pin 3

        I think it's broken, but I was so sure that I had equalent replacement part.
        Oh well, that teaches me to pay more attention.

          Re: Neovo F-419 no power.

          I'm assuming that when you see "0" on your resistance readings, that means zero ohms? If yes, it means you have a short. Regardless, you should replace D801 because it's the wrong part.

          Remove Q801 from the board and repeat test to verify your initial readings.

          R800 seems a bit high, but other parts could be affecting your reading. Remove it from the board and repeat test.

            I'll get to that ASAP
            when I say 0 all I get on the screen is
            Code:
            "1    . "
            Like i'm not probing anything.

            Remove Q801 from the board and repeat test to verify your initial readings.
            I did the same testing as earlyer and have the same readings.

            black on pin 2 red on pin 3 gave me some 20-60 for a split second. (changes every time I check it)(made a tipo in earlyer thread, black was on pin 2 not 1)
            I tested like this,
            Black pin1 Red pin 2 and 3
            Black pin2 Red pin 3

            R800 seems a bit high, but other parts could be affecting your reading. Remove it from the board and repeat test.
            It mesures about 5 then rapidly drops to 1.1 but after few secs it then drops to 1.0


            PS.
            My DMM is a cheap one.
            when put on 200ohm setting I get 0.8 ohms when shorting pins.

              Re: Neovo F-419 no power.

              Many people get confused with manual multimeters and how to correctly report and intrepret the readings. From my 2 seconds to black guide ...

              === begin ====

              If you have a manual ranging multimeter, set it to 200 (two hundred) ohms. Touch the black and red probe together. It should read 0.3 or 0.4 ohms. If it is higher than 1.0 ohm, there is something wrong with your multimeter.

              If your multimeter reads "1" or "OL", it means the measurement is outside your chosen range. Don't confuse "1" on the left hand side of this display with 1.0 on the right hand side. The first means out of range and the second means 1.0 unit of your measurement.

              === end ===

              Normally, we suggest testing for shorts using the 200 ohms scale. If it is shorted, the component will probably read less than 30 ohms. If it is not shorted, the multimeter will show a "1" on the left hand side. This "1" indicates the resistance reading is greater than 200 ohms. We don't care about the actual reading because we are only interested if it is shorted or not.

                Diodes should be measured using the diode test function on your multimeter.

                A good diode read between 0.4 and 0.7V one way and "0L" or "1" ("1" on the left hand side) the other way.

                So put black probe on one side and red on the other. Take reading. Now reverse probes and take another reading.

                  Re: Neovo F-419 no power.

                  Due to the 0.8 ohm offset on your meter, I would say that R800 is probably good. Also, since you're getting a out of range reading on Q801, it's probably also good.

                    ( I belive that silver end of the diode or the end that goes into the black whole on the PCB is the negative)
                    First number is with the black probe on Negative.
                    D802=018 both way's
                    D801=568 then 0 the other way ( the LCD does not change, "1" just stay's on, so my gues it's not conducting)

                    I also checked the D980-D983 just for fun, they read,
                    black on negative, 215-213 all 4
                    Red on Negative, they go over 2000 and then the screen just show's "1"

                    TVS1=565 no reading the other way.

                    D842=452 then otherway it goes past 2000

                    what does 568 or 452 mean? 5.68V and 4.52V?
                    If the meter shows "1" on the left side, does it means that there was no conductivity in the diode mode?
                    (like the meeter does not know if i'm testing with it? and is that a good thing, if the probe is on negative?)

                    Sorry for the questions and crude testing and testing report, I'm just trying to learn in my way,
                    as I have a short span (AD/HD) so reading long text's and stuff that does not directly fit to my problem description can be hard,
                    so I'm trying to learn by using my method. (also language differental does not help lol

                      Your decimal point is off. 568 means .568 volts; a typical voltage for a standard diode. 213 would of course be .213 volts, which would indicate a schottky diode.

                      That's normal. A diode conducts electricity in only one direction. Commonly for the diode test function the meter will put out a maximum of slightly over 2 volts at low current, with the red lead positive. It displays the voltage across the leads with a maximum of 1.999 volts. In the reverse direction a good diode will not conduct, so it will act like the probes aren't touching anything.

                        black on negative, 215-213 all 4

                        So if I probe red on negative and get a reading going from 100 towards the "1" signal does that mean the diode is broken?
                        so D980-D983 could be bad diodes?
                        And the D801 is also broken since it gives readings of .018v wich is under 0.4v, right?

                        Ask away!! We all learn by different methods. I find that reading gives me the information but it fades quickly; actually using the information 'locks it in place'.
                        thanks for that, reading rarely gives me the information but it can help me, but asking relative questions give me the most information,along with doing the repair or work my self.

                          D801 is good - you got 568 in one direction, open in the other.
                          D802 reads 018 in both directions. That indicates a problem.
                          D980-D983 are probably good. We will ignore them for now.

                          Earlier you had mentioned that you had 0 volts across C809. This is a problem. There are several possible causes. A bad D802 is one of them. Unsolder one end of D802 and check it. If it reads about .5 volts '500 - 600' in one direction and open in the other it is good, solder it back in. If it still reads 018, replace it.

                          This next test involves dangerous voltages, so be careful. Work on an insulated surface. The power supply / inverter should be disconnected from the signal card and the LCD panel. Set your DMM to the 20 volts DC range. Hook up the power cord. CAREFULLY measure the voltage from pin 1 (Gnd) to pin 3 (Vin) of U801. It should read about 16 volts. If it reads 0 volts, reset your DMM to the 200 volt range and read the voltage at the junction of R821 and R822. It should read about 160 volts. Disconnect the power cord and take a deep breath. Wait several minutes before touching the power supply.

                          Additional information. At this point there are three prime suspects. In order they are U801, D802, C809. U801 is notorious for failing.

                            D802=560 and open the other way (I belive "1" means open right?)

                            U801=3.80 it also was quite fluctuating sometimes showed 0.0v and upto 3.60v depending on if I moved then pin or not.

                            junction of R821 and R822=315v steady

                              Those readings indicate a problem, I'm not sure exactly where it is. R821 is 820K, R822 is 680K. (Initially I had assumed they were equal my mistake). I would expect 145 volts at the junction.

                              Here are some additional tests.

                              1. If you haven't already done so, solder D802 back in place. It tests good.

                              2. Trace the circuit from the + lead of the large cap through R821 and R822 to IC801, pin 3. Look for bad solder joints. If you don't find any, reflow the solder on each of those pins.

                              3. Now hook up the power cord and retest. If you get about 145 volts at the junction of R821-R822 see if you get output voltages. If you don't get 145 volts, replace R822.

                                I did that soon as I had finished testing it

                                There you got me, i'm not sure how I would do that, could you draw a line on the picture for me? so I could se how you would figure that route out.
                                I did not find the IC801, did you mean U801 maybe?
                                Reflow, does that mean I should heat up the solder or remove it and re-solder it?
                                But I just went trough the whole area where we have been working on and heated the solder(wich is inside the black line)

                                3. Now hook up the power cord and retest. If you get about 145 volts at the junction of R821-R822 see if you get output voltages. If you don't get 145 volts, replace R822.
                                I got 316 now, is there any possibility that I might be testing wrong joints?
                                Is there any reason why I should change the R822 and not R821? just asking.
                                what do you mean by "see if you get output voltages" talking about the P803 wires?

                                  Sorry I wasn't clearer, I was rushing. I'm not up to marking up pictures this morning, so will refer to the schematic, then explain some terms.

                                  If you look at the schematic, AC power comes in at P801, goes through some filters to black noise and then to BD801. Which converts it to DC. The DC is filtered by C805, and then goes through R800, a fusible resistor. The main current path is through T801, L803, Q801, and the unholy mess of R819, R819A, R820, and R820A.

                                  Q801 is the power FET, and is controlled by U801 pin 8. While the power supply is operating, power for U801 comes from T801 pin 6, D802, R807, and is filtered by C809.

                                  If you look at this circuit you can see that there will be voltage at pin 6 of T801 only when Q801 is switched on, and U801 must have power to do that. But U801 gets it's power from T801. How does this process start???

                                  For that, trace the path R822, R821, U801 pin 3. When AC power is applied C805 charges up to 320 volts very quickly. The voltage is dropped across R822 and R821. Typically we see about 20-30 volts at U801 pin 3. U801 contains a switched constant current source which charges C809. When the voltage across C809 reaches 16 volts U801 starts sending pulses to Q801, U801 gets power from T801, and the constant current source is switched off.

                                  Now R822 and R821 are in series. R822 is 820 Kohms, R821 is 680 Kohms, so the total resistance is 1.5 Megohms. They form a voltage divider, I would expect to see 20 volts at u801 pin 3 and the left end of R821, 155 volts at the right end of R821 and left end of R822, and of course, 320 volts at the right end of R822. (Left and right refer to the schematic, that corresponds to top and bottom in the picture).

                                  NOW, either you are not measuring the voltages correctly, or R821 is defective. The problem is you will have to remove R821 to test it.

                                  'Reflow solder' means to heat it up with a soldering iron so it will flow and hopefully fill any gaps.

                                  If you were getting the correct voltages at R821, R822 I would have expected U801 to be working, and you should have gotten output voltages at P803.

                                    I belive it's broken, I get no ohm reading of it

                                    How can I search for it's datashet?
                                    I searched for SD011680300 S RES and had no luck.

                                      For clarity, please NEVER use 'no ohm reading' unless you qualify it with the range - 'no ohm reading on the 20 Megohm range' - as an example, 'reads open on all ranges' is better.

                                      R821 is a standard SMT device, Panasonic ERJ-6GEYJ684V is one choice; Digikey has over 168,000 of them at .04 each. Double check the size.

                                        Allright I'll keep that in mind, but after I read your reply, I relalised one thing, I only checked 200, 2000 and 20k ohm,
                                        so I went a checked it with the remaining settings.
                                        On 2000k ohm I got a reading of 675, wich would be 675k ohm I guess.

                                          Shoot!!! That indicates the resistor is good. Check R822, please.

                                          Some parts are 'jelly bean' parts - available from multiple companies and interchangeable. For decades the standard resistor used in electronics was a 1/2 watt leaded carbon composition resistor with a 20% tolerance. As electronics moved away from vacuum tubes, current demands dropped, and better materials became available this evolved to the 1/4 watt metal film 5% tolerance leaded resistor. With surface mount, the standard resistor is now a 1/8 watt metal film SMT resistor.

                                          To answer your question, all of the other components that look like R821 and have an R designation are resistors; the only difference between them would be the resistance. R821 should have the numbers 684 on the top - 68 followed by four zeros, or 680000 ohms, or 680K ohm. I'll let you tell me what a 470 ohm resistor would say.

                                            Hi, Im having a similar problem with my Acer Nitro 5 AN517 52, took it to repair and they said that the problem was a burned mosfet wich has written on top "I6 GUE 8v1507".
                                            There is written PQB12 on the motherboard right next to it.
                                            Does anyone know if there is soemthing similar I can buy to replace it with?
                                            Seems impossible to find theidentical mosfet online.

                                            Laptop Asus R520U problem with instaling ssd drive, laptop come with 2.5" hdd drive, but there is slot for ssd (M.2 I think) I put SAMSUNG 500GB SSD 980 Pro M.2 PCI-E NVMe, but can't be recognized in bios or windows

                                            I don't have any other type of ssd to try, maybe the bus is sata3 not pci-e ??

                                            I need bios for toshiba satellite pro r50-b-15j motherboard faebsy2
                                            i have tried this :

                                            but no power
                                            and i tried this



                                            the laptop worked but asked for a password
                                            i have tried many with same motherboard name wich is FAEBSY2 A5A003954010 A but the laptop didnt turn on (no lights, no fan spinning)
                                            i have attached my original bios wich has been corrupted after a windows update (turn on but black screen)
                                            if any have the bios for the exact model name will be great "toshiba satellite pro r50-b-15j"...

                                            Hello everyone,
                                            I have a problem with a neovo H-W22S monitor.
                                            When I turn on the screen, the image is visible for an instant
                                            and then disappears. If I go to light up the screen with a flashlight with much difficulty
                                            I can see the image. The monitor led remains on.
                                            I unmounted the monitor and took some photos of the power board.
                                            I add a video link to better understand the problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycyO...ature=youtu.be
                                            Capacitors do not seem swollen. What could I verify?...

                                            HP Elitebook 840 G1 BIOS Issues

                                            Hello Folks,

                                            i have a HP Elitebook 840 G1 with a locked BIOS and i have bought a CH341a (black PCB). My problem is that the Bios Chip reads 25Q128A 13ECO and i cannot find a profile for this chip in any of the software recommended in the guide threat in this forum. The chip cannot be detected wich i dont find too surprising, but i can read the chip with random other profiles selected.

                                            I have found a post in this forum in wich the user stated he was able to flash this exact chip with the CH341a and the testclip, but unfortunately this user is no longer active. In...
