    Benq 24" Led need help! PSU problem

    Hi, all and thanks for reading.

    I have acquired a 24" LED Monitor BENQ G2420HDBL that is totally dead. When stripped down I noticed an IC with half the top missing on the PCB. Looks like a switcher for low standby - power off? Trouble is, how can I identify it or can anybody suggest an alternative? It doesn't look blown (no charred or burnt parts and doesn't smell like its burnt out) guessing it just been miss handled.

    PSU Part number is E162032 VOL.3 ?

    Pin 1 Primary side of transformer
    Pin 2 to Opto coupler?
    Pin 3 n/c
    Pin 4 Primary side of transformer

    Pin 5 to Pin 8 Ground

    I bow down to your superior knowledge! Please help!

    Barry

    I've got some clues; it's going to require more research. The chip is by Power Integrations. TOP2xx appears to be their designation for a line of SMPS controllers. At the moment all I can do is eliminate the TOP232 - TOP234 and TOP242 - TOP250 devices.

    While it is possible I could identify it myself, I don't want to deny you the opportunity to do it yourself. The Power Integrations, Inc website is here.

      Thanks for the reply, Looking at the digikey website, I've got a choice.

      The only difference appears to be frequency range and wattage.

      I suppose the highest wattage will cover it? Its an LED display so I don't have to worry about CCFL drivers.

      Which is the best one to go for? Or will they all do the same job?

      Thanks again

        Suggestion: The easy approach would be to look at the back panel of the monitor. It should show a wattage. Choose one rated for a higher wattage.

        A more liberal approach would be to examine the datasheets for typical applications and see if that gives a clue. It appears Power Integrations has a number of design examples on their site. I'd expect that one is a match.

        Do check all associated components. To me the damage looks like the chip shorted and exploded.

          Thanks for all your help, plumped for 1.37 Amp output up to 38 watts. Normally i'd agree with the blown component theory but this was bought and it looks like it has never been used, it still has all of the protective plastic all over it! Also there is absolutely no burn or scorch marks anywhere on the board and there isn't that smell you normally get from blown components. Either way, for £1.60 I'll throw one at it and see what happens.


          I'll let you know what happens!

            Great photos, thanks. That device is a new one on me. It is a combination switching FET and opto coupler. You can see they even notched out the pc board for greater isolation between primary and secondary. A shorted FET would blow the part up like that. The next step is to check parts in the vicinity - especially any low value resistors.
            Is it plugged in?

              When I was a little boy my Grandma reminded me of a saying sometimes attributed to Mark Twain, sometimes to Abraham Lincoln. "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."

              You are correct. The pictures are excellent. After that - well, I'll follow Thumper's Law. You can even see the optocoupler straddling the white line. It's IC602. IC601 is a SMPS controller and power FET in a single package. It's a member of Power Integrations, Inc TOP252 family.

                Problem with LG Plasma 60PM6700 - Random power downs
                by theone111
                I have an LG Plasma TV 60PM6700 for the past ~12 years.

                In the last ~3-4 months I have been having some issues.
                1. Problem: It started with random picture disappearing (sound still worked).
                  Frequency: Happened about once a week.
                  Solution: Had to turn off TV wait a few seconds before turning it on again.
                2. Problem: Then it got worse and the TV started to shut down and when turning on the no picture just sound.
                  Frequency: Happened about once a week.
                  Solution: Had to turn off TV wait about 10-20 seconds and turn it on again to solve.
                3. Problem: TV shuts down

                i have a problem with thinkpad X1 carbon gen 2 "LMQ-1MB 12298-2 48.4LY26.021"
                The laptop was turned off because the MOSFET was not transmitting voltage. After checking it turned out that the gate pin on the MOSFET was the problem, because it was producing an inappropriate voltage. and it was discovered that the problem was with the Think engine, so I decided to reprint each pin, and finally the mosfet could work properly. However, there is another problem, even though the voltage has been supplied to the laptop, it still won't turn on, there isn't even an LED indicator. After double...

                Lenovo T580 - LCD Panel problem - error 0288
                by perzyk23
                Good morning,
                I have a problem with Lenovo T580, which after error code 0288 suggests a problem with the display. I checked the display and it works on another laptop. I replaced the display cable with a new one. I programmed another BIOS (downloaded from this forum) and I still have the problem of a dead display - there is an image via HDMI, and the system does not detect the built-in LCD at all. The problem appears to be hardware. What can I check to confirm or disprove this? I found many threads on the Internet related to this problem 0288, but without specific solutions. Please advise....

                Dell 15R-5521 keyboard problem (KBC?)
                by SDNarcia
                Hello, I have a Dell 15R-5521, with the problem that the Ctrl, Alt, Shitf and Num Lock keys do not work, I tested the keyboard with a keyboard tester and it is functional, I also got another new keyboard and the computer has the same problem with the same keys. Check continuity between the ZIF connector from the keyboard to the KBC and all pins are correct. I cleaned the ZIF connector and the KBC and I still have the same problem. I reinstalled windows just in case, and it didn't work. I updated the BIOS to the latest version A16 and there were no changes.

                As additional information,...
