    Gateway LP2407 - No power

    I was given a non-working Gateway LP2407 and used this thread as a guide to replacing the caps on the power board:

    https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...ghlight=lp2407

    I replaced ALL the caps except the large one, which I have verified is putting out 172v. I also verified that the output to the logic board (with a green square around it in my picture) is correct, according to post #15 in this thread:

    https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...ghlight=lp2407


    It has the following voltages (from top to bottom):

    0
    0
    0
    5.5
    0
    0
    23.3
    23.3

    Still, no signs of life from the display, save for the sound of the power board powering up when plugged in. There are no bulging caps anywhere else.

    My next step was to measure the outputs of the voltage regulators on the logic board, according to the info on the same post listed above. I have them numbered 1-5 on my image. Here are the part numbers and their measured voltages:

    1) AS1117L-18 - Pin 3: 3.3v -- Pin 4: 1.8v
    2) AS1117L-33 - Pin 3: 5v -- Pin 4: 3.3v
    3) AS1117R-18 - Pin 3: 3.3v -- Pin 4: 1.26v
    4) AZ1084S-3.3EI - Pin 3: 5v -- Pin 4: 3.3v
    5) AS1117L-33 - Pin 3: 5v -- Pin 4: 3.3v

    And that's where things stand. Where should I go from here?

    1. Is regulator #3 bad and needs to be replaced?
    2. Would Digikey part number AP1117E18GDICT-ND be the correct part?
    3. How about the caps on the logic board and/or inverter board, does it make sense to replace them?

    Thanks for your help!

      Excellent description, excellent pictures. That is how I like to see a thread started.

      1. Yes, regulator #3 is either defective or overloaded. Since the tab is the output, replacing it is the only logical choice.

      2. Yes

      3. I'd replace the caps on the signal (logic) board only as a last resort if replacing the regulator does not fix it. Bad caps on the inverter did not cause this problem, but replacing them might not be a bad idea.

          Yes, that is the correct part.

          These 1117 series regulators seem to drop like flies; I've just found a failed one in a Samsung LCD TV.

              Thanks, PlainBill! Just trying to make your life easier since you're kind enough to help out. I've ordered a new 1117 regulator and the caps for the inverter board. I'll post the results when I get them installed!

                  Re: Gateway LP2407 - No power

                  SUCCESS! I replaced the suspect voltage regulator (and the caps on the inverter board for good measure) and the display fired right up.

                  I now have a different sort of problem: a high-pitched whine/buzz coming from the power board, right around the point I have circled on the attached picture. I have also determined that this noise does not occur if I unplug the inverter board from the power supply board.

                  The information printed on the side of the transformer is:

                  CHK-078
                  DN 0638 A
                  Rohs (in an oval)

                  Any suggestions?

                      You could try removing the tape, then soaking the windings with varnish or crazy glue. Or you could just put it back together. A buzz from that transformer is not uncommon.

                          I dipped it in varnish, but no luck on getting rid of the buzz. Oh well. As far as I'm concerned, it's case closed.

                          THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, PlainBill!

                              I've had luck with super glue on inductors, but you have to expose the windings first, which could be difficult.

                                  by Tynan Dill
                                  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.

                                  Assuming...

                                  Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't

                                  Upgrading a Samsung ue55nu7096u with logic board from an ue55ru7105k -- good idea?

                                  I hope this is the right forum to post in despite not technically being a repair, but still a question of swapping boards.

                                  I thought I'd explore the possibility to upgrade an existing working Samsung ue55nu7096u with the logic board (and power board if needed) of a newer model (ue55ru7105k) of the same size and appearance (and resolution). The reason being I'd like the extra inputs of that board including component in, an extra HDMI port and bluetooth. Its panel is broken so I have no use for the board otherwise.

                                  The models launched in 2018 and 2019 respectively....

                                  Hi all, I just want to share the repair of my 60PK550-UA TV set.

                                  The TV set was powering on, just no image. After verification, nothing wrong on the YSus or ZSus boards. Nothing wrong on the main board either.

                                  But I noticed that the LED was not flashing on the Logic Control Board. This is an EBR63450301. The LED is supposed to flash even with all the flat cables disconnected, with only the power cable attached.

                                  All the voltages measured at the electrolytic capacitors on the board were good. From top left to bottom right:
                                  C57: 3.30V
                                  C61:...

                                  Will I have a bricked logic board after reflow of the GPU v-core U8900 chip on my Mid-2012 15" Retina Macbook pro?

                                  Hi everyone! I'm trying to fix my black screen / failed U8900 GPU v-core on my Mid-2012 Macbook Pro 15" Retinaby doing a rework/reflow of the chip (once I determine that's the real issue; but it likely is).

                                  I've been disabling the GPU in NVRAM for a few years... but it's just time for a better solution.

                                  I'm new to soldering but the only feasible way to fix this issue is to do something myself.

                                  MY QUESTION:
                                  I've been seeing some people (on this forum mostly) run into issues with the logic board needing a serial number or it being deactivated (?)...
