    Apple LED Cinema display 24 inch Testing power supply need some help

    Hi I'm new to the form. I've worked on electronics for many years but Testing capacitors is something new in my book. My problem is I'm testing the power supply on a Apple Cinema Display. I've confirmed from another website that is definitely the power supply. But when I started testing the capacitors the uf Are higher then the rating on the capacitor so what Does that means they're also bad. I don't think it's my new Multi meter is defective, because The other capacitors on the power supply I tested Are reading within the range. I'm confused of use the search still trying to find anyone else have this problem but I did not see that. I know that if the uf is lower than written on the capacitor I know it's bad but what about being higher. Thank you for any help that you can offer.

    Curtis.

    You are in the wrong forum, this is the "general electronics" forum. Try the 'troubleshotting computer dispalys" forum just below the general electronics.

      Are you testing the caps in circuit? If yes, then other components in the circuit could be affecting your readings. Top down photos of the circuit board would be helpful. Do not post them inline, use the "manage attachments" option to post.

        Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
        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...

        Apple Watch Charging Controller Schematics / Boardview - 820-02601
        by a_p3rson
        Hi there,

        I'm looking for anyone who might have information on Apple's embedded Apple Watch charging daughterboard, ID 820-02601. This is currently used by Anker in their Apple Watch charging products, but likely by other Apple partner brands as well.

        You can see the board referenced in ChargerLab's teardown of the Anker Y1811 3-in-1 MagSafe cube - they discuss the "Apple Watch wireless charging circuit" about 2/3rds down the page. It's not pictured, but the board ID reads 820-02601-A, which sure sounds like Apple.
        This daughterboard uses an interesting...

        Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
        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...

        Need advice testing a samsung power supply board with scope
        by repair-it
        I am attempting to test a samsung power supply board to verify the pfc ic is working. I am powering up the board with my isolation transformer. The board turns on fine but when I attempt to connect the ground for the scope probe, it trips out the isolator. I was taught not to 'float my scope' so I am wondering if I should test without connecting the ground lead or would that be asking for trouble? Not sure how else to test, I don't have a portable scope. I could plug direct to mains power but that would bypass the safety factor.

        Russound CA4 Power Supply Repair
        by CMCM
        Hello Everybody,

        Trying to repair a power supply from a Russound CA4 Multizone Controller (picture attached)

        Russound no longer supports it but were kind enough to provide a schematic of the power supply (pdf attached).

        The outputs marked 12v and 20v are all measuring only 1v.

        The board is clicking, which I think means it is in something called hiccup mode when the flyback transformers switches because of an internal problem or something else on the board Overloading it.

        The capacitors physically look clean (no bludgesor leaks) and...
