    Re: Dell 1800FP no 5v standby.

    did you also change the main power mosfet (The 3 pin diode on the center most heatsink)
    you should usually do that when you do that ICE

    check your 2 rectifier diodes on the other heatsinks to make sure that they did not short out. if one is shorted it will usually shut down the system

        Re: Dell 1800FP no 5v standby.

        how would i test the main power mosfet? and im getting confused cause i thought diodes only had 2 "pins" and a white line on one side of the diode to show which way current can flow. this 3 pin power mosfet is also a diode?

          Re: Dell 1800FP no 5v standby.

          the two on the same heatsink with the 3 pins are rectifier diodes
          the two outer pins are on the same circuit coming from the tranformer, so basically it is like a two pin .
          The center pin is your DC output

          Depending on the manufacturer or the diodes- If you look closely at the black body, you might see 2 arrows pointing to the center.

          these look similar to some power mosfets, but they are not the same testing wise

          just test in circuit with your ohm meter from the center pin to one of the outer pins to make sure that they are not showing Zero or really low ohms

              Re: Dell 1800FP no 5v standby.

              thank you for the explanation.
              ok so testing the 2 rectifier diodes using the black probe in the center pin and the red probe on the outer pins, i get 100~200 ohms resistance on all of them.
              weird thing happens when i use the red probe on the center pin and the black one to test the other 2...the resistance just keeps climbing. whats going on there?
              also, how do i test the main power mosfet?

                Re: Dell 1800FP no 5v standby.

                Hi
                Yep the ohm meter will usually keep climbing for a while in one scenario of probe locations, then if you reverse the tester probes after it builds up, it will probably drop back down and then up again
                The resistance usually eventually slows down and stops.
                Caps are affecting this
                If you take them out, your readings will differ.

                So those should be ok, or should I say good enough to not cause power on issues. If you ever find one that is shorted. It will stop all power, so this is always a good starting place

                you can only do limited testing on the power mosfet with a standard tester.
                to see if it may be shorted while it is on the board, you can do a similar test with your ohm meter
                between the center pin and each side pin and then side pin to side pin

                  If you're getting zero voltage at every pin, then check the resistance of the ground and Vcc pins of the ICE2AS01 again to see if there's a short. If no short,then power up the board and measure the DC voltage across the leads of the main 450V cap. You should see around 165VDC.

                    can you post a clearer picture of the bottom of the power board targeting the center section ??
                    the other picture gets too fuzzy when I try to get in close on it.

                      ok heres a better picture of the back of the board.
                      also i guess i should mention that while changing the IC, one of the pads got a little damaged... it still looks like it would be making a connection...but is this really bad?

                          actually both pins on the one end do not get used on this chip.

                          so you have no voltage between pin 6 and pin 7 ??
                          If not, check to see if pin 6 is grounded with an ohm meter
                          then check the diode at D902 to see if it shows zero resistance in one direction
                          then check resistor 907 to make sure it is not open (no resistance)

                            just to be sure, to check if pin 6 is grounded i put my meter to ohms setting and put black probe on chassis ground and red probe on pin6?

                              pin 6 is VCC and pin 7 is ground... also pin 6 is the one the pad got damaged on.. how likely is that to cause a problem?

                                  ok using the negative side of the main filter cap as ground ref, i get 0.3 ohms resistance on pin 7 (GND) and 3.1 ohms on pin 6 (VCC)

                                  if pin 6 were grounded would that mean it should be 0.3 like the ground pin? and that would be bad, right?

                                        in my experience, diodes always have some resistance even in the direction they are allowing current...what would zero resistance mean there?

                                          0.3 would mean it is totally shorted
                                          but 3.1 does not appear to be anywhere near where it should be
                                          based on one I just checked in a different model board, it should be well over 100K

                                          pins 2 and 3 should also be showing decent resistance to the ground pin

                                          what is the power mosfet model number

                                            by Bowline
                                            My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

                                            Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

                                            My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
                                            The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
                                            I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

                                            Hello all,

                                            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:

                                            If the laptop is only connected to the AC adapter (battery removed):

                                            When I press the power button, the keyboard backlight and the display backlight are turning on. Caps key light is lightning, but key does not respond to pressing it.

                                            The power/battery...

                                            Low Standby voltage on Dell PSU
                                            by Gatolina
                                            Hello! I'm trying to fix this Dell ATX PSU H235PD-01 which had a burned tny279 for the 5V Standby.

                                            I've changed it, checked the capacitors and diodes. Now I have 5.8V in pin 2 (bypass), 358V in Drain (pin 4), reaching the primary of the transformer but only 0.7v outputting to Standby purple wire.

                                            What could be the problem? Thank you...

                                            Looking for Dell Latitude 5520 / 5530 / 5540 RJ45 network connector replacement

                                            I have a Dell Latitude 5530 with a damaged RJ45 network connector. See the attached pictures.

                                            Have already searched on Farnell / Aliexpress / Ebay and had contact with several suppliers on Aliexpress and Ebay, but they cannot deliver this connector.
                                            Is there someone inside the EU, who has these connector(s) or perhaps defective motherboard(s) for these laptop models I have mentioned in the topic title.

                                            Pictures of these boards:

                                            Dell 5410 greyed out BT
                                            by OntarioTL
                                            Well I've learned something new today. Of all the Dell laptops I've come across I have never seen bluetooth greyed out, and only to learn this is during the build from Dell factory. I've tried to pull the original BIOS and fix with another dell with the same issue on the forums, however the original was not recovered from the forum upgrade so I cannot do a comparison to attempt the fix on my own.

                                            If someone could help me out with this unit and I'll try the next one as so far I have 2 on my desk with this issue. Thanks in advance!
