Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
made a few more checks and it turns out that pin 3 on the IC has continuity with the metal backing of the IC. Also pin 4 on the PCB has continuity with the heatsink the IC is bolted to.
So if there was contact between the back of the IC and the heatsink it would cause a short between pins 3 & 4. I cant see how that can happen as there is a bit Mica between the IC & heatsink. But still its a thought.Comment

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
Continuity could mean anything, What is the resistance?, Look at the schematic... Between ic801 pin4 and ground there is a 2watt "continuity". If IC801 pin 3 is shorted to ground what do you think that is going to do with 330vdc on C802? The mica insulator is likely damaged and the ic could be damaged by now.Comment

Thanks for your patience with this RJ. I meant in saying continuity that there was no resistance. Sorry if I miss desrcribed that. I thought that continuity meant a perfect conection with no resistance. The Mica piece looks fine. It was coated each side with heat sink paste. Other than that I couldnt see anything. Tomorrow I will put that new IC in and check it for a short before testing it. Should I apply heat sink paste to both sides of the mica again?.Comment

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
Between ic801, pin4 and ground there is a 0.27Ω resistor. so it will check close to a short.
Well if the mica was'nt damaged what was causing the short. It would be a good idea to identify what caused the short. Check if the ic itself is shorted between pins 3 & 4. If you just replace it you won't know what is causing the problem.
The pin 3 is connected to the metal on the back of the ic, that is why you need the mica insulator.
If you don't apply heatsink paste to the mica, the ic will run hot, The paste is to help conduct the heat from the ic to the heatsink.Last edited by R_J; 02-01-2020, 07:15 PM.Comment

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
Looks like good news l as when i powered it on after putting the IC back in carefully and making sure of no short or too much heatsink paste squeezing out and getting over other things, it powered up properly I believe because it its making a sound like its powered up and I can hear a hissing from the audio stage which i think was the only thing not isolated after removing that inductor and replacing it with a bulb.
there is 240v at filter cap and output of L802 is flickering between 9 & 12v DC but psu is not completely stable which is why its fluctuating using the bulb instead of the resistor. Even though the bulb is flickering its outputting voltage because I can definitely hear a sound coming from the speakers.
What should I try now?Last edited by roadrash; 02-03-2020, 08:20 AM.Comment

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
L802 is the inductor before the resistor. It will have AC NOT DC voltage. If you have 240vdc on C803. that is close to what it should be
Do you have one bulb or two in place of the resistor? if only one try a second one in parallel. I suspect everything is working, so make sure everything in the secondary is connected as it should be, Then Check the voltages (DC VOLTAGES) on C812 (121VDC) and C814 (12VDC)
If those voltages are close, then remove the lamps and replace it with a jumper wire for now. If the monitor works, then replace the jumper wire with the proper resistor.
C806 & C825 when tested give the following results:
C806: c=233nf vloss=1.5% ESR=1.6 ohms
C825 c=12.25uf vloss=0.7% ESR= 3.0 ohms.Last edited by R_J; 02-03-2020, 09:49 AM.Comment

Did you recheck these caps, and compare the values to the new ones? I will bet that C806 was the problem.
C812=121VDC and C814=9.9VDC So its not far off.
I did try bridging across the R801 resistor but I was a little cautious about what gauge of wire to use so as not to do any other damage somewhere else if there is still a short.
So I used a single strand of copper from a small twisted wire and when I plugged the monitor in it went crack! and blew it up. So either its still shorting or it might be the wire I used couldn't handle the current. What thickness of wire should I use?
Iv'e tested it since then and it is still working ok so no harm done by that.Comment

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
If the wire is too thin it won't work, If the monitor still had a power supply problem you would not be getting the 121 volts for the monitor.
I suspect the original problem was a bad C806, then when you changed ic801 you caused the short that blew the resistor. If you install a wire in place of the resistor and there is a problem, the 4 amp fuse should blow.Comment

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
I fitted a different 60w halogen bulb i got the other day and it almost starts the PSU without another bulb. But If I add another with this one it wont start up. its certainly starting the PSU in as much as its powering up the audio section definitely.
C812=121VDC and C814=9.9VDC So its not far off.
You were getting 121 volts on C812, Were you getting 121v all the way to the deflection circuit and Q402 collector? or just to the lamp across C812?
FROM post52: Ive removed L805 and connected the bulb across C812.Last edited by R_J; 02-09-2020, 11:08 AM.Comment

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
Just been waiting for some 4A fuses to come as i only had 2A fuses left.
You were getting 121 volts on C812, Were you getting 121v all the way to the deflection circuit and Q402 collector?
Not sure and anyway I cant find Q402 in the PSU area where its it connected too?
or just to the lamp across C812?Comment

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
So what is the voltage across C803?
Check if there is a short between pin 3 and 4 of ic801
Check if Q806 or Q805 are ok and not shorted
Something was not working properly or the wire across would not have been an issue.
Check that IC801 is not shorted to the heatsink again.Comment

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
Thank you RJ, Luckinly now I am back to full health again (well apart from having MS) woopee!
No nothing
Check if there is a short between pin 3 and 4 of ic801
Check if Q806 or Q805 are ok and not shorted
I was afraid this might happen with a thick jumper and that's why I used a small thin wire the first time but I guess that thin it probably would have blown just under current draw through it.
Thanks again for all this RJ.Comment

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
Ive removed IC801 to be sure and there is no short.
There is a resistance between the pads 3 & 4 of IC801 that changes value like its connected to a cap or something which the Schematic seems to suggest and I think you mentioned before 27 ohm.
am I right? could this short we are looking for be in this area?Last edited by roadrash; 02-19-2020, 11:56 AM.Comment

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
I have got it back to where we were now and i have the psu working and audio section now working again.
I replaced the IC801 and now its back working and i have a display now look.
What now?Comment

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
Good to see it's working. Feed it some signal and see what it looks like, One capacitor I have changed a lot is tv's and monitors it the drive transformer filter cap. C430 (1µf/160v) If you have one I would replace it.Comment

Re: Help with dead Commodore 1802
I still have the light bulb in place of the resistor and I still have that other bulb in place of the indictor which was done to isolate the psu from everything else except audio so I dont get it how is the screen powering up?Comment

by double_DDHi all,
As the title suggests, how can I be sure that my EC chip is really dead?
I've recently gotten into this hobby of laptop repairs, and have successfully brought back to life a couple with some easy fixes, mostly shorted caps.
Now I'm working on HP Probook 455 G8, that had some "devil" run around on 3V line, burning a bunch of stuff. Luckily I have a dead 455G7 (for spare parts) so I managed to fix it (swapped burned parts) to a point that it will charge (both on barrel jack and usb-c), but it doesn't want to turn on. There is a 3V3 on a keyboard... -
by disorderhello guys,
i need help to repair a edm-033 ps2
history : as always hdmi port and usb ports destroyed after unplugged
after change them, ps5 dead too : 1 beep, no blue light. after inspection 1.8v power was shorted, and because of dead panasonic chip. after remove it : no short anymore
so i changed it
now i have got 5v stby,, 3.3v stby, 3.3v power, 1.8v power and no short on them
but the ps5 is dead again : 1 beep, near 10 seconds with power lines and then off, no blue light ...
i don't see any projection of liquid metal on pcb.

by BetonHi guys!
I searched for the term "dead short" in the forum but no specific thread came up however if I'm just blind and couldn't see the thread talking about this please forward me to that direction.
So my problem is I don't know how to find the source of a dead shorted voltage rail. Dead short = ~0 ohm resistance.
I have two VGAs (HD 4850 and HD 4870), both dead shorted to ground on the memory rail. I have the boardview file for the 4870 and the memory rail consists around ~7892346 capacitors...
I have a bench PSU and if I try to inject voltage the voltage... -
Hello everyone hope all doing well!
I have this PSU (GPS450-AA delta oem) around for like 4-5 years and I had it recapped early 2020 or 2021 with mostly UCC KY and Nichicon PW's. The bulk was and still is fine, the original Ltec's were bloated and empty. The previous issue was some major coil whine noise and at times random shutdowns when going idle. Today it started tripping the mains breaker and I think I have dead APFC mosfets (20N60C3). Right now upon checking I have the Q1 and Q3 FETs dead so far and I guess those are responsible for the PFC circuit. The only thing I care is If there...3 Photos -
Hello, today I'm working on this lovely MSI Raider GE75 gaming laptop which I bought to flip. Unfortunately, I believe the CPU is toast but I wanted a second opinion before I chucked it into my spare parts bin. I will not have most tools with me today as I'm away from my workbench but I have the basics (a good multimeter, a horrible iron, a solid screwdriver, and my trusty thermal cam). I do not have the original 230w charger, but I have a Dell 180w which was sold with the device and reportedly "worked fine for them".
