    Re: HannsG HW173D dead. Recap = new fault.

    Is the reading suppose to be constant, or does it keep changing and then go to 0V?

      It should be constant.

      Let's make sure your multimeter is working correctly.

      1) If you put it on 200 ohms and touch the red and black probe together, what do you get?

      2) Now put it on 20V DC and measure a new AA cell (battery). What do you get?

        1) .0

        2) AAA is 1.5

          Looks like your multimeter is working correctly.

          Try measuring the voltage regulators again and see if they DC V is fluctuating or not.

            Re: HannsG HW173D dead. Recap = new fault.

            I placed the boards back into the monitor and connected everything. Each regulator pin reads a constant 0.0V.

              hm... do you get any output from the powersupply..?
              if so, those voltage regulators could be shot.. seems strange that both died though.. *scratches head*

                Re: HannsG HW173D dead. Recap = new fault.

                I check the the solder side of the Inverter Board and I have power on the board. Is there a part on that board that I need to check that feeds the Logic Board?

                  Re: HannsG HW173D dead. Recap = new fault.

                  the output voltages from the inverter/psu board to the lcd controller board.

                  the voltages supposed to be on that connector are kinda visible on this pic in the first post (below the pins on the bottom left)
                  https://www.badcaps.net/forum/attach...7&d=1265410253

                  if those are all there and in spec (mainly the 5V and 12V), the next suspects would be those voltage regulators on the LCD controller board for 1.8 and 3.3V.
                  if these are dead (no output or too low), the controller chip in the center of that board has no voltage and the whole monitor plays dead, even if the PSU/inverter are working fine..

                  edit: the voltages might also be printed on the solder side of the inverter/PSU board if you're lucky. would make it a bit easier..

                    After having said that I see that I have no voltage going through to the Logic Board. What can I check now, and do you know where the fuse is located? Thx for all the help.

                      Re: HannsG HW173D dead. Recap = new fault.

                      if the PSU/inverter board looks like the one i've linked in post #28, there are 2 fuses.
                      the mains fuse F101 (brown-ish cylinder below the ground wire at the mains socket) and F240 (black cube to the right of the pins going to the logic/LCD controller board)

                      looks like there was a place for another one of those fuses right next to that connector that just has a jumperwire in it..

                      measure it in diode test mode or low ohms mode. (without mains connected!)
                      if your multimeter says 0L or something like that it's open/bad

                        I removed the black one (F240) and got a diode reading of .001. When you said "without mains connected" I assumed you mean removing the part.

                          Forget what I said about not getting power to the Logic Board. I was using a ground not associated to the pins connecting the two boards. I saw where there was a ground on one of the pins. One pin said it should be 12v and I have 0. The other pin says 5v and I have a reading of .5. This was a DCV reading. Now what?

                            I think the reading you are seeing is a 500mv voltage drop on the ground side of the board.
                            What voltage readings do you get on the other pins using a plated ground screw for your ground?

                                You have two diode packs mounted on the same heatsink. One diode should output 5V and the other 12V. Measure the middle leg of each diode for these voltages. Like alexanna suggested, we need some good focused photos of YOUR boards. Referencing someone else's board photos hinders the troubleshooting process.

                                  In the first post I see a fuse F240 by the connector to the logic board,It would be a good idea to check it if it's not already been done.
                                  Well i mised you post about F240 you might want to check it with an ohmmeter

                                    I did check the continuity on both fuses and they check out.

                                      I just tried to use a different ground and got one diode to bounce between .4V and .6V and 0 on the 12V diode. When the voltage changes from AC to DC, does the ground change?

                                        I can't see the silkscreen on your photos for D240 and D260. On your third photo, they are the only two devices mounted on the same heatsink above the yellow transformer. You mentioned you read 5V on the connector on one of your previous posts. Well, that 5V should coming from one of those two diodes. Is your meter set to DC volts? Try the 20V setting. Place your ground probe on a mounting screw and place your red probe on the middle leg to measure output voltage.

                                          I have the boards out of the monitor and using the ground from the power cord on the solder side. Doing this I get nothing. If I find another ground on the board, the reading on the one diode goes up and down. The other one is zero.

                                            Lenovo M920Q - dead (my fault)
                                            by meciu
                                            So yesterday I was looking for a help because of "black screen" issue after BIOS flash.

                                            I was testing different BIOS/EC dumps found on the Internet, and I've made a big mistake..

                                            After flashing bios & ec - I've plugged mainboard only (with attached radiator) to the power adapter, and after a 1 second saw a smoke coming from motherboard.

                                            Quickly disconnected power-supply and then I saw tweezers touching PCIE bottom pins

                                            The smoke came from burned N-MOSFET PQ809 (SM2404NSANC), replaced it with greater NX7002AK N-MOSFET...

                                            Hi 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...

                                            Hello everyone. 😀

                                            As per thread title, this unit has a serious SMPSU fault. It blows F1001, which is a 10A M205 in the phase from the mains input.
                                            Very first thing I tried, was simply replacing the fuse, but the replacement ceramic fuse blew immediately.

                                            Looking at the schematic for this PSU, I then removed what I thought was the next likely candidate: D1001 - the HV main bridge rectifier.
                                            This isolated the fault(no longer blows the main fuse), but does not point me to the actual fault.
                                            There are no devices that have exploded or otherwise show signs...

                                            ESR meter came to the rescue again today with a PLC I/O card fault
                                            by sam_sam_sam
                                            I have been having a fun time at work with two pieces of equipment that had shorted components or shorted component cables to machine frame
                                            I would check what my multi meter was telling me about how many ohms I getting with the multi meter was telling versus the ESR was telling me about weather or not it really was a short to machine ground or not

                                            One note at first we thought that it might be a bad I/O card or a malfunction PLC including me as well but I thought I would try and see if removing the I/O cables would make a difference or not and this time it did make a difference...

                                            so i changed it
