    AOC LM725 Dead

    Can anybody help me with my aoc LM725. No sign of power. Fuse is good as i check. I measured a 327vdc at the filter cap 100uf/400v. PWM ic SG6841 has a vdd measured 14vdc but the sense pin#3 measured 17vdc. is it an indication of a bad PWM IC? datasheet says that pin #3 should be between -.3 to 7vdc. any help is aprreciated. no output at the secondary as ive check..

    Would you like nice help or sarcastic help?

    OK, I'll be nice - you've done a pretty good job so far. Look at the reference circuit on page 11 of the typical application circuit on the Silicon General datasheet. Look at the value of R8, and tell me how much current would have to be flowing through a 0.3 ohm resistor to give 17 volts at pin 3.

      Re: AOC LM725 Dead

      Ok thanks for the hint. it seems that the MOSFET P9NK60ZPF is bad since it draws much current and being sense by the PWM IC SG6841. By ohms laws there is a 56.6667 amperes flowing at R8. .3ohms am i right. So what should i do next do i have to test the MOSFET? how to test this kind of transistor? Can you please give me some advice to do the test. thanks in advance plainbill

        First ask yourself a few more questions. What is the capacity of the circuit this monitor is plugged into? What size fuse is on the input to the monitor? How is it possible to get 57 amps from a 15 or 20 amp circuit? How is it possible to get 57 amps through a 5 amp fuse?

        With the monitor unplugged, check the resistance from pin 3 to ground. Odds are it is much higher than .3 ohms. The FET MIGHT be bad. Or the SG6841 may have been destroyed by the voltage on pin 3. But it is a safe bet that the sense resistor is open.

          Re: AOC LM725 Dead

          So nice at this point. R8 value of AOC LM725 as i check on the service manual is .39 ohm / 2watt and I think it is a metalized or flameproof resistor that is not available here in the philippines. During resistance testing it shows that i get a 1 ohm value of that resistor designated as R919 of AOC it is a 5 color band resistor, the first band is orange followed by white, silver, gold and green. One question is it a characteristic of a metalized or flamefroof resistor than even it is open it still give a reading? These 2 watts 5 band resistor with respect to the color value it must be .39 ohm +-5% so i must have a reading more or less .4095 ohms. By the way resistance at pin#3 is 1 ohm as i've check when R919 of AOC is connected R8 of the application circuit mentioned earlier. But when i disconnect R919 pin#6 of SG6841 reading at pin#3 is .45Mega ohms. Any idea so far? Thanks for the fast reply to this problem.

            You will have to check all components in the primary side of the SMPS for damage. I would pay particular attention to the power FET, and any components associated with the current sense resistor. The datasheet should help you with this.

              Ok thanks, I've check earlier the FET and only the drain to source has a reading of .4v at diode test but fail to drain as i touch the gate with my finger. Any recommended ciruit that might help in testing mosfet? THanks for the great help...

                Can I substitute the P9NK60ZPF with P5NK60ZPF? Any idea?

                  Probably. The P9NK60ZPF seems to be rated for higher current.

                    Yah P9NK60zpf is 7amps rating while P5NK60ZPF is a 5amp MOSFET. Now another question can i safely run the FET when i replace a 2watts resistor with a 5watts resistor of same value .39ohms?

                      Definitely yes. The power rating of a resistor is the maximum power it can dissipate. If it has to dissipate less, there is no problem.

                        Thank you so much sir plainbill, i will post my experience once i finish repairing this monitor. From now i'm awaiting for the PWM IC SG6841 since it is not available here in Philippines. Again thnak you so much for the time you share with me.

                          My two shoes are 12" x 4" x 2 = 1/2 square foot. 190 pounds on those lying perfectly flat will produce 380 pounds per square foot which goes way up when rolling up on the ball and heel.

                              What problems do you get with the monitor?

                                Hi Agent 24

                                good day , the board look exactly like this below , the c913 is the blue capacitor between the yellow square transformer and the connector

                                yeah, i maybe wrong, just a rough guess , the main problem is there is no voltage output in the secondary winding

                                I checked the capacitor this morning, it appears ok, so right now, dont know where is the culprit

                                          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 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.
                                          ...

                                          Hi 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...

                                          MacBook Pro 2011 turns on with keyboard light , screen dead

                                          Hi all , thanks for having me & I think this has been asked before but my case seems a bit odd.
                                          I have a MacBook Pro , board 820-2915a and it turns on , chimes etc etc , keyboard lights up, fans spins , can turn caps lock on/off but screen is dead.
                                          Iv tried the resets , shine torch through back logo , nothing , it seems the screen has no power. If I plug charger , it charges but if I disconnect battery it displays green light but won't turn on. Iv tried screen on with another board & it works & seems I'm not getting any voltage at pin 2 , next to ground pin .
                                          is this...
