    Re: AOC LM725 Dead

    Sorry Guys,

    I am just a Novice here, at times cannot catch up hehe ..

    yes, i was afraid the damage might affect the main board, I have it main board disconnected since i got into said trouble

    the portion in Yellow circle, the reading is 320V DC , I observe the Pin 3

    of the driver IC is just around 3v dc ( yellow line)

    the entire secondary winding ( red circle) is dead ( see front and back of board pic)

    i try testing the components in the primary side, all appear to be ok
    resistor, diode and the 2 transistor

    Previously i had experience blown fuse, wherein the entire rectifier/filter capacitro ended up short, i replace the Mosfet , it stop blowing , could it be that controller IC got damaged as well

    Could it be the IC is faulty , any suggestion i try replace it ?

    thanks

      The IC 901 was indeed the culprit !! SG6841DZ I searched the whole electronic parts district , said IC was not yet available locally Except i dropped by a electronic shop that sold it , the shopkeeper told me, they import it online, since there were some inquiries on it , sadly the price is 3x the price sold in Aliexpress and other online services . the consolation is , its readily available, ( took weeks even months if to buy online from China ) , and best of all, it finally work !!

      thanks

        Yes, if the switching MOSFET shorts then you end up wtih that 320VDC going straight into the drive pin of the switching IC (IC901 here) and it will be destroyed.

        Would have helped if you told us in the beginning that you had to replace the MOSFET\Bridge\capacitor... then we'd have said straight away to check the IC.

        Good to hear you got it fixed though! Thanks for letting us know how it went.


        PS: While you're in there, check the solder joints around the inverter transformers and drive transistors. These parts run hot and the solder joints can become bad after a while. If the solder joints go bad it's a risk that the drive transistors will blow.

          Yes, i was indeed a Novice ,

          Yes, do encounter the shorted MOSFET, ( result is the blown fuses)
          I replace the mosfet taken from another old board, ( also a AOC LCD monitor, but older model ), also swap the transformer, several mylar capacitor as well

          I also encountered the case, where the monitor kept on turning on and off after it was powered up , took time to found out, there are cold solders ( which appears intact at first glance) located in the one of the step up transformer connecting to the lamps

          yes, for reminder , I check over it

            yes, thanks for the reminder, i think you are referring to the 2 pairs of 5706 transistors , I have them replaced some weeks earlier, when i encounter a pair is defective , the symptom then is , once power up, the screen will black out after 2 second , i learned to fix it from this Forum as well

              Yes, those 2SC5706 transistors which drive the inverter transformers.

                How can I be sure that my EC chip is dead?
                by double_DD
                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...

                ps5 edm-033 dead after hdmi/usb ports destroyed
                by disorder
                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.
                ...

                Finding a dead short component
                by Beton
                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...

                Chieftec GPS-450-AA with dead 20N60C3
                by zunasthegreat
                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
                by Rav_tangle
                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...
