    I have a 2007 WFP that I am going to be working on today, the only problem it has is with one of the back lights. Initially when I was testing this on the bench I neglected to have the USB board attached, and of course the monitor would not work, so like pedro and PlainBill state it plays an important role in generating the other voltages.
    If you need to know what any of the good pin or component voltages on the USB board are let me know.

    I'm sure it is. There appear to be four bucking regulators on the USB card. This is definitely an older design; I came across something similar on a Viewsonic VP211B; on that monitor the power supply put out about 18Vdc; the bucking regulators and the USB hardware were on the signal card.

    I've been pouring over the pictures for the last 15 minutes, getting more frustrated by the minute. First of all, if you have 19 volts on the USB card, the power supply is working.

    Next, what are the voltages on each of the 12 pins connecting the signal card to the USB card?

    There are 4 regulators you have indicated have 19V on two pins. What are the part numbers of those 4 ICs?

    Last, what is the part number of U2 on the USB card. What is the voltage on the three pins?

    Hmm. Something is nagging me about this USB board. I seem to recall PlainBill saying something about being a DC-DC converter. Let me search around to see if I can find it.

    On one yet to be solved monitor, whenever I hooked up the logic card, my power supply went from 12V DC to 0V DC.

    I wonder if the USB board is shorting out the logic board? Try removing the USB board and re-measuring the logic board for DC voltages?

    Of course, my monitor is dead so I can't even measure voltages. Looking at the power board, there is only one 470uF 35V cap which leads me to think that 19V DC is the only secondary voltage provided?

    I just traced the circuit on the board for those 2 wires (brown and Black) coming into the logic board that read 19v. They go directly to the connector that connect to the USB board.
    they don't energize the logic board at all. I've tested several other components on the logic board they they all read 0v, the entire board has no voltage. The usb board however is a hole slew of components reading 19v.

    This leads me to believe that there has to be another wire that energizes the logic board, however there isn't. take a look at the USB board. its hot. the logic is dead.

    Other than replacing the voltage regulators, I can only think of the caps on the logic board being user replaceable. Everything else is too small or too complicated or proprietary to replace.

    Maybe a cap is bad on the logic board?

    Here is how I test voltage regulators. Put your black probe on the ground screw (this is your ground) on the logic board. Put your red probe on each pin of the 3 legged voltage regulator.

    Now what do you read?

    The weird thing is when I try to tone it out (continuity beep) they don't all ring out. On U13 only the left legs rings out and on U5 the middle leg rings out. I"m using one of the screw holes rings on the board for ground.

    Any thoughts?

    On my board, all pins on both regulators are shorted to ground.

    Hmm, good point.

    What are you using for ground when measuring U13 and U5?

    The fact that you are getting 19V DC on the wires shows that voltage is getting to the main board, but the voltage regulators are dead.

    If you are not getting any DC voltage on U13 and U5, that would explain the lack of the power led going green. That means U13 and/or U5 are both bad. If you have junk boards laying around, you may be able to desolder an old one and use it. Or just order them from digikey or mouser.

    On mine, U13 is 952T43 (a 1.8V 1A)

    http://www.alldatasheet.com/view.jsp?Searchword=952T43

    U5 is 950T65 (2.5V 1A)

    http://www.alldatasheet.com/view.jsp?Searchword=950T65

    1.8V and 2.5V DC is what you should get if the regulators are working properly.

    If you are getting 19V DC at CN701, that implies your power board/supply is working.

    On the logic board, now measure the DC voltage each pin on both voltage regulators. Even though these regulators are not shorted (like mine), they still could be out of specification.

    retiredcaps, Thanks for the compliments on the pictures, I realize how critical it is when working on an item that you don't have in front of you. I"m a big fan of close up detailed pics.
    I've checked the U13 and U5 components on my board and they read ok, not shorted. Also read the the 2 diodes (FD4) on the USB board and they too were not shorted (i also checked every diode of the same Part# number as FD4) .
    And yes you're correct, 19V is what I'm getting.

    Rtech, I removed Schottky diode (D701) to test out of the board and it checks OK. I put it back in and plugged the board in, Both caps C711 and C713 read 19 vdc across.
    I was able to read the part number off the 8 legged chip, it is 200a6, I also hunted down the datasheet for it witch I uploaded. I'm not exactly sure what to look for in that datasheet so your more than welcome to talk a look at it.

    What I did find is a shorted diode on the bottom side of the power board, (D604). its to the left of the 8 leg SMPS chip (if looking at my pic). other than that I can't seem to find anything els.
    Thanks for helping out guys, anything else I should be looking at?

    The 160V on both pins of the transformer is probably correct,and one of thos normally goes to the Large Filter cap,and the other to the Mosfet on the Heatsink.Provided the SMPS chip ( the 8 legged one )next to the transformer,is functioning correctly,then this drives the Mosfet to feed the transformer. On the other side then,where you are getting 0 volts,is probably not the best place to check.D701 looks like a Schotky diode,and the rectified voltage from that,feeds C711 and C713..measure the DC voltage across the caps and check the diode by using the diode test funtion on your meter(if you have one)The latter with the power OFF.Also advise the part code of the 8 legged smps chip ?

    Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
    by Tynan Dill
    I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

    Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

    I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

    The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

    With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

    Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
    by PantherDave
    Hi all!

    I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

    I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

    Seeking Advice: Repairing Dell U3425WE Monitor with Faulty USB-C/Thunderbolt Ports
    by Borse2008
    Hi everyone,

    Looking for some advice or opinions on what to do with a monitor issue I’ve run into. Apologies in advance is this crossovers a few forum categories.

    I have a Dell U3425WE, which I've recently replaced with another model. That said, the original unit is still fully functional in terms of the display — it works perfectly over HDMI and DisplayPort. However, the USB-C and Thunderbolt 4 ports have stopped functioning correctly. The Issue:
    • The 90W Thunderbolt 4 port (circled in the photo) no longer charges or powers any device, including laptops or MacBooks.
    • There’s

    Dell Optiplex 7490 AIO - red power led after flash
    by Mark01
    Hi guys,

    This is my first post! 🚀
    I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’m learning by trial and error.

    I’m currently working on a Dell Optiplex AIO 7490—one of a bunch of AIOs that mysteriously failed to POST just a few days after the warranty expired. The original issue was that the PC worked fine until it was rebooted, after which it got stuck on a black screen (no backlight), with fans spinning at normal speed and a solid white power LED. Forcing it off by holding the power button would just cause it to switch on automatically and get stuck again on...

    hey guys, hoping for some pointers to repair an eBay bought "faulty" laptop.

    Ill try and give as much info as I can.

    Dell Inspiron 17 (7786) Laptop
    Service Tag: 5J0NHT2

    When I received this , it would only flicker on the KB backlight for a second, then off and on.
    Then it started getting weirder!
    Sometimes when attaching the AC power supply, and pressing various pre-boot diagnostic keyboard keys... it did try to boot, in fact out of a hundred attempts, the laptop did actually boot into the Bios ! but never has...
