I have a Dell GX520 USFF that I want to re-cap. Can I just buy the GX620 USFF kit? I could not find any information on the Boards used. I can post the boards model# tonight if that might help.
Thanks,
Eric

Re: GX520 same board as GX620?
make a list of the caps in it or post a foto.

Re: GX520 same board as GX620?
I took a close look, and can't seem to find any caps that are bulging or leaking... This may not be a cap issue after all. I tested the PS, but it tests good. The thing just shuts down randomly. Sometimes it will stay on for hours, even days. But other times it won't even make it to the Windows logon screen before shutting down.
Here is the best pic i could get. Could it still be a cap issue?
BTW, It looks like they were all Rubycon caps with exception from 6 caps located near the socket and 1 next to dimm2...Attached FilesComment

GX620's will blow the little 4&5 mm caps which don't always bloat.
Presumably the GX520 will too.

Re: GX520 same board as GX620?
I tested using a nifty little powersupply tester that I got on eBay a while back. It does not provide actual voltage, but rather a red or green led that's based on wether it's getting the voltage that it's supposed to get per wire. I probably should go in with a multimeter to verify. It shuts down and flashes an amber light on the power button. It does not restart.

Re: GX520 same board as GX620?
The problem with those is that they don't put enough load on the PSU to tell you if the PSU is good in a real world application.
They will tell you if a PSU is stone dead...
But they won't tell you if a PSU will run a system.
It's not -> go/no go
It's -> no go/maybe

Re: GX520 same board as GX620?
What would be the best way to test then? Should I just boot the computer and test the wires one by one with a multimeter?Comment

Re: GX520 same board as GX620?
Check the voltages with a multimeter while the system is doing something beyond just being idle.
It's either that or scare up a slew of test loads.Mann-Made Global Warming.

You have a desktop or small form factor GX520, the GX620 that like to bake caps are usually ultra small form factor - very different systems.
Is your cooling fan working correctly? Is the heatsink seated correctly?Comment

Re: GX520 same board as GX620?
I'll try with a different PS to see. And check caps in original PS as well.

Re: GX520 same board as GX620?
Sorry I've been inactive for a bit. Ok, so it's a GX520 SFF, not USFF... But yeah, deffinatly not teh same board.
What program should I run to runup the load to test the PS? Would a Dell diagnostics or memtest scan be suffecient? or is there another program that will give me the load that I would need to get a good test?
Thanks for the help,
EricComment

Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?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.

Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic... -
All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)- TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
- Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

Hi There,
This TV was auto switching off after few seconds with some vertical lines on the screen, so got a new TCON board and replaced it.
After replacing the TCON board it was working fine and i set it up with everything, used for few hours, then had the bright idea to update the software on it. During the update process, TV switched off and now no audio or video. No relay switch sound.
