    imac 21.5 820-3126-A 2011 dont power on

    The device was brought to me after self-cleaning. After replacing the thermal interfaces, the iMac stopped turning on. While the client was rummaging around in it, he touched the power supply with the processor radiator, after which there was a bang.

    I examined the power supply, replaced the burnt-out Zener diode ZD36 and the PWM controller DAP017. Now there are standby 12 and 4 volts

    When connecting the board to the power supply, autostart occurs, only LED 501 lights up. The cooler starts to rotate, after half a second it stops and so on in a circle. For these half a second, the main 12 volts appear, other voltages try to rise. I examined the board under a microscope, did not find any knocked-down elements or any obvious faults. All resistances are within normal limits. I took out and reinserted the central processor, took out the discrete video card. The board without peripherals behaves the same way.
    The client said that before he shorted the power supply, the device behaved the same way

      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.

      Assuming...

      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.

      Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue
      by GLISIT
      Hi all,

      TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


      I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

      A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

      Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
      by sam_sam_sam
      I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

      One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

      iMac A1418 - No LED, no power after overvoltage on Ethernet port
      by ryogadan78
      Hi guys, I need your help again.
      I have this iMac from a customer that shut down during a storm along with all the other devices in the house. In particular, the router, connected via Ethernet to the iMac, caught fire.
      When I removed the screen from the iMac to check the status of the LEDs, I noticed that none of them were lit. I had a perfectly compatible and working power supply, so I tried it right away, but the problem remained the same (no LEDs). With the thermal camera, I noticed only a slight warming (32 degrees) of the NCP1605BG chip on the power supply. The rest was completely...
