    imac a1418 21.5inch power

    Hi Sir
    IMac comes out up to 3rd when you press the LED button.
    However, only the fan runs and there is no screen response.
    When the power is turned on, smoke comes out from the photo and the corresponding part and smells of burning.
    The marked part has a ground short.
    Is there any way?

    model is imac 21.inch 2013


    Also, the device was burned and removed.
    Can I remove it?

    The circled parts are ceramic capacitors. It is not clear which parts have been replaced.

    Can you take another picture of the same area and point to which parts you have replaced?

    Are the parts / pads no longer shorting?

    If you do not see the 4th LED on, this means the LCD screen is not communicating with the logic board. Check your LVDS cables, the LVDS connector and their seating.

    Do you see the backlight coming on for the LCD display?

    Any chime from the unit? Cannot recall if this chassis will chime or not on power up but do try the PRAM reset. Hold down the PRAM RESET keys till the system chimes 2 times then let go.

      You need to disclose the full history of the machine, something clearly unnatural happened over there…

        Thank You sir

        I found the cause
        The cause was the problem with the backlight chip
        There was no screen response and no sound, but the cooler worked well.

        Thank you so much for answering.


        Backlight line capacitors went out and it was hard to replace them all.

          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...

          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...

          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...
