    Want to repair iMac 2009 A1312 EMC2309, Mac10,1

    Bought an iMac 27inch 2009 core 2 duo version. Cannot power on when I first got it. So I dismantled it and check. Switch on the mains and the led 1 lights up, tried to power on, doesn't respond. So I was checking things out seeing if the connectors are in place. found the ODD fan wires loose, so I took it out and clean it up. Forgot to plug it back in and turn on the iMac. Saw the MOSFET D5600 smoking. Would like to seek for expert's help here, what could have caused the MOSFET to burn. What component should I buy to replace. Please refer to the attached picture.

    iMac 2009 A1312 2009 not booting - 3rd led not on
    by sylvain_92
    Hi everyone,

    I am trying to repair my iMac A1312 late 2009 intel i5.

    First of all it was booting but no screen on internal lcd but working with external one,

    I tried:
    - another screen and led power board (booting no screen - same as before)
    - another mxm graphic card (not booting missing 3rd led)

    * screen and mxm gpu tested are 100% working on another A1312 iMac.

    I putted back the original mxm graphic card and what a surprise, now it's not booting anymore even with the stock parts.

    The main...

    A1312 (27” iMac 2009-2011) A1407 (Thunderbolt Display) A1316 (Cinema Display) Display Black Screen Repair

    Problem

    This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

    iMac 2017 PSU - shorted PFC mosfet
    by mat2k
    I am trying to fix an iMac 2017 PSU, initially came with a blown fuse and shorted PFC MOSFET (6R199P). After visual inspection and some measurements I replaced the FET with a P20NM60 and tested with 100w series lamp, and it lasted 1 second before going into dead short. The PFC controller chip (NCP1605BG) and its passives appear fine (passives measure OK), but I do not know if there is a simple way of testing the NCP1605 as I wouldn't like to blind-replace it.
    There was some slight blackening of the solder on the PFC controller passives so I reflowed them all with some flux. I am waiting...

    iMac 820-2507 A1312 27" 3.06Ghz C2D all USB delivering power but no communication
    by slimmy182
    I purchased an iMac 820-2507 A1312 27" 3.06GHz C2D with a hard drive issue. The operating system wouldn't load, but everything else seemed to be working fine. I tried leaving it powered on to reinstall the OS from a USB drive, but the hard drive completely failed. I suspect it short-circuited because it started getting very hot.

    I then opened the iMac and installed an SSD (without an adapter for the thermal sensor, which I left disconnected). After closing it up and turning it on, the computer loaded the operating system without issues. However, when I reached the login screen...

    How do you test MOSFET in laptops ?
    by Jane
    I tried to use this method:

    Testing an N-channel MOSFET:

    Step 1: Discharge the Gate (turn off the MOSFET)
    Place the black probe (COM) on the Source (S) and the red probe on the Drain (D). The multimeter should show no continuity (high resistance or "OL" – open line).
    Then, touch the black probe to the Source (S) and the red probe to the Gate (G). This discharges any stored charge in the Gate, turning the MOSFET off.

    Step 2: Charge the Gate (turn on the MOSFET)
    Now, place the red probe on the Gate (G) and the black probe on the
