    Steelshock 4 v2 controller

    I have got an Steeldigi Steelshock 4 v2 controller won't draw any amp from outlet.
    I have disassembled and removed the battery. I have tied to measure some points. The usb connector shows 5 volts. There are test points and shows 5 volts everywhere it should. The battery connector in diode mode shows 0.009v is it ok?

    There is an U4 chip place, but no chip, between the battery connector and the charging port.

    How should I progress to identify the problem?

    Can anyone help me with this?

    if you plug in the usb, what voltage do you get at the battery connector?
    and what is the actual voltage on the unplugged battery?

      With USB plugged in the pins shows 14 mV
      The original battery shows 0.01 mV
      Replaced with an 3.7V fully charged battery, but the controller won't turned on with it.

          Swapped but nothing changed.
          The LM1 also in the same order, should I swap them too?

            Considering the traces I think the LM1 is in the correct order.
            Here is a picture from the other of the board.

              I tried again to inspect the board with replaced battery and found a very hot components on it.
              After it cooled down tested it with IPA and reconnect quickly turned out that is a LTH9 IC Battery Management chip, 600mA single cell Li-Ion Charger.
              Can it be hot because I've tested it with Li-Pol battery 3.7V 500mA?
              Or because it is faulty?

              If it should be replaced I cannot find any page where I can order replacement.

              I have found LTH7 can it be a good replacement?

                    I've ordered LTC4045 chips from Aliexpress, as it was an alternative as I see.
                    Replaced the chip, but no luck.
                    After replacement put it on charger and showed 40 mA with 0.0 V on the battery. But later the current goes up to 400-500mA, after an hour of wait checked again the battery and it was on 4.0V
                    I've thought this solve my problem, but the controller still not power on with fully charged battery not even from USB.
                    What should I check?

                      trace from the battery - it must go to a microcontroller - maybe through a regulator.
                      and it may go through an inductor or diode that may be bad

                        As I measured from the battery, I have found that diode (HSL, D5) cannot measure any voltage at the output. And seems like it has a little crack or I missed It?

                        If this is the problem, then I cannot find any component like this on Aliexpress or anywhere else.

                          try a 1a rectifier like a 1n4007 just tacked across the pads and see if it works
                          HS is a 1a rectifier

                            by bussincaps
                            Hello All,

                            tl;dr: minimal electronics experience and my first repair, lifted 8 pads off the laptop display LED controller board when attempting a connector replacement, options are attempting pad repair or jump wiring.

                            Laptop Model: MacBook Pro 15 Mid-2014 Retina, A1398 MGXA2LL/A
                            eDP Display: Samsung LSN154YL01-A02, assembly sold as Apple part 661-8310

                            I needed to replace the 30-pin I-PEX Cabline connector (labeled J8300 in the Apple 820-3662 mainboard schematics),...

                            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...

                            Meaco Arete One / Deye Dehumidifier not working
                            by CG2
                            I've got a dehumidifier that has stopped working. Plug it in, press the power switch, and it beeps 5 times. Nothing showing in the display (which is just two 7 segment displays) apart from the two decimal points flashing. The model is a MeacoDry Arete One 18L, which seems to be a rebadged Deye (all the boards are marked Deye). Here's what I've got so far (details in case anyone else in future should need them).

                            Starting with the power board. Mains power comes in at the red connector top left. The compressor is powered by the orange connector to the right of that and is switched by...

                            by master3112
                            I have an ASUS ROG Strix- G513IH-HN008, motherboard G513-6050A3249301- MB-A04 (A4)

                            When I received the device, the device has no function. After an investigation, I found that the PWM CONTROLLER RT6575B (U6100) is getting warm and there is a short circuit at the 3V3 output. This normally supplies 3V3 for the embedded controller IT5571E-128 (U301). When measuring and analyzing with a thermal imaging camera, I found that some components are damaged: SLG4E42553VTR (U8500), IT5571E-128 (U301), LAN RTL8111H (U450), LOGIC 74LVC1G08GW (U1900), RT6575B (U6100) All these components are on...

                            Help identifying connector for ASUS 4090 Strix RGB LED connector
                            by 5mall5nail5
                            Hi All -

                            I had replaced my ASUS 4090 Strix cooler with a waterblock and put the stock cooler on the shelf. Was moving it and snagged my sweater on the connector and pulled the wires out of the pins on the RGB connector. I tried to get them back on but its too small so I opened the stamped pins and tried to solder but its not a good repair and the wire broke on reinstallation.

                            Looking to replace the connector on the cable side and get pins to crimp onto a new cable. Bought random JST and such but nothing is correct. Can anyone help identify the connector and possibly matching...
