    There are several phases as it lowers the frequency required for switching elements and spreads heat dissipated across them. Some VRMs have up to 10 phases! High end expensive ones. The higher the frequency the lower the output ripple. So many phases is something desirable to get that frequency high. The controller monitors many things. Current, Voltage, switching, etc. I ignore some of the details. But basically it does that, take high voltage and lower it in the most efficient possible way keeping it constant no matter power consumed by CPU.

    The other circuit I am dealing with does the same. I removed some of the regulators and chips in their output path and nothing changed. Someone suggest me in another forum to change the controller chip same as stj. Let's see how I can get one of those new chips. I have no oscilloscope to see what it is spitting so that is my best choice I think.

    Just a buck converter for the CPU. It just lowers the 12v from input to the VID specified by the CPU.

    PLL was use for FM radios so that when the frequency carrier started to drift a feedback circuit would correct it on the input oscillator. I am assuming that with the a power supply that is frequency modulated the modulator has a tendency to drift so they are using the PLL to correct this error.

    Sorry don't understand this. Where they have a phase lock loop and how it could be related? PLL are used for clocking right? How it is related? The chip seems to have some internal clock with external possibility not used in the design and osc frequeancy selectable through a pin.

So seems to me that part of the circuit is driven by the NCP5425 (http://www.onsemi.com/PowerSolutions....do?id=NCP5425) through those resistances R5F5 and R5F6.

    Re: xbox 360 blowing mosfet

    I noticed this model is not the same exactly as the one in the schematic (Xenon), it is a Falcon board. It has no SMD resistors coming from the controller to the gates and has this controller http://www.analog.com/en/products/po...s/adp1823.html

    I tried another thing. I removed the USB ports since they were bent anyways and just in case they had some shorts. I have a Xenon board bent and broken picked from the garbage, with some stuff missing but the USB ports and many things are ok.

    So putted another mosfet and took the risk to power it on. Well this time it holded and didn't got damaged but the power brick is sensing something as the console spins the fans for a second and then the power brick turns the led red activating sort of an overcurrent protection mechanism.

    Sometimes in SMPW I get the Mosfets blown when the feedback is damaged as they run on superhigh duty cycle. Also with shorts somewhere else as the tension output is so low the duty cycle is way too high for the Mosfet.

    if yes, then whatever is driving the gate pin may be damaged.

    I don't see short circuits in that area. I put the Meter in diode mode to test continuity and there are none with ground.

    Re: xbox 360 blowing mosfet

    Ok I replaced those two with ones from another console, it got fairchild ones (both were damaged) so I putted two On semiconductor new ones (tested as good on the transistor tester) http://www.onsemi.com/PowerSolutions...o?id=NTD60N02R



    You see the one closer to the CPU next to the small black capacitor blew two times. No smoke no holes no nothing. The fan tries to start for a second then it stops entirely. It gets damaged and shows as to resistors on the tester. Maybe the controller chip? Just wondering. I don't have oscilloscope to test.

    Are you sure this gotta do with GPU reflow thing? That part of the circuit I think feeds USB and drives with 5V. Testpoints on all other parts give me 0v readings for RAM, CPU VRM and GPU VRM. Standby testpoints are the only ones good, 3.3v and 1.8v on the upper side of the board. No more voltage readings anywhere else.

    I know it gets +12 v on the upper Mosfet base for a short while if I remove it and start the console. Then goes back to zero and give the three rings.

    Yes I know towel trick is bad stuff. I just tried it to test it. I had no solder station then. Strange thing is it started for sure and I got video. Then it lost video but was still making sound (so yes maybe GPU reflow as you say is needed). After that trying to start it again it gave me sound, the Mosfet failed and the power brick turned the led red.

    I think there are two things here. GPU problem and something else. I am looking to find that other problem and then jump into GPU reflow.

    Post a picture of your board and tell us exactly what parts you think failed (i.e. Qxx, Cxx, etc.) and what you replaced them with.

    Also, the towel "trick" is simply that - it is a crappy temporary repair at best, and usually does more damage than good. If you got an RROD with a secondary code typical of GPU failure, then do a reflow on the GPU. Here is a rather crude but fairly easy method:
    https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...3&postcount=15

    Again, do NOT use oven or towel "tricks" - they are always done by people who don't know what they are doing. Spending a little bit of money to get decent tools (a heatgun and temperature probe) is a must if you want to do it properly, and especially if you intend to keep your 360 console working for as long as possible or fixing other 360 consoles.

    Asus GA502D keeps blowing mosfet
    by Scotchmist
    I have an Asus GA502D, it had a blown mosfet which I replaced and the laptop booted into windows, a few mins later it shut off, the same mosfet was blown. I thought maybe just a bad mosfet but same thing happened again, a few mins in windows and shuts off.

    I have removed the mosfet and can run the laptop no problem

    The MOSFET is FDPC5018SG

    Can anyone point me in the direction of what could be the cause of this, could it be the controller rt3663bc?

    Thanks

    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

    An Xbox One PSU Odyssey
    by TMTGTR
    Firstly I am not a tech. You guys may see mistakes or oversights in my methods so don't be bashful and feel free to post corrections/opinions.

    =>Background:
    I bought my son a used Xbox One original model: A12-220N1A Rev: 02 with original PSU & 2 controllers 7 years ago. I “modded” the unit placing a 4.5” 12V exhaust fan with a 9v wall wart adapter on top of the vent/fan of the unit. And plugged the Xbox PSU into a Tripplite LTR-600 voltage regulator. Also connected to the Tripplite are a 275w computer tower, an Xbox 360 PSU and a Westinghouse 52” LED TV. ...

    Xbox One S - 12V Rail Short - Q9F1 Keeps Blowing
    by grimacelord
    Hello,

    Have an Xbox One S here that has a short on the 12V power rail. There is no power, beep, or partial fan spin when connecting power cable.

    After diagnosing with thermal camera, Q9F1 MOSFET (NTTFS4C50N) is getting hot. When I remove this MOSFET, the short on the 12V rail disappears.

    I first replaced Q9F1 with one from a donor board and then partially reassembled the Xbox to test. When I plugged the power cord in, I got a partial fan spin and I thought I had fixed it, but unfortunately, the Xbox still did not power on. So I then disassembled the Xbox...

    VGA MOSfet permanently shorted and loss of MOSfet pad
    by Nooy
    Hello everyone, I recently found this badcaps site and super Learn Electronics Repair youtube channel. And I wanted to learn how to troubleshoot power supplies and VGA cards and how to practice soldering, since I already have a properly defective piece of them. I am currently trying to solve two problems:

    I have a Gigabyte GV-RX460WF2OC-4GD type card. I managed to find the faulty MOSfet (AON6414A) on it, which I replaced. The card starts up, but after about half a minute, the MOSfet in the same position will be shorted again. Is it possible that the PWM controller driving the MOSfet...
