    Agilent DSO-X 2012A no power repair

    Well, my trusted Agilent DSO-X 2012A quit on me this morning after an hour of work. Darrn... in the middle of something of course.
    Called Agilent Tech Support and they were awesome in helping me to find a new one (Thanks bud R.R.!).

    Anyway... since that bean is already bad, why not open it and see if I can fix it? Sorry no pics this time around. However here is the fix:

    * Fuse F1 blown 250V 6.3V mini
    * Main filter capacitor dead short and hot as @#$%^! 420V 100uF

    Took the main filter cap out, checked for other shorts or opens on the PSU and I didn't find any. Replaced the fuse and the main filter cap with parts out of my bin and all is O.k.

    Happy ending at least. Back to work.

    Cost: Zero $$$

      I should have figured that you would want to know...

      It was a Nichicon GU(M) series, 105C rated. 420V, 100uF

      Visually it is looking normal, maybe a slight bulge on the top if light shines on it. However it has a dead short like 0.2 Ohm.

      I replaced it with a 400V, 120uF cap I had... and the fuse too... Works fine as kind!
      The PSU has a PFC built in. Does 12V at like 10 amps or so. Look at the attachment.

        hang on, why does a scope need 12v at 10A??

          Good question. Apparently the PSU only has one output and that is 12V and it can do 10 amps. I don't know why that ole scope needs that kind of power, but it does have a few extra things like a generator.

            this means you can run them on dc from battery packs

              yeah... the Siglent is very nice for the money. Mine is getting old now, but still works good... well... as long as the caps don't short out...

                64PN5500 | BN44-00618A Main fuse keeps popping
                by nickgronk
                Power supply board BN44-00618A keeps blowing main fuse and nothing plugged in to it.
                I was gifted a 64PN5500AF, picture was amazing, but tv smelled like cigarettes and was dusty AF. I opened it up, blew all the dust out of it, removed PSB & main, and cleaned the metal underneath. Also blew all the dust off all other boards. Put the power supply back in, then mainboard. Soon as I turned it on there was a "pop".
                The main fuse (T12AH250V) blew
                I removed the power supply to be sure nothing underneath, all good. Soldered on a t12ah250v fuse and sure enough it popped...

                Is it possible to upgrade from a Vestel 17MB97 main board to a 17MB110 Main board?
                by cheeky2
                I suppose the real question is whether the existing pinouts from ether a 17IPS71 psu are cross compatible with a 17IPS12 psu? If they are then the exchange of the main boards should have no issues providing the screen is compatible with both main boards. Obviously you can change the screen configurations easily enough (providing you have the correct files) for the main board. Why may you ask would I do this? Well a lot of the smart features are no longer working on a Hitachi 48HBT62U main board I wish to give it a new lease of life!
                Obviously the same LVDS connector for the screen connection...

                Hi and thanks in advance for any input you might provide!
                I have a Sceptre U550CV-UMRD8POTV83BB 4K LED (this is a dumb tv) that I bought new in August 2021, so It's just completed 3 years.

                Last Sunday I was watching a dvd and fell asleep for about half hour, when I awoke the tv screen was black and couldn't get the dvd menu to show, so I changed the input to antenna and had sound but no picture, turned it off. I then got online and found this great site! ....read many troubleshooting tips and this...

                Help Needed: Samsung UE55MU8000 Dead - Possible Main Board Issue
                by Asraf Atb
                Hi everyone,

                Im looking for some advice regarding my Samsung UE55MU8000 TV with main board model BN94-11606C. The TV suddenly stopped turning on and now shows no signs of life at all not even the standby light at the bottom.

                Initially, I suspected an issue with the PSU, so I took it to a repair center. They tested it and confirmed that the PSU works perfectly, even on other TVs. Based on that, I started investigating the main board.

                I disconnected the main board from the PSU, and the backlight turned on, which seems to confirm the main board is the issue....

                LG 47LB5DF blown power supply board
                by cmlewis89
                Hi folks,

                I'm new to this forum. So my trusty 17-year-old LG 47" LCD recently died. As I was booting it up, I heard a hum followed by a loud bang, sounds of pieces flying around, and loss of power to the unit. Inspecting the PSU, I saw two obvious problems: a blown thermistor (bang + flung pieces) and a visibly bulging main cap. Inspecting as many components as I could with my Fluke MM, I diagnosed that the following components on the "hot side" of the board were also bad: one of the 2 main MOSFETs, main 8A fuse, small cap (25V 47uF) connected to main caps, and a blown...
