    Mosfet interchangeability-A4710 with 4712

    Hi, I have an ACER 5820TG that only boots as far as the Acer logo and then shuts down. It won't boot again unless the AC plug is removed and re-inserted. I have found a mosfet that is faulty. It is AO4710. My question is can I use a Vishnay 4712 as a replacement? The data sheets are here http://www.vishay.com/docs/65170/si4712dy.pdf and here http://aosmd.com/pdfs/datasheet/AO4710.pdf. So that I don't have to ask in the future, can somebody tell me what the crucial parameters are? I know it has to be the same channel, voltage and dimensions but is there anything else I should look for on the data sheets? Grateful for help, as always.

    Sorry, the link to the 4712 is here

    http://www.vishay.com/docs/65170/si4712dy.pdf

    Maybe I'll just do it!

      I had to deal with just such a repair job...

      So the voltage can be higher, it's just a maximum rating, but the most important thing is that the RdsON matches or exceeds the spec. So it should be lower at equivalent draw.

      The AO4710 has a typical RdsON of 11.7 mOhms @ 4.5V 11A, while the Vishay si4712dy has a rating of 13 mohms @ 4.5V 10A. So the Vishay part is actually slightly inferior. If you tell me which site your ordering from, I might be able to find you something better.

        Thank you for that. I was starting to think nobody liked me, lol. impossible. I was actually going cheap and salvaging off a scrap motherboard. Now that I know a little more of what to look for I'll see what else is on my supply of dead MB's but I guess digikey would be one to buy from if tey sell in low qty. Mockingbird is this a similar repair to the one you did - an ACER 5820TG?

          No, I am repairing an old LCDTV. It uses the same package type (soic-8 or SOP-8), but it's unique in the sense that it has both an N-Channel and P-Channel MOSFET in one.

          No need to buy anything really, I think the 4712 will be just fine.

          I had to use two irons to remove the thing.

            Couldn't find one on the scrap boards. This one (AO 4410) looks like it would do http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/5PCs-ORIG...item589a6a8283. The specs are here http://aosmd.com/pdfs/datasheet/AO4410.pdf. It doesn't have a schottky diode only a plain one. Do you think there would be any problems?

              I didn't read your second post until now. I'll use the 4712 Thank you again for your input.

                Absolutely destroyed the mosfet trying to get it off the old board. I need to learn how to do this.

                  Just make sure not to rip off pads when you're removing it from the board you're repairing.

                  Add a blob of solder to both sides of legs (Being careful not to get it on nearby tiny SMD caps or resistors), heat the blobbed pins with soldering irons from both sides at the same time, lift off. Make sure not to drop it on the motherboard because if it falls on something while it has some molten solder attached to it, the solder could stick to something important on the board.

                  After, clean pads with wick, clean off flux residue making sure not to damage pads, and put in new SOP8/SOIC-8 package using the corner pin tack method.

                    Thank you once again. I'll use your advice for some much needed practice. I've seen a few youtube videos on how to remove SMD components and they make it look so easy. My efforts so far have involved carbonating the component, burning the pads and/or my fingers and a lot of cursing. The only ones I've had success with are removing smd caps.

                      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

                      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...

                      Asus X712EA 3 volts after the first mosfet
                      by AppleLover123
                      Hey guys,

                      i have a asus motherboard here and as the title says after the first mosfet (in the picture) there is nothing more than 3.15v.
                      I injected 19v and max. 1 amp at the charging port and there is not voltage drop or smth. It's just taking 19v and 1 milliamp.
                      Then i tried to inject 19v and max 1amp after the current sensor and there it first takes 19v and 4 milliamps and after 2 seconds it is taking nothing (no current).
                      I measured on the coils on board everything seems fine. Also the main power rail is not shorted (infinite resistance).
                      Now i thought something...

                      ASUS ROG Zephyrus GPU Mosfet repeat failure
                      by MicroSMD Lab
                      The board number is GU502DU. I repaired this a couple weeks ago and it came back with the same issue, same mosfet failed (PQH9201). I'm hoping that the GPU was spared this time.
                      I used the same replacement part (purchased from Mouser) and I'm certain the soldering was done properly since it took just as much effort to remove as before. What could cause this same mosfet to fail? I'm thinking if it was unsuitable then the others would fail too. I looked for similar failures on YTube and the mosfet was replaced with AOE6930 in one instance and AOE6932 in the other but it's possible that the...

                      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
