    Samsung RV420 wont turn on

    Good day to all. I need some help finding fault on this laptop. The unit wont turn on. When I attach charger, light indicator on both charger and laptop blinks.

    I suspect a short. I removed the nec tokin capacitor because I suspect the short came from there. After changing to 4 tantalum caps, laptop turns on for a couple of seconds and becomes short again. I've checked and removed tantalum caps and found 3 of the tantalum capacitors became short.

    After removing tantalums caps, I checked pads and found no unusual reading on meter diode mode. I press power button laptop turns on but ISL95831 is getting hot, this is without tantalum caps.

    I removed 2 coils (L2 and L3 not sure) laptop turns on and ISL95831 is not heating up.

    Up to this point I'm at dead end. Its hard to trace because motherboard has no label on it. Its possible to do this by a having a boardview which I could not find on the net.

    As of now I will try to remove 4 fets at a time (Q513, Q512, Q515 and Q514) This is just my guess. Hope to hear from you guys, Thanks.

    You seems to be thinking on the right track. Check all VRM mosfets and if all ok then peerhaps try changing ISL95831. Good Luck,

      what i've been trying to do now it to remove components at a time. It seems I cannot find short using diode mode test. meter seems to be fine.

        Most likely, the high side MOSFET is leaky, possibly the culprit is the one that destroyed your tantalum caps. Also check the CPU, it might be affected, too.

          I found aon6414a nChannel fet shorted. The only problem now is I dont have same model for replacement. All I have here are some NTMFS4935N, NTMFS4936N, NTMFS4935N and this TPCA8055-H. I dont exactly know if these are compatible. Hope you can give your thoughts. Thanks.

            Replacing Q514 solved my issue. Short is gone and laptop is now turning on. By the way Instead of AON6414A, I used AON6428. I'm not 100% sure if its compatible although its stable as of now. Thanks everyone.

              Samsung UE46ES8000 Blown fuse but no other signs of short
              by jesterace
              Hi I wonder if anyone might be able to steer me in the right direction. I have this Samsung UE46ES8000 TV and it went bang during use. The main fuse on the PSU board is open. I've checked every diode/mosfet/transistor I can see and nothing appears to be short to cause the fuse to go. The DC output of the bridge rectifier is not short either. I've seen online that some of these models are known for having their PFC mosfet or other mosfets shorting and blowing the fuse but i'm not seeing that here. If anyone aware of these models having any issues to cause this? I'm reluctant to just replace the...
