    Snap On Verus Pro

    OK something out of the box... Diagnostic scanner for cars that runs Windows XP. My tool guy got it on trade for a newer unit... Originally I was going to offer him something, it has a 4 channel lab scope built in.. It doesn't recognize the scope module (plugs into the rear of the unit), can also be run externally via USB cable.. It also has a wireless scan module ( you plug this into the cars OBDII port), it doesn't see that either...

    The software crashed on him so he gave it to me to tinker with.. There is a recovery partition in it and I re imaged the unit.. Boots fine but doesn't see anything plugged into it...

    I have plugged the scope and the scan module into a computer running windows, it does recognize both units.. The scan module must be synced via an USB cable once to become wireless...

    Here is what I know...It has 2 USB ports, one is broken, see pics... Both ports have the 5V feed and ground on the outside terminals... Between pins 2 and 3 I get on port "A" 1.380 volts, port "B" .246 volts... Port "A" from ground to pin 2 .548V Pin 3 .299V Port "B" Pin From ground to pin 2 1.380V and Pin 3 0V..

    Something is definitely up with the USB, any recommendations how to proceed ?

    check if the four pins of the broken USB port are shorted together or to ground.

      Pins looked OK Might try to find the USB part and change that for a start...Looked fine with a 30X loupe

        measure resistance to Ground on each pin.

            I hope this board gets fixed by USB connector replacement. If not so, a number of tests should be done. Since there is no schematics available, fixing it may get really difficult and time consuming. After this replacement, test a USB flash drive on these ports.
            When you connect the scope or the scan module to another computer, does it show an unknown device or it does no reaction to this connection?

              Other computers see the connections, unknown device, no drivers loaded.. They seem to have some function... I plugged a USB mouse in the Verus, no response...

                Any common USB chips to look for ?

                  Re: Snap On Verus Pro

                  Is this a USB chip... Traced several pins from the USB to here... Too many to be coincidence...

                    This IC seems to be an RS232 controller. what is the model of the IC? the datasheet says what it is for.
                    Check where pin 2 and 3 of the USB connector are connected to.

                        U6 does not seem to be a USB controller. Now check U7 and find its model. It can not be read from the photos.

                            it is also possible that the big green chip controls the USB itself.

                              Acer TravelMate P214 - N19Q7 main power rail shorted to ground
                              by mkdj
                              Dear all,

                              I have taken out the motherboard of a Acer TravelMate P214. There is a short to ground on the main power rail (19V). I don't have the schematics or boardview for this board (DAZ8IMB1AA0 REVA). But I have found 4 MOSFETS close to the main power rail : 2 N-Channel and 2 P-Channel.

                              I have checked resistance across each of the 4 MOSFETS. I have the following readings:
                              Both N-Channel Mosfets: nothing odd

                              P-Channel MOSFET number 1:
                              source - drain : 117 kOhm
                              source - gate: 96 Ohm
                              gate - drain: 117 kOhm


                              P-Channel MOSFET...

                              Need advice testing a samsung power supply board with scope
                              by repair-it
                              I am attempting to test a samsung power supply board to verify the pfc ic is working. I am powering up the board with my isolation transformer. The board turns on fine but when I attempt to connect the ground for the scope probe, it trips out the isolator. I was taught not to 'float my scope' so I am wondering if I should test without connecting the ground lead or would that be asking for trouble? Not sure how else to test, I don't have a portable scope. I could plug direct to mains power but that would bypass the safety factor.

                              Hi, Would appreciate some help.
                              I have an Apple Late 2013 15" A1398 MacBook Pro with Logic Board 820-3662.
                              Get charger light but no fan spin or chime. No liquid damage.
                              Found PPBUS and VCORE both shorted to ground. Other rails were ok.
                              Removed VCORE MOSFETS U7310, U7320 and U7330. Found U7330 was in fact shorted.
                              With the 3 MOSFETS removed, get PPBUS and fan spin. VCORE is still hard shorted to ground (0 ohms).
                              Attempted voltage insertion on VCORE to locate short using bench supply set at 1.0 VDC and 4.95 Amps (max current for my...

                              Hi,

                              Try to repair a Thinkpad P72 EP720 NM-B723 MB with I7-8850H processor and N18E-Q1-KB-A1 (P3200) GPU with 6GB memory. Unfortunately there is noinfo what happened to the laptop. I got it disassembled with parts missing, like keyboard, battery.

                              Unfortunately I have no schematic available for me (requested in the sub porum) but got the boardview file.

                              Symptom: after connecting to the charger the power led light up for one-two second and switch off. After a couple secons the power led light up for half a second and switch off. No battery, no IO board, no...
