    Confused about RT8231BGQW pinout

    Hey, I'm looking at a datasheet for RT8231BGQW ( )

    and I'm confused about where pin 1 is. The left side pic describes it as a "top view", which I take to mean a view from the top, like a birds eye view, which would make it positioned the same as the right side pics. BUT the left side pic has pin 1 at the top left, and the right set of pics has a dot in the bottom left corner.

    I have the chip and I can read the text and see the dot. Is pin 1 on the bottom where I marked the red question mark? Thank you!

          Thank you!
          On the detached chip I have, I have continuity between pins 16 (phase) and 17 (ugate). Anyone understand it enough to know if that's incorrect? Those two pins connect to a mosfet that burned up, and I'm wondering if this chip was the cause.

                  The highside mosft was the one that burned. After removing it, gate and source traces were still shorted, which led me to this chip. This chip had corrosion showing around those pins. I removed it and cleaned it, and wondering if it might still work. I ordered a replacement but it's coming from china. This chip beeps when I have the multimeter set to a continuity test between pins 16 and 17. Does that mean anything? or could it be right or wrong?

                      if that short is gome withremoving that chip, than it must be fault in it

                              When it's turned off, the MOSFET driver will pull the gate of the high-side MOSFET (connected to UGATE) to its source (connected to PHASE). It can create a low resistance path between these 2 pins.
                              In any case, if one MOSFET was dead and there was corrosion, you should of course replace the buck controller.

                                  I figured, but I was tempted to be impatient. Thank you!!

                                      Hello,

                                      I know some might say... just buy another one. Sell it as parts..!

                                      So had this AMP for quite some time. Recently I saw light smoke coming out of the AMP. Had my fire extinguisher close by. Just kidding. Turned immediately all devices off from mains.
                                      Let things cool a bit, and opened up the amp device. I clearly saw on the main board which hosts the 5X amp (5.1), 3 10 ohms 1W resistors had their leads looking black, while the rest of the remaining 2 x 10 ohms were brownish as being installed from factory.

                                      Spent some time downloading the Service...

                                      by pickledegg
                                      Hello. I have an Inspiron 7501 here, it's the same as a Vostro 7500 in some markets (no clue). I was looking to replace the LCD, the panels included with these models are terrible.

                                      I have the schematic and it is a 4 lane eDP port on the board but the pinout seems quite weird, my question is if anyone recognises this weird pinout and knows of any other Dell models that may use it or even any compatible panel models. I have the 40-40pin cable that was used for the models with touch but do not need touch capability, was just looking for a better quality screen and higher refresh to actually...

                                      Vizio M60-C3 Left Edge problem
                                      by Pinky Deepak
                                      I have a M60-C3 where the left edge has started showing issues as seen in the picture attached. Along with this, I also noticed some darkening on the left half of the screen which went away after I left the TV unplugged. i initially thought it was the led backlight that was wearing out but looks like something to do w the TCONN board. I searched this forum but couldn't find anyone else seeing this issue. most of them were LH/RH completely gone. any insights or guidance is appreciated.

                                      Here's a video of both the issues: https://youtu.be/hMqc760nB3o

                                      Hi,

                                      Trying to work out if this is TFT problem or TCon issue.
                                      The TV powers up but the top half of the screen, from the right it is OK, but as you look across to the left halfway across it starts get duller and duller until it is very dark on the lefthand side, currently I trying to clean the remote as it seems to have something film wise on the pads stopping it from registering buttons pressed.

                                      Also when changing the screen size of Windows PC display to say to a smaller pixel sizewindow, the original window displayin the top left stays/takes a few seconds to disappear?...

                                      HH Scott Model A510 Stereo Integrated Amplifier/ Graphic EQ - Blowing fuses in the LEFT speaker channel only. Any Help???
                                      by Sik_6ty_Sixx
                                      So like the title says, I have an old Stereo Receiver/Amplifier that I picked up from the goodwill, it's a HH Scott Model A510. When I first got it home it had zero output. Opened it up, notice the fuses are missing. Pop in 2 new fuses (AGC4A 250V) and try again, within 5 seconds the L channel fuse POP! I don't see any visible indications of damage or arc burns on the PCB, no popped resistors or diodes, no burnt traces or blown out caps. So I decide to just try another new fuse, POP. Swapped around my R and L speaker wires, and checked the integrity of all wires and connections. Everything looks...
