    Power supply issue with H240AS-00.

    Hello, everyone.
    The power supply had the standard problem, a blowout in the snubber circuit. I recovered everything from it. Q51, IC301 is also rebuilt. The power supply works, but when I hook it up to work on my power supply tester https://www.amazon.com/Computer-PC-T.../dp/B076CLNPPK, the Q51 starts to gradually heat up and after about 30 minutes it's hard to keep your finger on its heatsink. The other radiators are ice cold and so should be no load in out. All voltages are available. Where can a problem be found?
    Regards, Teodor.

    I guess you are new around here, so welcome to badcaps! If you do make a thread like this, you better attach some high resolution, straight shot pictures using the attachment function. Like right now I have no idea wtf Q51 is or does.
    I’d suggest you load the PSU properly up. Your problem may solve by itself, since some ATX power supplies weren’t made for running idle with zero load on it.

      if q51 is the main fet then you probably missed something damaged in the gatedrive circuit and it's not switching fully on or off.

        Hello.
        I am attaching a photo of the main FET.
        Despite the unhealthy appearance of the front capacitor, I measured it and it is healthy (I replaced it, the behavior of the circuit is the same).
        Photo of the small board behind the main FET. It is before I changed the PWM chip. I don't have time to desolder and take pictures right now. I measured all the diodes and resistances in the signal path to the gate of the FET everything seems normal. This is what my pocket oscilloscope shows. The readings of the unit are while the power tester is attached.
        There is a small button for turning on the power supply. When I run it only through it, the device does not pick up pulses, only disturbances.
        Greetings to all

          Samsug washing machine. Power supply DC41-00189a board issue
          by Soulzink
          Hi everyone,

          I am trying to fix a samsung washinmachine power supply main board.
          I already replaced it with another one to fix the machine but i want to try understand the issue with the old board.
          Therefore i hope to be able to get some help to explain what to check in order to troubleshoot.
          The power supply board reference is the following: DC41-00189a
          I have followed one thread (https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...ingmachine-rel...

          Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue
          by GLISIT
          Hi all,

          TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


          I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

          A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

          Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
          by Tynan Dill
          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

          Assuming...

          Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
          by sam_sam_sam
          I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

          I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...

          Definitive technology SC 2000 subwoofer amp's power supply clicking and popping
          by JimBanville
          The sub developed a constant popping every couple seconds from woofer and power LED flickering with nothing but wall AC connected. Connecting an audio cable didn't change anything. It doesn't play but a second or two of audio in between the pops.
          Opened it up and discovered the power supply is making a faint clicking or ticking sound.
          I measured the amp's output to the woofer and it pulses up to 50mv DC to be driver. The pulses coincide with the power supply ticking/clicking.
          I measured the power supply output going to the amp board and it too has this pulsing. Voltage cycles...
