Hi everyone,
Anyone have any idea what this component is in an Acer Swift 3 laptop power supply?
Many thanks!

Re: Unknown component in 19V power supply
Why multiple posts for the same problem?

Re: Unknown component in 19V power supply
No it's ok, you can't delete threads
Why do you suspect this ic is bad? What voltages etc. have you checked so far? Check that you have voltage ACROSS the main filter cap (165vdc)
See the pdf, the output should drive a mosfet's gate, There will be a resistor from the mosfet source to ground, check that it is not open, it should be around 1Ω or less If it IS open the mosfet is likely shorted, if it is ok then I suspect the problem is elsewhere.Last edited by R_J; 03-11-2023, 01:38 PM.Comment

Re: Unknown component in 19V power supply
You would need to provide pictures of both sides of the circuit board to start troubleshooting.
12v on the vcc pin is good You would need a scope to see what is on the out pin for drive. The out pin should connect to a mosfet gate. This ic can not drive the transformer directly.
The source pin is on the mosfet, the CS pin will connect to it via a resistor.Comment

Re: Unknown component in 19V power supply
Hello RJ,
Tried to take pictures, on one side the one in the picture there was a lots of white hard glue that I had to remove. I discovered under the glue a damaged RS1M diode and since I didn't have a RS1M I replaced it with an FR107 diode. You're right, the out pin connects to a mosfet gate, as you will see in the photo (i removed the mosfet and C6, which I will replace), but I have 0V at the output of the mosfet. Here is a photo with some explanations. Tks!Attached FilesComment

Re: Unknown component in 19V power supply
Also, not much purpose on taking a photo of the other side, it is filled with glue and you see absolutely nothing. I would have to remove all that glue and it is a mess. Here is a photo anyways.

Re: Unknown component in 19V power supply
There seems to be a bad solder connection on a component, can you check what it is and where it connects?
What do you mean RS1M diode was damaged, physically broken, shorted, open? Looks like it could be D2 on the datasheet schematicAttached FilesLast edited by R_J; 03-12-2023, 12:17 PM.Comment

Re: Unknown component in 19V power supply
The transformer primary is connected between the + of the bridge rectifier and the mosfet drain, there should also be a feedback winding that supplies run vcc voltage for the ic. One end of the feedback winding connects to hot ground the other feeds a diode and then pin5 of the icComment

Re: Unknown component in 19V power supply
Ok, so what do you think I should be checking next?
Tks.Comment

Re: Unknown component in 19V power supply
Did you check the feedback circuit? You did check to make sure there was no shorted output on the secondary side, like shorted cable, shorted output diode etc.Last edited by R_J; 03-12-2023, 03:05 PM.Comment

Re: Unknown component in 19V power supply
Still learning R_J, what does the feedback circuit look like? I'll check for shorts on the secondary side of the transformer and report back.Comment

Re: Unknown component in 19V power supply
The feedback is a winding off the transformer, (T1B) which connects to R4, and D1 diode to supply the run vcc for the ic. Your component designations will be different but the circuit should be the same.Comment

Re: Unknown component in 19V power supply
Ok, so I checked every component on the back of the board and didn't find anything suspicous, except for a T4 diode that was in parallel with a 100 ohm resistor, so I removed it and it tested good.
Took out the little transformer and the output seems shorted as can be seen in the photos with my blue ring tester compared to a good coil. Also took a closup of the inside for your info.
I guess this means I will have to retire this power supply and keep it for parts with the exception of the transformer, right?Attached FilesComment

Re: Unknown component in 19V power supply
You are not diagnosing correctly, you need to check not the output winding, but the power winding, where the output is from the mosfet.Comment

Re: Unknown component in 19V power supply
I doubt the transformer is bad, Check the resistance of the windings, if they are not open I suspect the transformer is ok. Did you check the primary and feedback windings with your ringer?Comment

Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?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.

I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump
One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy... -
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... -
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... -
Hello Everybody,
Trying to repair a power supply from a Russound CA4 Multizone Controller (picture attached)
Russound no longer supports it but were kind enough to provide a schematic of the power supply (pdf attached).
The outputs marked 12v and 20v are all measuring only 1v.
The board is clicking, which I think means it is in something called hiccup mode when the flyback transformers switches because of an internal problem or something else on the board Overloading it.
The capacitors physically look clean (no bludgesor leaks) and...
