    General computer PSU diagram please?

    Hi guys!
    Thanks for all your great contributions. I enjoying looking through these forums and I have learned a lot. I was wonder if anyone was willing to get a picture or pictures from a your run of the mill computer power supply and label what everything is (to the best you can).

    I've read though the FAQs and it was helpful, but I have trouble visualizing them on the PSU.

    AC Filter (I already know but may be helpful for others)

    Rectifier & Filter

    Inverter

    Pulse Width Modulator

    Output Rectifier & Filter

    Voltage Sense Amplifier and Protection

    Standby Regulator

    PI filter components (ie input caps/ output caps, inductors)

    I tried searching but couldn't find anything. If you know of any links that could help, that would be awesome!

    Thanks again! Any contribution would be much appreciated.

              is there a way to know which Pi filter caps are input or output?

                      Dynacord powermate 1600 block diagram.
                      by hs5424
                      Hi All,
                      I obtained a schematic diagram for the above mixer but I am wondering if a block diagram exists as I am trying to fix a problem in the protection circuit which I find a little confusing using a circuit diagram only. In the good old days the workshop manuals always had a block diagram with a circuit discription. Very useful for fault finding.
                      The protection light is perminently on. The right sode has a -80DC on the feed to the speaker, hence the protection led on. I have removed all the O/P transistors which checked out OK. I tested all other transistors in circuit which seem...

                      Help with boom box modification
                      by Califauna
                      Hi, this is more of a project help request than a troubleshooting question. I hope I can post it here.

                      I have a W-King D8 Bluetooth boom box which I'd like to modify with some external speaker output jacks and some buttons to switch the internal speakers on and off.

                      From factory the specs of the boom box are:

                      -Power Input: DC 5V
                      -Speaker Output Power: 2 x 25W ( confirmed by Youtube channel Hartdegen review as 12.5W RMS per channel)
                      -Drivers:
                      -2 x Woofer, 70mm, 10Ω, 70mm,15W
                      -2 X Tweeter, 8Ω, 30mm,10W x 2
                      -Frequency...

                      Asus ROG Strix G17 , Identifying a part number from the boardview diagram ID
                      by SilverbackITGuy
                      First of all, I hope I got this into the right section. Apologies if I did not.

                      I was working on my Asus ROG Strix G17 (2021) G713QM-RS96, and I guess I pre-heated the board too much replacing the DC Jack and one of the small parts came off. I looked for it on my soldering mat, and it was nowhere to be found. So now, the laptop is powered from the new DC Jack I installed, but it will not charge the battery from that jack. Only powers the hardware.

                      I looked at the boardview diagram in another post for the G713QM, and it looks like the diagram displays it as X450, a 4 contact...

                      Modding HPF filter
                      by madan1
                      Hi everyone.
                      Recently scored a dead amp from a mackie srm1801 subwoofer and after fixing it, now I'm thinking about a home cinema/party subwoofer project.
                      Most likely I will use a 15" JBL woofer, which I already have and a diy box.

                      After reading the mackie user manual, I noticed that it has a 40hz HPF (labeled as "36Hz BUTTERWORTH HPF" in the SM) to protect the speaker from low frequencies. Indeed this seems to be good idea for the intended usage - professional music subwoofer, but bad for movies, where one would expect to "feel" the SUBwoofer....

                      I'm looking for the wiring diagram for led monitor model DHI-LM19-L200
                      by gabri2211
                      hello everyone, I'm looking for the wiring diagram of this led monitor.
                      the model is DHI-LM19-L200, but I think that any other diagram of a DAHUA monitor could be equivalent.
                      I really hope that among you someone can help me to repair this monitor, the screen is black, it doesn't seem like a backlight problem.
                      I see the presence of 12 volts, 5 volts, but without a diagram the repair is very difficult.
                      thanks to those who will answer
