    What is the component - doesnt look like the pad was connected - may just be a blank pin- did you take any pictures before you started.

      It looked just like the other ones, it's part of a transformer

        Zoom out slightly so we can see where the trace is going. Also show the topside so we have an idea.

          What board is this?

            I cant see a trace from where the pad was - that is why I thought it was just a blank pad - unless there is a trace on the otherside or it is a multilevel board.

              If this is a 2 layer board the trace will be on the other side just solder the component from the top and you'll be fine.

              If it's a multilayer board and there is no trace on the top you're out of luck.
              Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either.

                Re: What to do about missing pad on lead?

                I'd be willing to guess that this is OK, and this pin doesn't go anywhere on the other side (if this was a through-plated via hole) ... that is, if this is even more than single sided as most PSUs are 1-layer... Is there a wire connected on the other side of the board on that hole?

                You might lose a bit of durability as even if it wasn't connected to anything, it does hold the part on the board... but you probably could have told that the others do much more than enough to make sure the transformer doesn't fall off

                  It's a PowerMan PSU, here are the pics! Yeah it doesn't look like it goes anywhere but I want to make sure!!! Looking at the second picture it is the 3rd pin from the left

                      Don't worry it's a 'Not connected pad'.

                      Single layer board, with no trace leading to the pad hence it serves no purpose.

                        Re: What to do about missing pad on lead?

                        More than likely there because the winding core had it already or for ease of alignment during manufacture.

                                I replaced the 28 size transformer with a 35, and I just did the paperclip trick and plugged in 4 hard drives to give it some load but it wouldn't power on. Hooked it up to a computer and still wouldn't power up

                                    maybe the transformer is wired differently ?

                                        Hmm...transformer "upgrades" are tricky, most of the time you can't swap transformers from one to another unless you carefully check the pinouts of the transformers... where did the new transformer come from? Was it intended for this particular PSU?

                                          by spleenharvester
                                          I bought one of these as it was the only one I could find that is compact enough to fit in my toolbox (though I've since found KSGER make a substantially safer looking one). It's one of those fan-in-handle things that has the 230V element in the handle. Quecoo briefly sold a similar unit but discontinued it.. maybe they couldn't find solutions to these problems. I'm aware these fan-in-handle things are garbage compared to a good air pump station but I only really use this for occasional QFN work etc.

                                          I did not realise at the time of buying that its design is... interesting, to say...

                                          Hey guys.

                                          Need help with this one.
                                          Fan not spinning due to missing PWN Fan signal.
                                          Also 5 seconds from powering up it freezes, unless in BIOS.
                                          But as soon as Windows starts to load, it will freeze.
                                          CPU is COLD / Room temp when it freezes.

                                          I've replaced the CPU, same problem.
                                          Replaced SIO/KBC IT8987e and reprogrammed - same problem.
                                          Replaced fan - same problem.
                                          Replaced flex cable from board to daughterboard (which has fan connector on it) - same problem.
                                          Checked the Thermal sensors around CPU and Board to the SIO/KBC and...

                                          Hello. I would need some advice please.

                                          My son's MBP suddenly stopped working and is now only getting the green-then-orange light on Magsafe and no fan spin.
                                          He brought the MBP into the house (22 deg C) from a very cold conservatory (-3 deg C) and turned it on straight away. The Mac suddenly died a few minutes later.

                                          I examined the logic board and couldn't find any signs of water damage, corrosion, blown up components etc. Nothing was ever spilt on it, and the logic board looks immaculate.

                                          I have already replaced the logic board with another...

                                          Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
                                          by sam_sam_sam
                                          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...

                                          Hi everyone, I hope you are having a good day.

                                          I have a laptop sony Vaio, DA0HK1MB6E0, MBX-247. REV: E

                                          The laptop suddenly shut down as the owner told me, so I did the normal check there is no short but the laptop it's not powering up and there is no light when I connect the adapter because there is no battery.

                                          so I checked.
