    TV backlight zener diode
    by unimatrix93
    Hello everyone, I'm repairing an LG TV backlight and I noticed some strange behavior when I touching the backlight strip with a missing Zener diode.

    So I replaced the leds on the strips and they seemingly working fine, but soon as I touch the strip which has a missing Zener diode the whole backlight turns off for a few seconds and then turns back on.

    Is this caused by the missing diode? If so what kind of zener diode should I use to replace it?.
    ​​​​
    The led strips has 9 6V leds.

    NTE Electronics “NTE5251K” Zener Diode 9.1V @ 50W Do-5.5% Want to build a 9.1 output from a 9.6 lipo4 battery pack
    by sam_sam_sam
    I have bought this Zener Diode for this project what size and wattage resistor value do I need to use to get near 50 watt output
    I bought this from an eBay seller but unfortunately they only had one

    I bought three from Vetco Electronics these are Sylvania ECG5185A 9.1@10w A to Stud what size and watt resistor do I need to use to get near 10 watt output
    I bought three of from them to also make battery packs with this output power limit in mind

    I want to use this battery pack and turn it into a 9.1 output battery pack output to eliminate using 9 volt battery...

    Corsair RM1000e - Help identify 5VSB Zener diode
    by hobostove
    Hey there guys. I've got a Corsair power supply that's come across my bench dead. I usually don't mess with power supplies, but it's a slow week so I'm giving it a whirl.

    Taking it apart I heard a screw rattling around inside, and when I got it apart I found a couple blown components near what I think is the 5VSB area.

    There's a 22ohm resistor that's melted and open, but it still has the bands.

    The other part is a zener diode and it's top went to jesus, so I can't read the marking.

    It looks like the diode connects the source and drain of a TNY284...

    Yamaha delay D1500, zener diode broken with no marking
    by debidoobs
    Hello,

    im actually trying to save a d1500 delay from yamaha. I found the service manual but schematic is missing and BOM list is a bit unclear as components listed have no reference linked to the pcbs... In my case, one zener diode was broken (114 code on the pcb in attached file) and couldn't be repaired : it was a zener type package. In the BOM list i found 3 reference on this board : 1S555 (can be replaced by 1N4148), RD4.7EB2 (approx 5v rectifier), RD7.5EB3 (approx 7v rectifier)...

    Actually the cathode goes to VCC of sram M5M5118P, without this diode missing, i have...

    What Zener Diodes on a Linear Power Supply
    by caspian
    Dear members,

    I have a linear variable power supply with unknown brand name that I used for voltage injection.
    Then it failed. I discovered that its transistors (Q1 and Q2) are shorted.
    In addition, I discovered that its zener diodes are defective.
    I can replace the burned transistors.
    But I do not know the model of the zener diodes. the model number is not marked on the zener diodes.
    Therefore, I cannot replace the zener diodes.
    I do not want to test the zener diodes in a test circuit to discover their model or value.
    no schematics are available...
