    SMPS 750W 25VAC out not working correctly

    Hi, I have a power supply that now is working but generating a lot of heat (200ºC) in the resistors circled by green (see photos) with a minimal load (60W). Output voltage is correct with that minimal load. What cai I look now?


    Thanks a lot

      check em out where they go? Going from positive output to GND? Then they are loading resistors and also make the secondary not hold any voltage when you unplug it.

        Finally i discovered what the problem was, they are limiting resistors in the main section (120VAC), when the power supply works ok, it closes a relay and it bypass the resistors, the problem was that the relay had the coil open and the line was allways through the resistors.

        Hope it helps someone

          ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING - M.2_2 port not working correctly with SAMSUNG SSD980 1TB NVME SSD
          by DynaxSC
          Hi,

          I have an really very weired issue with ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING.

          Some NVME (PCIe) SSD's are not working correctly in the second M.2 socket. An example of it is the SAMSUNG SSD980 1TB NVME SSD.
          Some other NVME (I have only smaller ones) disk do work without any problem, also SAMSUNG disks, eg an MZVPV128HDGM-0000.

          The behaviour is also really very strange, i.e.:
          • The disk shows always up in BIOS - so it is recognized, so far so good
          • POST-ing with this disk with fresh Windows 24H2 installation (done in the M.2_1 socket) in the M.2_2 socket
          ...

          20v / 2A SMPS for a Battery Charger - Explanation of Blown Resistors Please..
          by reessi
          Hello,

          My friend asked me to replace the wire going from this SMPS 20v adapter to the charger for a 18v Lithium Battery for a drill.

          The cable had frayed and been touching, as a result the 5 Paralleled R200 (0.2 ohm) resistors had blown O/C, they are connecting the main -ve rail to the output wire.

          The output was jumping around 13v and dis-appeared when a load like the charger was connected, they measured 900ohms.


          I experimented by replacing at first a single 0 ohm and then a 2.2ohm in and the output was restored at 21.62v and 21.65v respectively...

          GIGABYTE X299 AORUS ULTRA GAMING - SATA PORTS 4-7 NOT WORKING ???
          by DynaxSC
          Hi,

          I have the above mentioned bord after repair, which was related to a lot of missing smd devices on the back of the board.
          There were almost 20 devices missing, caps, resistors and some diodes/mosfets.
          The board is generally working now, all PCIe ports are working, Windows installs normally.

          However I have a problem with SATA ports 4-7 (the board has 8 SATA ports) - disks are not beeing recognized by the BIOS neither by Windows (which is usually normal in case BIOS does not recognize them).
          The SATA 4-7 driver network is quite simple chipset<->buffers/drivers<->SATA...

          Dell Optiplex 5050 SFF - strange behavior and service_mode jumper not working anymore
          by MMH3
          Hello,

          i have many 5050sff. all of them, and how i experienced over many years for all about 250 DELLs goin through my hands, are fully flashable and can be serviced in any way when the service_mode jumper is set.
          Never ever i experienced problems with that.

          Now i have one 5050sff machine, where this jumper isnt working at all.
          I do not get the normal messge that the jumper is set when booting and a short test with FPT just confirms this. Everything is locked -->> EVEN for reading !?

          The history of the machine is that i used it in my office...

          Macbook Air 2020 (a2179) - touch id not working
          by obelix24
          Hi i have one Macbook Air 2020 where touch ID is not working (it's not scanning fingerprints). Touch ID was working before, there is no error message during scanning fingerprint it's just not scanning on screen you can see only fingerprint but there are no red updates as when it's working. Power button is working fine.

          I've checked boardview and also schematics but i'm not able to find anything related to TouchID ... i have similar issue on a2338 where there was problem with PP3V0_TOUCHID​ and after replacing UT610 it was working but here i'm not able to find anything related to...
