      Forgot, what did you change them resistors out for? 0.1 Ohms or 1 Ohms?

        At the end i changed the resistors, i tried deferent brand but stayed at 1 Ohm. And changed c204 from 15nf to 10nf.
        I also tried 0.1 ohm but the mosfet was running loud and the startup of the welder was not smooth so I think 1 ohm is a must.

        I really Really appreciate your BIG help in this project!!!
        You are amazing!

          The credit goes to yourself. You were the one that fixed it, showed interest and commitment to fix this thing and you may have learned a couple of tricks of my cheat sheet too. I just gave some directions and helped you navigate around road blocks.

          Inverter welders and plasma cutters can be sometimes really easily repaired, but also can be a real pain in the butt to figure out the problem why it doesn't work.

            Reverse engineering of DoCreate DHJ567 handheld spot welder
            by spleenharvester
            Hello everyone

            I attach a schematic and teardown photos for the DoCreate DHJ567 handheld spot welder. I bought this welder for temporary use while my supercapacitor welder was waiting for replacement parts. It cost only £24, though there is a screenless version available for £17.

            Performance: The absolute maximum it can handle appears to be 0.15mm of pure nickel. Reliability was not great - welds were very inconsistent, ranging from weak attachment to burning through the strip. However, I was able to build a 5S2P pack without losing any cells. It's a bit difficult getting...

            Sencor SLE 40F82M4 - not turning on - Learning
            by Olles4
            Hello people. I trying to repair my Sencor TV. No standby light, not tuning on what i found there is 6V where 12V should be and 8V where 16V should be. Any suggestion?

            Lincoln Electric LE31MP welder not turning on
            by tibimakai
            This is my own welder, that blew up while welding. There is no warranty on it. Purchased it a year ago, sealed box from Craigslist.
            It worked great until now, about a year.
            What I have found is a blown trace next to the main capacitors, it seems like also got damaged the SMPS IC, output MOSFET and a 1 Ohm resistor to the ground from the MOSFET.
            After replacing these components, the relay, fans turn on and it sounds like it's working, but there is no output voltage for the welder, LEDs do not turn on.
            So there are more components that are damaged.
            I'm having a hard...

            Macintosh Quadra 840AV PSU
            by nicktasios
            I had my Quadra 840AV (which I recapped and had working) plugged in for some time without using it and randomly decided to turn it on today. Unfortunately it did not turn on. After checking the PSU, I found out I was not getting anything from 12V, only from the 5V rail. After a few minutes, I removed the PSU and plugged it back in the electrical outlet and it suddenly started making a weird sound and soon after smoke started coming out. I quickly unplugged it. I opened it up but on first instance I didn't see anything out of the ordinary really. I later turned it back on and one of the MOVs blew...

            Is there any high current pouch battery that are size 60mmX80mm maximum thickness 21mm for a battery operated tab welder
            by sam_sam_sam
            I have a battery operated tab welder and the battery does not have enough current for the battery tab welder because after about 30 welded it does not have the same current output it voltage has gone down by at least 0.500 volts or maybe a more than that

            I can fit 21700 battery cells in the enclosure it is very tight fit for four of them that are 35 amp high current capacity 35X4=140 high current output this should work a lot better than what is installed right now

            I tested the battery cells there are installed right now and they are testing good with no issues that I...
