      4.94 Volt is OK . What about the Transistor C945 and Diodes ? Are they OK ??

        Yes all are ok... I wanted to be 100% sure so i used all IC's and almost all diodes from secondary side, LM339N and 7500B from the good one psu and vise versa. The good one psu working ok and the faulty still no go just +5vsb. , Also checked all caps with ESR tester.

          I don't want to interrupt the flow you guys have going.

          I think the KA7500 is off (7500-pin 4) due to the LM339's shutdown latch (LM339-pin2/4/5) tripping. If you jumper KA7500 pin 4, it will then force the PSU on at full output.
          I am looking at what makes the LM339 comparator trip (LM339-pin2/4/5). It's complicated, one comparator is doing a bunch of functions. Taking 339-pin5 high trips the latch. Then you have to remove power to reset it.

          That takes me back to KA7500 pin 16. Why is the voltage wrong there?

          I would compare readings around D14, C23, D37, R12.

            Re: Need help for repairing PSU with only +5vsb output

            Wow, You have a nice strange problem !!! But One thing is strange to me - LM339 IC's PIN 2 is connected with +5VSB . If it is connected with +5VSB, then Can that marked place be 0 Volt after switching ? [Shown in Image-05] However PSU ran in this design before . Is the other Good PSU same design ??

            Now it seems to me that One of the component is failing at Load time OR there could be a bad soldering joint . I will suggest you to give a try by replacing those component with New One . [Shown in Image-06]

            After changing the components if it does not run, then put the PCB under 100W bulb and keep heating about 30 to 45 minutes . If it favors the luck, then it could be run again !!!!!

              The second working psu is exactly the same.

                Measure the voltage in those Red circle Point in both Switching and Non-switching Condition in Both Good and Bad PSU and try to find out which component is failing at load time .

                  Are you referring on the attached schematic points? Is it possible to mark proposal checks on the real psu image please?

                  Thank you alot.

                    Hello !!!

                    I made proposal checks on both psu (good and bad) and got same results for NON-switching condition. As for PS_ON state the measurements were as the following :

                    ........BAD PSU.......GOOD PSU
                    -----------------------------
                    P1___3.846 v______3.880 v
                    P2___0.661 v______520 mv
                    P3___36,6 mv______34,9 mv
                    P4___3.910 v______82,5 mv
                    P5___4.952 v______4.928 v
                    P6___0 v__________0 v
                    P7___0 v__________0 v
                    P8___3.363 v______8.5 mv

                    Sorting for 2-3 seconds D1 and D2 or C945 Emitter with D1 pins the psu switch on and works until unplug the cord (press switch off-on button).

                    I have changed the C945 transistor, near registors and diodes D1-D2-D3-D4 from the working psu and vise versa. Still no go

                      Re: Need help for repairing PSU with only +5vsb output

                      It is very difficult to repair when all the parts are OK and PSU does not run !! Because one parts fails at load time and it is the hardest thing to find that culprit component .

                      However - C945 Transistor's which you are indicating as Emitter (E), that must be Base (B) . If it is not Base(B), then PSU will not run . Emitter(E) is directly connected with Ground .

                      Finally - I will tell you to replace 3 Resistors From Good PSU [Shown in Imge-08] . Replace them and see what happens . If it runs then well, otherwise I have no solution left to help you !!

                      Best of luck Dude .....

                        You are right. It's typo fault. Here is the correct one.

                          I have changed and tested 3+2 near registors.
                          NO LUCK AT ALL

                          In such cases proffesionals what procedure -tools are they using?

                          PS: Thank you very much for your time spending to verify the problem.

                            Hello @ll !!!

                            It's weekend so learning bench time started again. Took me some hours checking every single component on secondary side on bad psu and comparing results with the good psu. Some of them changed from good to bad and vice versa. Still got only +5vsb output to bad one.

                            As friend Escort Eagle mentioned already it is very difficult to repair when one part fails at load time. All this time I have learned a lot of things about smps.

                            While testing and comparing voltages between god and bad psu, I figured out that shorting 3-4 seconds (+) side of two signas diodes the psu power on and works fine. Also on both psu if LM339N pin 4 is shorted with ground, both returns to +5vsb only output.

                            1. Can someone please explain the logic of this status?
                            2. How safe is it if i solder the two diodes points permanently on bad psu?

                            Best regards

                              I 've decided to disconnect the +5vsb from LM339 ic PIN 2 and psu was working but the 2pin filter coil in secondary side was smelling like burned.

                              So I replaced it with another one and tried again. The psu was running ok again but this time nothing started to burn. So I soldered again +5vsb with pin2 of LM339 IC and guess what.

                              THE PSU FIXED AND RUNNING ALL OUTPUTS CORRECTLY as seen on image.

                              I would like to thank everyone in this great forum and specially the friends who helped me with thei suggestions.

                                  So, the 3.3V torroid coil had shorted turns or its core saturated permanently?

                                    I believe the glue got conductive. Also measured the temperature in this coil and was around 70 C. So thought that the coil conductors were insulated and change it. Temperature dropped down immediately around 35 C and psu worked.

                                        Interesting. I've seen the 3.3v toroid coil burn up once before (on a Bestec ATX-300-12Z), but it was quite obvious in my case - the wire was completely black, and the PCB immediately around where it was soldered in was quite darkened as well and the caps around it were cooked. The funny part is, though that the PSU still ran (although I can only imagine how bad the 3.3v rail would have looked on the load tester)
                                        I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

                                        No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

                                          So I replaced it with another one and tried again. The psu was running ok again but this time nothing started to burn. So I soldered again +5vsb with pin2 of LM339 IC and guess what.

                                          THE PSU FIXED AND RUNNING ALL OUTPUTS CORRECTLY as seen on image.

                                          I would like to thank everyone in this great forum and specially the friends who helped me with thei suggestions.
                                          Hi guys,
                                          Got to revive this old thread as this seems to be the one related to my psu problem. My psu also only has 5vsb and all the other components seems to be not shorted or open.

                                          Stefos,
                                          Did your psu running all outputs after just changing LM339 ic? Fyi, on my LM339 pin 2, i got 0v, pin 9,11,13,14=0v (i wonder whether this ic is bad).

                                            by FrancescoV
                                            Good morning everyone,
                                            I'm trying to repair an onkyo ht-r390 that has no sound output, despite the volume being at maximum, the rest seems to work; the video output signal (coming from an hdmi input) is present, but the audio is absent. Similar situation if I send an audio signal from any input I have no output.

                                            The firmware reported is the following:
                                            M:1.00/11107BLP
                                            D:?.??/????????
                                            O:1.00/11107AL

                                            The DSP firmware given the question marks seems corrupt.

                                            On the BCHDM-0678 - 25140678 - QPWBCHDM0678A0 board the chip that usually seems...

                                            Looks like I may need a little help from the PSU experts (or anyone really! ) I have a Corsair CX750M (Model 75-002019) that I picked up for free about 4 years ago. This is the PSU:



                                            So here’s what’s strange about this one: it appears to work normally (normal output voltages) and any PC is stable with it. However, after a while (typically 10-20 minutes, but time can vary depending on the load), there is a sweetish smell of burned magnet wire insulation emanating from the PSU. Upon opening the PSU after this happened (many times), I was able to confirm...

                                            Troubleshooting PFC with SPC1012T not raising output
                                            by CoppellTVRepair
                                            It has been a long while since I posted here to ask anything....hope you can help.

                                            I have this Samsung power supply that uses SPC1012T as driver for the PFC and it's giving me a problem that I can't narrow down though I've troubleshooted and fixed hundreds of boards similar circuits.

                                            I am attaching a schematic from a different Samsung board, but the topography is very very similar if not 100% the same and it uses SPC1012T, which BTW is a pinout match to UCC28063 for which there's plenty of information. I haven't confirmed they are functional equivalents, but I strongly...

                                            Copper corrosion? Yamaha HS8S Audio 1 output only
                                            by mecha1166
                                            OAUD Yamaha HS8S Audio one output only.

                                            I have pulled the output board. Output txsistors are ok (only 2 main output). Everything measures the same on each side. Customer did not bring in speakers so I cannot go too deep. I did notice a greenish tint on the tip of the solder joints that connect to the COPPER output connectors. All 6 have a greenish tint at the tip - each side has 3 pins each. Anyone else have copper speaker output pins that corrode at the place on the PCB where they are soldered? I will try to add a photo. Thanks.
