    PB MLT168A for an Akai LCT2701AD LCD TV

    I am new to troubleshooting TV's but had taken electronics courses in college 8 years ago and I am finally using my knowledge on TV's left behind in the garage by my growing children. I have a power supply board model MLT168A which was dead. Found several bad caps so I purchased the MLT168A kit and replaced the bad caps with the new. I finally got power output as following:

    5v = 4.97v (found in CON4)
    9v = 11.67v (found in CON5)
    12v = 11.67v (found in CON5)
    24v = 23.9v (found in CON7)
    24av = 20.8v (found in CON6)

    Voltage readings for 9v and 24av are incorrect.
    removed Zener diodes 4 and 5 which desoldering Zener diode 3 on one end and tested using a multimeter. Also desoldered three rectifiers without removing from board and also tested with the multimeter. All of these show they were good.

    what could be the problem?

    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...

    What zener diode might fix the sound on Maestro Mayhem gaming chair?
    by nev1001
    Hi, I'm looking for a bit of help trying to fix the audio unit from a Maestro Mayhem 4.1 gaming chair please.

    The chair has a few speakers and vibration motors. All was well, for a while, but now the sound is gone.

    It may be significant that I discovered my son was powering it with a 19V laptop charger when it should run on 12V - it did fully work, for bit.

    I think an issue could be a zener diode (or capacitor) which has shorted out.

    The board's bluetooth input still works, the vibration motors are working, so is the line out socket but not the...

    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...

    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.

    Element 32 inches tv (ELEFW328B) Unknown component: Diode or zener?
    by Vincenzo2
    My Element 32 inches tv (ELEFW328B) lost it's backlight (confirmed with a flashlight test) and the connector on the PCB (it has one board that has a processor chip, switch mode power supply, and backlight circuit) that has the two wires that go to the backlight LED strips has a very low voltage (28-29 volts) when turned ON, in my opinion.

    Started testing components and found an SMD diode or zener that is shorted (even zero fusing resistors read a few tens of milliohms, while this thing reads zero).

    I put some pictures here to show that it is labeled "M7"....
