    Dell XPS One 2720 AIO Liteon PS-3261-9DA not starting up immediately

    I suspect the issue is with the power supply Liteon PS-3261-9DA as apparently they are notorious for issues with them. Has anyone else had similar issues where the PC tries to boot up a few times before finally booting up. Now I have opened up the PSU which shows no signs of any capacitors failing. I did remove one capacitor that looked to have an issue however with my peak meter it showed it was within the limits with good very low esr values which was somewhat disappointing!
    I am going to put a Meter leads across the outputs to see how stable they are when it occurs to see what they are like.
    Anyone had any thoughts with where the problems lie with this PSU as I am sure I am not the first to try to repair the issue with one of these PSU units.
    Thanks in advance for ant help.

    Good news I have managed to track down a high ESR Samxon 10uF 50V capacitor that was causing the issues
    Picture attached for location of the high ESR capacitor around 2.2ohms, replaced with a Panasonc FR capacitor. I guess it was cooked with the heat inside this small unit especially as there was dust build up by the fan furthering the build up of heat inside the unit. I did also notice another 2.2uF 50V capacitor that did also have a slightly high ESR (circled in red), however I didn't have a suitable Panasonic capacitor to replace it with. The yellow circled capacitors were the ones checked before I identified the culprit with my trusty Peak ESR70 meter.
    Happy Days

      Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
      by Bowline
      My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

      Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

      My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
      The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
      I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

      Looking for Dell Latitude 5520 / 5530 / 5540 RJ45 network connector replacement
      by diamon
      I have a Dell Latitude 5530 with a damaged RJ45 network connector. See the attached pictures.

      Have already searched on Farnell / Aliexpress / Ebay and had contact with several suppliers on Aliexpress and Ebay, but they cannot deliver this connector.
      Is there someone inside the EU, who has these connector(s) or perhaps defective motherboard(s) for these laptop models I have mentioned in the topic title.

      Dell Inspiron 5590 Board 18778-1 no charging, charging not possible
      by master3112
      I would like to share my experience about charging issues with Dell power supplies with the tech community. I am working on a Dell Inspiron 5590, Mainboard 18778-1 with charging problems. The device can be switched on and works so far, only the message appears at startup:

      Alert! The AC power adapter wattage and Type cannot be determined. The battery may not change. The System will adjust the performace to match the power available.

      The power supply unit is not recognized in the Bios and the charging process is set to "idle". I use original Dell battery, type...

      Dell 5410 greyed out BT
      by OntarioTL
      Well I've learned something new today. Of all the Dell laptops I've come across I have never seen bluetooth greyed out, and only to learn this is during the build from Dell factory. I've tried to pull the original BIOS and fix with another dell with the same issue on the forums, however the original was not recovered from the forum upgrade so I cannot do a comparison to attempt the fix on my own.

      If someone could help me out with this unit and I'll try the next one as so far I have 2 on my desk with this issue. Thanks in advance!
