    Troubleshooting half-bridge smps

    Hello everyone, I'm trying to fix what seems to be a half-bridge smps.
    The switching controller is sg2525a, which I have replaced with a brand new sg3525a. The low and high mosfets are 1c27ac 6n50. The mosfet driver is IRS2301S.
    Both mosfets were tested outside circuit with a component tester and seem to be fine.
    With oscilloscope I see ~65khz switching signal on both low and high outputs of the controller, but on the output of the mosfet driver there is switchig signal only on the low output (flat line on the high output).
    So I guess the mosfet driver is faulty?
    IRS2301S is kinda hard to find, so I'm wondering if I can replace it with IRS2106S or IRS2186S?

    And to close the thread - after replacing the controller with SG3525 and the driver with IRS2186/IR2186 the two mosfets 1c27ac 6n50 died. They took with them both the controller and the mosfet driver. So I soldered back the original sg2525 controller, got this time a IRS2101S/IR2101S and a couple of STD5NK50ZT4 and now the unit works fine.
    For indexing purposes - the unit is a d-class audio amplifier Anaview ALC0100-2300 (ALC0100-2X00).

      How do you test MOSFET in laptops ?
      by Jane
      I tried to use this method:

      Testing an N-channel MOSFET:

      Step 1: Discharge the Gate (turn off the MOSFET)
      Place the black probe (COM) on the Source (S) and the red probe on the Drain (D). The multimeter should show no continuity (high resistance or "OL" – open line).
      Then, touch the black probe to the Source (S) and the red probe to the Gate (G). This discharges any stored charge in the Gate, turning the MOSFET off.

      Step 2: Charge the Gate (turn on the MOSFET)
      Now, place the red probe on the Gate (G) and the black probe on the

      Mosfet driver trouble replacing 6005A
      by sigmeyer
      So this is not the first time i find a mosfet driver shorted. I am talking about the mains to DC conversion circuits. In this case its a TV , I found a shorted mosfet , shorted safety capacitor and the power resistor was open. I replaced all of those but later found that two of the pins in mosfet driver were shorted aswell. Now this is a big road block for me , as people are no willing to wait for a month for a specific IC to get shipped from china to repair their TV , Is there another solution to fixing this problem? I have some other mosfet drivers laying around and what are the chances of them...

      LED DRIVER KEEPS DYING
      by osrex
      Hello, this is my first post and im just a beginner, so be easy on me guy. thanks



      i have a LED chandeilier that switches colors from white to cool white to warm when toggling the switch, it has 24 LED arms, each arm is 30 CM length.



      i have no datasheet at all for the LED lights, all i have is its length.



      long story short, testing the chandelier on the ground, and it works fine for 1 - 2 - 6 hours, no problem.



      as soon as i fix the chandelier to the ceiling and bury the driver inside the hub,...

      VGA MOSfet permanently shorted and loss of MOSfet pad
      by Nooy
      Hello everyone, I recently found this badcaps site and super Learn Electronics Repair youtube channel. And I wanted to learn how to troubleshoot power supplies and VGA cards and how to practice soldering, since I already have a properly defective piece of them. I am currently trying to solve two problems:

      I have a Gigabyte GV-RX460WF2OC-4GD type card. I managed to find the faulty MOSfet (AON6414A) on it, which I replaced. The card starts up, but after about half a minute, the MOSfet in the same position will be shorted again. Is it possible that the PWM controller driving the MOSfet...
