I am trying to fix an iMac 2017 PSU, initially came with a blown fuse and shorted PFC MOSFET (6R199P). After visual inspection and some measurements I replaced the FET with a P20NM60 and tested with 100w series lamp, and it lasted 1 second before going into dead short. The PFC controller chip (NCP1605BG) and its passives appear fine (passives measure OK), but I do not know if there is a simple way of testing the NCP1605 as I wouldn't like to blind-replace it.
There was some slight blackening of the solder on the PFC controller passives so I reflowed them all with some flux. I am waiting on new MOSFETs to try again.
I have also measured the two drive transistors for the PFC MOSFET as I read these could be the culprit (PMBT4401 and 4403 pair) and they are okay.
Any pointers as to what I should take a look at, before burning more new MOSFETs? Thanks
