    Corshair RM750 - doesn't allow for board to turn on

    Hi,

    While back I got this Corshair RM750 PSU from a friend which said it was broken. Plugged it into my bulb protection and turned it on. Was greeted with two 60w bulbs turning on (barely at max with PSU generating the voltages. I thought it was the APFC needing more current so I removed the bulb protection and plugged into my wall socket.
    All the rails were fine, all generating the correct voltages when turned on.
    Now, I have plugged in an known good board (intel i7 0th gen with iGPU, nothing else) and pressed the power button. Nothing happened besides the 5vsb LED onboard going dim for a split second. No sounds, beeps, fan spin and other LEDs. Measured the PS_ON and 5vsb rails when pressing the power button and there weren't any issues I could spot (5vsb is 5.08v all the time, PS_ON dips from 5v to 4.8v and then back to 5v). No obvious signs of burns/damage on the PCB.

    This is my first time seeing such an issue. I have no idea what's the cause for it.

    Any ideas?

    over current protection circuit probably false-tripping.
    look for a big current-shunt and work back from there.

      Okay, I have done reverse engineering on the parts which were exposed and I couldn't find any big resistors which represented current shunts.
      Here are the pictures.

      Any ideas?

        Nobody is gonna belive this, but when I was going outside to take better pics of it, the corner of the PCB (near the primary MOSFETs) had shorted against the case and now I have 10ohms between positive DC and negative DC on the diode bridge rectifier in circuit, 31 ohms between Drain and Source on all of primary MOSFETs. There is also an burning smell inside.

          I guess you have to fix the shorted out components in this PSU now. What you should have done first place was checking the state of the supervisor IC in the secondary of the PSU when connected to a motherboard and didn’t work, vs not connected and forced on.

            Drain and source of the mosfet short could be because you turned the gate on. Do a proper test of the mosfet with your DMM in diode mode and try turning the gate off an on. There are you tube vids on how to do that,

              Quick update:
              The resistance dropped to 5ohms on both the positive and negative outputs of rectifier and on gate and drain of primary MOSFETs. My idea is to remove the rectifier and if that doesn't fix it remove those MOSFETs (that's where the burnt smell is). Hopefully only one went bad and not anything else...

                Order of solder wicks finally came and I found the culprit for the short on primary DC side.
                One of the primary MOSFETs went short. Luckily it was only one so the damage should be minimal, but just for sanity I'll need to replace all 3 60R190E6 MOSFETs.

                Now here's my question, what are the equivalents to 60R190E6​ inifeon MOSFETs? I can't find any online.

                    I believe the IPP60R190E6 (TO-220 case).

                      Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                      by Tynan Dill
                      I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                      Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                      I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                      The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                      With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                      Assuming...

                      Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
                      Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

                      All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
                      • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
                      • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

                      LG OLED77G1PUA - No Video / Audio after a TCON Board change and Software Update
                      by Hakuu
                      Hi There,

                      This TV was auto switching off after few seconds with some vertical lines on the screen, so got a new TCON board and replaced it.

                      After replacing the TCON board it was working fine and i set it up with everything, used for few hours, then had the bright idea to update the software on it. During the update process, TV switched off and now no audio or video. No relay switch sound.

                      More Details

                      TV Model - LG OLED77G1PUA

                      Got the same exact TCON board from TVPartsToday and replaced it. But didnt transfer the EPPROM data (didnt...

                      Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
                      by jb_Bak
                      Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

                      Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
                      Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
                      CN6401
                      Pin 01 NC
                      Pin 02 NC
                      Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
                      Pin 04 "N/C"
                      Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
                      Pin 06 "GND": N/C
                      Pin 07 "AC_OFF"...
