    Delta DPS-300AB-81B power supply IC identification

    Hey guys,

    I’m repairing a Delta DPS-300AB-81B (12 V / -53 V PSU) and I’m trying to identify a small 3-pin SMD IC marked “UY 451” on the primary side, and to confirm if it’s safe to bypass it. The original fault was 0 V on the 12 V rail and about -27 V on the -53 V rail, with about 328 VDC on the bulk cap. The primary controllers are a DAP013D for PWM and a CM6800 PFC controller. Near the DAP013D there is a 35 V electrolytic cap, one leg to primary ground, the other is a VCC node fed from the HV side via DAP013D’s internal startup (through a diode). That same node goes to one pin of the 3-pin IC (UY 451). Another pin of UY451 goes to the VCC rail that feeds both DAP013D and CM6800, and the third pin goes to main filter cap ground through a small diode.

    With UY451 in circuit, both the VCC node and the IC VCC pins sit at about 9.5–10 V, which is below their UVLO threshold so the PSU never really starts. When I remove UY451 completely, the 35 V cap now charges up to around 15–16 V, which matches the expected DAP013D startup VCC. On the bench, if I feed the presumed input pin of UY451 with 15–16 V and reference the third pin to ground, the output pin sits at around 0.03 V, so it doesn’t appear to pass or regulate anything any more and looks effectively dead.

    For testing, I bypassed UY451 so that the controller VCC rail is fed directly from the 15–16 V VCC cap node. With this bypass in place, after a short delay both rails come up properly: 12 V is present and stable, and -53 V is at the correct level so it looks like UY451 is the only faulty part. My questions are, does anyone recognize the SMD marking “UY 451” and know exactly what this IC is (small regulator/pass transistor/supervisor with pass element)? And is it electrically safe as a permanent repair to feed DAP013D and CM6800 VCC directly from that ~15–16 V startup node (possibly through a small series resistor), given their VCC ratings? Or would you recommend sourcing the exact part from a donor or replacing it with a simple discrete/regulator solution instead?

    Thanks in advance!

    So turns out this is just a run of the mill NPN transistor, it was not the culprit here, a 10uf 25v startup capacitor on the DAP013D was bad, this probably was causing intermittent startups, when I used hot air on the board it probably changed some parameters and by chance the power supply was starting up.

      ESR decreases with temperature, so if you heat up a capacitor that's got high ESR, it may drop low enough to start working again. That's what happened here.

        Lowest possible resistance on laptop motherboard rail - Guide Table request
        by Nagy Daniel
        Hi, I'm Daniel, and I'm new to the world of repairing motherboards.

        I would like to create a table, or more likely a guideline about the voltage rails and their possible resistance rail.

        I know that the motherboard design has a very big depend on the rail's resistance, but I would like to know what is the smallest value for a rail that can be acceptable. For example, I heard that some new gaming motherboards can have 0,5 Ohm resistance on the GPU rail, but on an older type, it could be a sign of a shorted GPU rail.

        So, I generated a table with AI so I can...

        Calculating ESR from tan delta -- tan delta's dependence on capacitance
        by Junkrepair
        I'm finally recapping my Soyo K7VX6 motherboard (aka KT600 Dragon Ultra) and replacing Sacon SZ-series caps. The Sacon SZ datasheet provides a spec for tan delta, but not for ESR, while the candidate replacement caps are specified in terms of ESR.

        I found this nice little description of the conversion:

        Calculating capacitor ESR from Tan(delta)
        https://forum.digikey.com/t/calculat...-from-tan/2633

        It mentions that a general spec for tan delta has to be adjusted for the specific capacitance before plugging tan delta into the formula...

        Acer Nitro 5 LA-L181p power LED turns on by 5 secs (Short on PCH rail?)
        by Victor Moreira Silva
        Hello everyone,

        I'm trying to repair my old Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-54-55T5). I've already bought a new laptop, so this is more of a learning project. For the experience, with no high expectations of success.

        Well, my decice specs are the following:

        Model: Acer Nitro 5 AN517-54-55T5
        CPU: Intel Core i5-11400H
        GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
        Motherboard: GH51G LA-L181P Rev:1c

        The symptom:
        When pressing the power button, the power LED lights up for about 5 seconds and then turns off. Initially, the issue was intermittent: sometimes...
