      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...

      Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
      by sam_sam_sam
      I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

      One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

      Dell Latitude 5501 LA-H181P shorted power rail
      by guizmo1967
      Hello,

      This is my problem:

      Laptop: Dell Latitude 5501
      Motherboard: EDC51 LA-H181P

      I have two power rails shorted to ground, +1.0V_PRIM and +3.3V_ALW_PCH. I removed solder on PJP302, +1.05VALWP (pad1) not shorted but +1.0V_PRIM (pad2) shorted.

      I also cleaned PJP38, pad1 not shorted, pad2 (+3.3V_ALW_PCH) shorted to ground.

      I measure the resistance of all the coils on the motherboard and they all were not shorted to ground except coil PL301 before I removed the solder on PJP302.

      I injected +1.05V - 2A...

      Dell H235P-00 Power Supply Failure
      by Info13
      Hi everyone,
      A H235P-00 power supply unit from a Dell Optiplex 760 PC is faulty.
      After removing it from the computer, I placed a paper clip between the green and black wires, then connected it unloaded to the mains through a series lamp.

      ➡️ First test:
      The PSU partially works: the green indicator LED lights up, and the fan starts for one second, then stops.
      A click can be heard at the moment it stops. The series lamp lights up when the power supply starts, then turns off when it shuts down.

      I then followed the advice from the forum and replaced...

      Acer Alienware Nitro 5 (GH51G LA-L181P Rev: 1C) & Dell Alienware M15 (GDP50 LA-k452P Rev:1) - Both Shorted PCH (SRKMA)!
      by reessi
      Hello:

      I have both these laptops that appeared to have the same fault so I thought I would have a go at replacing the PCH as something to learn, they both are using the same PCH.


      I started on the ACER:

      Up on connecting power no signs of life but current is consumed from the bench power supply and the PCH is hot.
      All the caps on the top of the PCH are showing 0 ohms and the 3.3v rail is shorted.

      I followed the videos from Sorin, Electronics Repair School on Youtube heating from the bottom to install. I practised on around 10 scrap...
