    Premier LC-8460BTX - no power

    Got this Premier LC-8460BTX to fiddle with.

    First of all - how the PSU is inside:

    Code:
    - L-shaped heatsinks (someone told me they're better at dissipation,is that true? :confused: )
    -4 diode treatment - not much of a problem for me
    -X caps and common mode choke - copper wire unlike my older version of it (LC-C400ATX ~ 2006)
    -EI-33 transformer - again,not a problem for me (most of my PSUs use EI-33 transformers anyways)
    -only a diode on a bracket next to secondary heatsink - anybody know what is it for?
    -5VSB - 30A - can't read what mosfet says due to big torroid in it's way. Funnily how sticker says 15A for 5v
    -12V - 20A - S20C60C - 60V VRRM
    -3.3V - 16A
    -PI coils for all rails (single rail btw,sticker claims dual rail)
    -bulged YC caps - replaced with KZE & Ruby ZL 1200uf 16v on 5v,Ruby ZL (same value as before)& Suncon (Sanyo) 3300uf 10v on 12v,same for 3.3v,1x Canicon (not bulged) 1000uf 16v & OST 3300uf 6.3v - didn't have japanese caps left for last 2 places
    -470uf 200v YC primaries - no problems since they rarely bulge
    -2005Z PWM chip
    Now for the problem:

    Plugged in first,high pitch noise from secondary and no fan activity. Replaced a resistor that was dead,noise disappeared,but still no fan activity,and it was wired correctly. Used DMM,and 5vsb came up at 5.11v,but other voltages were 0v.

    Any ideas what it might be?

    Suncon (Sanyo) 3300uf 10v on 12v

    Is that a typo?

      No. What I said is that I used a 10v cap for the 12v rail.

        You need to use a capacitor rated for at least 16V on the +12V rail. Otherwise you are essentially overvolting whatever capacitor you use. A 10V cap will have a very short life filtering the +12V output...

          That cap will blow / leak / bulge and possibly kill the psu.

          Canicon cannot be trusted even when not bulging. Don't you have any other not Japanese caps left to use?

            All other caps I have that are not Japanese are even worse than Canicon,with the exception of a few Fuhjjyyu TNR caps from a Linkworld I recapped.

                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...

                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...
