    9v super basic wall wart issue
    by jayjr1105
    This is one of those worthless and time wasting repairs but it's bugging me and I want to figure it out. Simple 9v 1a SMPS wall wart and it's bouncing between 8.2 and 9.4v without load. I've pulled out every single cap and all tested fine. I've replaced the opto and same exact issue. All diodes are testing fine. I'm not sure if the IC can cause this or if the IC had issues you wouldn't get anything at all on output....

    How can I be sure that my EC chip is dead?
    by double_DD
    Hi all,

    As the title suggests, how can I be sure that my EC chip is really dead?

    I've recently gotten into this hobby of laptop repairs, and have successfully brought back to life a couple with some easy fixes, mostly shorted caps.

    Now I'm working on HP Probook 455 G8, that had some "devil" run around on 3V line, burning a bunch of stuff. Luckily I have a dead 455G7 (for spare parts) so I managed to fix it (swapped burned parts) to a point that it will charge (both on barrel jack and usb-c), but it doesn't want to turn on. There is a 3V3 on a keyboard...

    Poly VVX-250 VOIP POE problem not booting fix
    by CapLeaker
    I've got a bunch of Poly VVX-250 VOIP phones that work fine as kind as long as they are plugged into the wall wart. Recently I got around to install a couple of TP-Link 5 port POE switches that are added to the existing plain Jane 24 port unmanaged switch. Great!!! Finally I am able to ditch the wall warts from these phones making more space on the desk, plus I am gaining some badly needed power outlets. So I thought.

    Plugged in the first VVX-250 into the POE switch, booted up no problem. Plugged in the other Poly phones and they start to boot anywhere from 5 to 15 seconds,...

    Chieftec GPS-450-AA with dead 20N60C3
    by zunasthegreat
    Hello everyone hope all doing well!
    I have this PSU (GPS450-AA delta oem) around for like 4-5 years and I had it recapped early 2020 or 2021 with mostly UCC KY and Nichicon PW's. The bulk was and still is fine, the original Ltec's were bloated and empty. The previous issue was some major coil whine noise and at times random shutdowns when going idle. Today it started tripping the mains breaker and I think I have dead APFC mosfets (20N60C3). Right now upon checking I have the Q1 and Q3 FETs dead so far and I guess those are responsible for the PFC circuit. The only thing I care is If there...
