    But an esr meter is an excellent investment. You can find on ebay at very low price.
    I search ESR meter tester:

    Any suggestions?



    Thanks

        Re: Bad PSU shutting down my PC

        i have a same issue.
        My pc is shutting down suddenly.it's the PSU issue. That's obvious.i 've tested.

        There is no blown caps in it.

        but i desolder biggest couple of caps.

        They must be 820 mF.
        one is 720mF other 650 mF.

        are they reason of shutting?

            After 4 days away home, I turned on my PC yesterday and after several hours running it didn't turn off. I didn't use a hair dryer on PSU, I only turned it on and no problems until now.
            Maybe after 4 days of resting my PSU fixed itself
            Should I still look for bad caps on it?

            Edit: It did shut down a few minutes after I post here.

                Yeah I would still look for bad caps. It sounds like that's what the issue is. Teapo has a high likelihood of failing without showing symptoms.

                    If the PC is reseting during load, and heating the PSU temporarily fixes the issue, then capacitors are the most probable culprit. Just replace the capacitors on the secondary side with equvalent long life ones with at least 105°C rating. Manufacturer put a bunch of wires over them blocking the airflow and overheating them, causing them to prematurely fail.

                            Not necessarily during load, it happens usually a few minutes after boot. I will test the capacitors on the secondary side soon. Unfortunately I don't have a capacimeter, but I will try to borrow one.

                            Looking the pictures I would say it is the same PSU.

                                Hello everyone!
                                I dropped a hair dryer in the water after using it. I pulled it out fast but it was still hot, plugged in the mains and switched off. Still in warranty but the shop I bought it is in another country. The local repair shops asked 50-60 eur for repair. The dryer cost 60 so I was thinking maybe there is smthng I could do to fix it my self. I took it apart but I reached the point that I cant understand what the problem might be. I dont have electronics knowledge. Just some basic electrical.

                                There are 3 leds that are blinking when is plugged in but it does...

                                Yoga 530-14ARR NM-B781 Ryzen 3 2200 – overheating and shutting down under load
                                by Maniackk
                                Hi,

                                I’ve got a stubborn patient here. The laptop powers on and works, all components like the screen, keyboard, touchpad, etc. are functional. The issue is that it heats up very quickly under load (within a few minutes up to 95°C) and then shuts down shortly after. Subsequent attempts to turn it back on right after a “hot shutdown” result in it shutting off within a few seconds. Interestingly, if I enter the BIOS, it can stay there for 2 days without shutting down (most likely due to low CPU load and low temperatures).

                                The cooling system has been cleaned, thermal...

                                Bosch Nexxt 500 dryer blinking start button - no start fix
                                by CapLeaker
                                My Bosch NEXXT 500 dryer quit today, press start nothing happens and the start button just keeps blinking. Not cool. Reset the dryer, same thing.
                                Even so the buttons feel good, my problem was the start button smd tactile switch on the PCB. Cleaned the switch with alcohol followed with Deoxit and the sucker runs like a champ again.
                                I like these easy evening fixes!

                                by notallbad
                                Just wondering if anyone has successfully attempted a re-gas on a heat pump tumble dryer.

                                The dryer currently in question runs on R134a.
                                The dryer has been completely stripped down/cleaned/tested and re-assembled however there is no heating/cooling effect so working on the assumption it requires re-gassing. Of course, its likely theres a leak which would require soldering or even the possibility that the compressor has an internal fault even though it is running.

                                I was thinking of getting a car aircon regas kit or probably easier but slightly dearer an hvac...

                                Blomberg DV17600W laundry dryer MCU firmware needed. Please help!
                                by Sam Scarbo
                                Hello,
                                I'm helping my brother to fix his Blomberg laundry dryer. He called a repair guy to have a look and the repair guy said the control board is faulty. They said the replacement board costs $400. Too expensive! 😨 My brother asks me to take a look. He has checked the door switch and thermal fuse, etc., and those seems fine.
                                After plugged to mains, there is no display. There is just a clicking sound from the buzzer, like one click per second. No other response.
                                I suspect the firmware inside the MCU (ATMEGA64A) got corrupted. Can someone in this forum by any chance provide...
