    Re: Replacement Laptop Power Supplies: Is This One Good or Bad?

    Buying a sample is the least. Making them make some changes in lower batch than a thousand pieces, that's it. If you think you can just keep trying until you find a decent one, well, let me know in few years Even in relatively good unit they can still screw up some small things, which could be easily changed here. Try with chinese…

      I try to contact manufacturers that'll do commission style work. One of such is RH audio. They make speakers, PA amplifiers, etc. They normally do branding for other companies if they're over a certain limit, however for a fixed price they'll make you whatever you want under the limit, just you won't get as good of pricing unless you buy more.

      So basically, if I get something I like, I don't care if in the time I was examining their product they came out with a cheaper, "better", version. I want what I was sent, and nothing different. And that's how I usually buy things. Sadly, this means I'm quite limited as to who I buy from for obvious reasons.

        Macbook Air M2 A2681 Kernel panics after screen replacement
        by reformatt
        Just had a customer bring in a M2 MBA A2681 that had had a screen replacement in April at another repairer. Since then, she has been getting intermittent kernel panics. It's an aftermarket screen, and of course it fails in diagnostics as the calibration hasn't been done. The error in the panic log is "No device added after powering on the rails".

        It seems the original repairer has swapped the board and the screen to other MAC's, and said that it isn't a screen issue. From what I understand, by doing a quick search on Google, this is in fact a screen issue. The panic relates...

        Unknown transformer : how to find a good replacement part ?
        by the_rem
        Hello guys,

        I would like a quite old but still good 800 W ATX PSU to be repaired. The problem was an extremely heavy coil whine coming from the small secondary transfomer on the PCB.

        I desoldered it hoping the references on the upper side would allow me to find a adequate replacement part. Sadly the written references drove me nowhere but to the manufacturer (I-MAG). I sent them a message like a bottle in the see asking them to send me a datasheet of the transformer. And... They responded ! I received a kind of datasheet (see attachment) but my competencies do not allow...

        PS4 controller left stick potentiometer replacement issue
        by ezenia
        Hello,

        Not sure if this is the correct section, but I have a PS4 controller that I am trying to fix. It developed stick drift on the left stick and the usual simpler methods did not fix the problem.

        So I went on eBay and ordered some replacement potentiometers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174967976757 is where I got them from.

        I took the green potentiometers off the replacement sticks and soldered them onto the PCB. Assembled the controller and ran some tests. The drifting was somewhat fixed (not fully in center, but way better than before). However,...

        Cyberpower 1500AVR UPS repair
        by quickname
        I'd like to start out by thanking this forum for providing the info to be able to repair my 15 year old CP1500AVRLCD UPS. Here is all the info I gathered during my trouble-shooting and re-capping.

        Like clockwork, I've had to replace the SLA batteries every 4 years. It was about that time and the UPS was acting like it needed new batteries... randomly shutting off with AC present, not being able to charge fully, and poor runtime when AC was removed. So, I replaced the batteries but noticed that it was not charging properly.

        I decided to verify that the batteries were...
