    Help identifying power ic?

    Good Day,

    I was recently presented with a inexpensive DVR that had a short in its power supply. After searching I was able to isolate the issue to the 5v rail, specifically a 6pin IC with the markings DDAAC. It seems to be some form of power ic or a buck converter or sorts.

    I have been searching but cant seem to find a way to identify these ICs, could you point me in the right direction please. Attached to this post is an image showing a similar circuit on the board that is unaffected.

    Thanks in advance.

      Either img tags are not working, or vBulletin is not recognizing the imgur page as an image, https://imgur.com/a/2oQ3LXE .

      I can't see clearly any IC such as berthfield described, but there is an electrolytic cap in the pic that clearly is swollen and vented.

      Power Supplies should be boring: No loud noises, no bright flashes, and no bad smells.

        U4 looks like a sot23-6 LDO, Maybe post the model number, maybe there is a schematic around

          Well, it's because it's a link to a webpage, not an image...
          I fixed the link now...

            I can't see clearly any IC such as berthfield described, but there is an electrolytic cap in the pic that clearly is swollen and vented.
            I changed that cap after taking the picture. The IC turned out to be a LDO as suggested but after searching for a few hours I was unable to find any replacements locally. The only markings on it were DDAAC not sure what that was supposed to signify.

            Edit: Forgot to mention that in the interest of time I removed the offending component and just went with a 7805 mounted to the side for 5v supply. There aren't many SMD suppliers locally and I was not willing to wait.

            Thanks all for your help.

              working on the same board at the moment.
              where U5 is fried no voltage for the mouse is the only issue.
              I am suspecting its the same as U4 at the moment can't tell as the top has been burnt off.

                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...

                Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
                by PantherDave
                Hi all!

                I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

                I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

                Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue
                by GLISIT
                Hi all,

                TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


                I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

                A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

                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...

                PS5 Edm-010 No Power - Help identifying missing capacitor
                by krob80
                Hey everyone. I recently acquired a PS5 that is not turning on (no beep/power). PSU is good and there is no shorting on the 12V rail.
                It came with a Gen3 SSD installed so I feel that things went down hill for the previous owner when it was installed. F7003 was blown but there was nothing shorting to ground. I replaced the fuse but still no power (new fuse is still good for now).
                When connecting it to a bench power supply, it only pulls 10 mA (doesn't spike when first connected).
                I noticed that there are a couple capacitors missing from the Vcore power regulator (pictures attached)....
