    apc smart-ups voltage problems

    I have a major problem with my rack mountable APC SmartUPS 1400. It's a bit old (at lease 4 years). I'm trying to fix the problem for the last couple of weeks but I had no luck with it. Accorting to apcupsd's apctest the input voltage seems to be over 260VAC even though my V-meter shows 219V so it's on battery power constantly. It even shows the wrong battery voltage (about 50V instead od the correct 24V as it has two dual 12V 7,2Ah sealed accus).

    That could be wrong? Can it be fixed?

    I'm attaching apctest output of a working ups and the non-working one:

    Bad interface card?

    Blown µPC chip? Lost EEPROM code?

    Recent lightning storm with near strikes?

    Check this site for more schems.: http://www.upsclub.org/schem/APC

    File: http://www.upsclub.org/schem/APC/schems.txt Is an index and Points to what is where.

      Dear NoName

      I have the same problem with my SU1400RM2U UPS. Could you fix the problem?

        Lenovo L490 Ram voltage circuit malfunction
        by rddube
        Hello friends,

        Looking for some guidance here. The RAM voltage circuit on this motherboard keeps burning out PU301 which is a RT8231AGQW. Copy of the board with the burnt chip attached with some voltage measurements and copy of the schematics also included.

        I think I've checked almost every component in the circuit, but when I change the RT8231, the laptop starts I have 1.2V on the inductor for about 10 seconds and then the RT8231 goes south and no more voltage on the inductor. All other voltages on the laptop are good, this is the only one conking out for a reason I...

        Gigabyte Z490 Gaming X Motherboard No VCORE Voltage
        by Fernon@Repair
        i have Gigabyte Z490 Gaming X Motherboard .it has a power on no display fault .. no vcore voltage and debug led stuck CPU LED .

        VCCIO voltage ok
        VCCSA Voltage OK
        VCCPLL Voltage OK
        Ram Voltage ok
        RamVTT OK
        VPP 2.5 OK

        But No Core Voltage

        and i want to this vrm ic datasheet or pinout (ISL69269)
        anyone have this ic pinout voltages?...

        Panasonic TH-L42D25A checking the PSU output voltage
        by electron_jj
        Hi Everyone, I am new to this forum. I have a Panasonic LED TV which doesnt turn on and is blinking 4 times repeatedly when I turn on the switch. The TV does not respond to the remote control so I had to turn on using the physical switch on the side of the TV. When I turn on the switch the 4 x blinking starts and repeat itself until I turn off the TV. There is a black screen. I turned off the light in the room to check the panel and I think there is no backlight as far as I can tell.

        I have been inspecting and testing the capacitors and diodes in the power supply board to try to...

        Trip light 2400 watt line conditioner bought used issue with low voltage oscillation going on between relays
        by sam_sam_sam
        I found two capacitors on the board and one of the leads on one capacitor had bad soldering joint and the other joint connections not much better and there were several soldering joints that way to much flux around the joint redid several of them

        The capacitors were a non brand that I did not recognize they got replaced and now it does not oscillating between relay but what concerns me a little bit is when the voltage is a little bit low the output voltage is around 130 volts and then drops down to 115 volts this happens around 105 to 108 volts if remember correctly

        Now...

        3+1 Voltage Regulator for IMVP-7/VR12 CPUs

        Compliant with IMVP-7/VR12, the ISL95831 provides a complete solution for microprocessor and graphic processor
        core power supply. It provides two Voltage Regulators (VRs) with three integrated gate drivers. The first VR can be
        configured as 3-, 2- or 1-phase VR while the second output is 1- phase VR, providing maximum flexibility. The two VRs share the
        serial control bus to communicate with the CPU and achieve lower cost and smaller board area compared with the two chip approach.
        Based on Intersil's Robust Ripple Regulator...
