    Re: mercury pc power supply only 5vsb supply.

    The two transistors you checked should read about the same. The fact that one checks different shows there is a problem, remove the transistors and check them out of circuit.
    the vertical at base- continuous beep - black at base- continuous beep-value decreases- o-1812
    This confirms the beeping is meaningless. the resistance of 0Ω or 1812Ω produces the continuity beep. so how in the hell can you go by that?

      yes ,you were right,i saw some youtube vid ,saying the continuity in diode cant be reliable,you have to remove it to test it properly, i was thinking to buy and keep just in case as my shop here is at 1 hour distance.was planning to go there today..
      oh ya i removed it outside ,both of test weird.. confused..
      so going to get new transistors now,if may i get diodes too.

        i cheked the diodes ,with black probe in between and difference at either sides come almost same sometimes or 1 value difference. 40-39 ,39-40.. 28-29 ,guess they are ok
        oh and i removed some 4148 near the transistors which gave short beep with no value. but after removing they checked to be normal ,really as you said damm beeps are nothing!

            Re: mercury pc power supply only 5vsb supply.

            i have this transistor available ST2SC1815 ,almost similar parameters except these 2 - ft is 250 for h495p ,80 for ST2SC1815, power dissipation is 250mW for h495p , 400mW for ST2SC1815
            can i replace h495p with ST2SC1815 ?

              The 2sc1815 should work fro the h945

                hi ,hope you are in good health.. after a long time,i got my shipping.. so i fixed c945 ,fixed it all.. it worked for 2 secs then boom boom ,flashes came.i switched it off immediatly.. please see the pics ,what happend.. i think primary side resistors busted off ,it was fun tho.. atleast i made it work for 2 secs lol.

                  It looks like the mosfets in the primary shorted and blew the gate resistors and diodes, and likely the two small electrolytics were bad as well.

                    Re: mercury pc power supply only 5vsb supply.

                    oh damm.. so its not because of low volt 200v (before it was 250v) in the filter capacitor big ones? anyways to fix them.. ?

                      is it totally damaged? no way to fix it?

                        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.

                        Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
                        by sam_sam_sam
                        I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

                        I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...

                        Need advice testing a samsung power supply board with scope
                        by repair-it
                        I am attempting to test a samsung power supply board to verify the pfc ic is working. I am powering up the board with my isolation transformer. The board turns on fine but when I attempt to connect the ground for the scope probe, it trips out the isolator. I was taught not to 'float my scope' so I am wondering if I should test without connecting the ground lead or would that be asking for trouble? Not sure how else to test, I don't have a portable scope. I could plug direct to mains power but that would bypass the safety factor.

                        Hi, Can we use SMPS Bench Power Supply for Laptop troubleshooting?
                        by shamsudeen
                        Hi all, I just need to know that, can i use SMPS type power supply to test and short circuit detection on a laptop motherboard?
                        I saw 95% of repair guys are using only Linear bench power supply. linear bench power supply is pricy, thats why i planned to get one SMPS supply.

                        i know that in linear power supply the noise will be very low comparing to SMPS supply....

                        Russound CA4 Power Supply Repair
                        by CMCM
                        Hello Everybody,

                        Trying to repair a power supply from a Russound CA4 Multizone Controller (picture attached)

                        Russound no longer supports it but were kind enough to provide a schematic of the power supply (pdf attached).

                        The outputs marked 12v and 20v are all measuring only 1v.

                        The board is clicking, which I think means it is in something called hiccup mode when the flyback transformers switches because of an internal problem or something else on the board Overloading it.

                        The capacitors physically look clean (no bludgesor leaks) and...
