    Re: Xigmatek 500W ATX PSU went POP and stopped working

    I have not had the problem of not getting the items ordered it weather or not the item would work correctly or not and to get a seller on AliExpress to work with you about the problem is hit and miss and getting AliExpress to help you with a problem is also hit and miss

    ( and this depends on what the issue is to weather or not they will help you or not )

    Banggood is only some what better time wise sometimes and there customers service is some what better but not as good as EBay

    ( but I know that buyer that are temped to take advantage of the fact that there customer service is focused on the buyer )

    but me personally I give the seller a chance to resolve an issue with an device before getting eBay customer service involved

    ( but a seller non responsive to an issue will not give me much patience working with them )



    Alibaba.com is another story by it self I do not even want to comment on the issue I have with service for buying some items from——> but let just say that I would NOT hold my breath when I need to order something that I can not find any other place because you never know if the seller will approve your order or if you can afford the shipping cost or can you find a seller that you can buy one or two of an item

      Yeah, that's exactly what I've heard.
      With AliExp, it's hard to get back to the seller and make them work with you if there is a problem... whereas with eBay, that's usually not an issue.

      Same.
      I don't like to take advantage of the customer service if there is no need or if seller can / is willing resolve the issue, and if there truly is a genuine issue (i.e. item not working and etc.) Some people will abuse this, though, and eBay will side with the buyer... which may not be that great of a thing for anyone looking to sell on eBay.

        Harman Kardon sub TS11 (ds15 amplifer) blows fuse and mosfets
        by BlackScreen_22
        Hi, I'll start by saying that I'm not an expert and I've reached a point where I don't know what to try/do anymore...
        Starting from the beginning: I opened this subwoofer for the first time with a very strong smell of burnt electrical components, I realize that on the amplifier board there is a hole between V+ OUT and GND about the size of a finger, the damaged components were the shorted mosfets, two damaged zener diodes and two capacitors. I bought everything, I fixed the hole by cutting the pcb and putting a piece of a perforated board.
        I had no problems connecting mosfets and capacitors,...

        Intel D865PERL - no Vcore after replacing MOSFETs and MOSFET drivers
        by kotel studios
        Hi,

        Finally got time to fix this board up.
        At first it didn't give any POST codes. Turns out it was an unsupported Celeron D cpu. After dropping in an Celery 2.6gHz the CPU came out of reset with clock signal, but still no post codes. For a while it did work when I applied pressure to the ADP3168 chip, but on next reboot the MOSFETs started to burn. Then I left it as is for months.

        Now I came back prepared. Replaced the bad MOSFETs and the ADPxx18k drivers. Now I don't get any MOSFETs blowing up issues anymore. But sadly, the Vcore is missing. The whole VRM isn't...

        Gainward Phantom GTX 980 - mosfets w/ integrated driver NCP5369
        by flerre
        Hi!

        Managed to get a Gainward Phantom GTX 980 in an auction for a bin with components.
        No video out so I started fault finding and found a blown fuse for 3 mosfets. Started checking for shorts and found what I think is a short through all of those 3 mosfets; 0.1 ohms between "VIN" input and "VSWH" output. All mosfets in this gpu are the same ones (NCP5369) with integrated drivers and when I tried measuring the other ones through these ports they were somewhere in the kilo-ohms range.

        So, could I safely assume all of these 3 mosfets are...

        Lenovo Ideapad 15IIL05, turns on and off with charger BUT works by injecting 20v after main mosfets
        by NanoTesting
        I got a 15-IIL05 that failed to turn on BUT IT DID TRY TO TURN ON and then turned off after 30+- seconds, i disassembled it and found a screw loose inside the case.
        With charger it turns on, fan spins but gives no image.
        Tested main mosfets no short, tested 3.3v,5v,DRAM, CPU etc and they were present.
        Reflashed BIOS, same problem.
        Replaced both main mosfets.
        Checked main mosfets again and i noticed that they closed once the laptop shut down, so i decided to bypass them and used a bench PSU to check how much power the laptop was drawing while trying to turn on, 20v@3A,...

        HP F4180 stopped working please help troubleshoot
        by flat-earther
        I was doing a large print job with my HP Deskjet F4180, and after about 50 pages the printer stopped in the middle of a page and the black ink light started flashing.
        So I went to refill the black ink cartridge with a syringe, but found out it still had a lot of ink.

        I tried to print a page again but every time it would print only a bit of the page and immediately stop with the black ink light flashing again.
        I tried two other black ink cartridges, and the problem still endured, so I knew this problem had to be with the printer itself.

        I ran HP Print and Scan...
