    Is the orange device an IGTB type module if so I would check it for shorts and I would also check the driver for the mosfet that failed as well

      The orange device is the transformer.
      If the mosfet shorted check if the source resistor is also opens, also check the gate drive resistors, usually when the mosfet fails it damages the control ic as well.
      All the burnt black carbon around C2 needs to be removed from the pc board as well or it may start to arc across.

        the drive of mosfet is 3845b..ic the resistors near the mosfet are ok...the capacitor has replaced . in the holes missing capacitor 0.033nf 1000v . at the hole near mosfet has a rail which goes to smd resistance and after to driver ic . before i dont know the rail where was gone ? the mosfet replaced p10nk80zfp..shall i replace drive mosfet ?

          most likely you need to replace mosfet again, as well as the 3845 which needed to be replaced with the mosfet.
          I still don't get how the capacitor immolated, probably a track under the capacitor.

            The return of the source resistors (6R81 x 4) should connect to dc ground. Here is what I believe it should look like and how the traces connected through a feed thru under the C2 cap

              the 2 points i marked was the capactior 0,033 1000v non polarity..the one side rail will connect to the ground ?

                I think the one end connects to the negative of the power supply, If it went to the positive they would have a trace from the positive of the electrolytic cap to the .033µf.

                    Re: welder zimmer 201 power control board

                    One thing is that you must clean all the carbon of the board where the part when bad first then go from there with high dc voltage in that area is going to cause issues

                    I have repaired plasma cutting machine boards and if you do have them clean near where the high dc voltage it is going to arc and error out

                    I personally have these issues in the past

                      You had absolute right i cut the pcb in the burn area and the machine start up...it has another issue ..on ports of welder has only 10volt ac...and if i increase amp it does a little better arc but its still weak for welding. i think voltage must be at last 30volts... shall i check the big capacitors with esr ? or its something else?

                          You also need to check your connector connections from the board to the connector to the outside world and the connector from the outside world to your work lead and your grounding clamp and make sure that they are in good shape

                          These connections need to be very clean because the board senses the the voltage and controls the current at least the ones that I have worked do it this way

                          If after you have made sure that the connector connections are clean and in good shape and you are still having issues then you might still have an issue with the controller portion of the controller board

                          I have not personally worked on this exact controller board that you have but I have work on two different versions of welding machine controller boards before and it is somewhat difficult to figure out what can cause it not to function correctly ( sometimes it might not be repairable depending on what the issue is )

                          The approach that I use is that I start from the high voltage/high current output and work backwards until I reach the controller portion of the circuit and decide if it is a high voltage/high current output or is it the voltage/current feedback section of the controller function is the issue and go from there

                          One other thing that I would highly recommend is that you very closely look over the entire controller board for burnt trace and separated traces but look very carefully around the connectors to the outside world connectors and also look at every component on the board for cracking burnt marks and carbon traces

                          I would use a magnifying glass to do this and take your time to doing this because you might get lucky and find an issue that you did not see earlier but carbon track ( or to much flux residue ) between traces is going to be an issue do not over look this

                          Post a picture of the welder and all of the parts inside of the welder

                          One note you can check the big capacitor with an ESR meter but I can not tell you what value would be considered ( bad ) but here is one way that you can check this type of capacitor

                          If you have a adjustable power supply that has enough voltage for the capacitor that you are testing for example if it is a 50 volt capacitor and you have a power supply that can get you very close to 50 volts

                          Then charge the capacitor up to close to or up to 50 volts very slowly until you reach the maximum voltage of the capacitor then remove the voltage from the capacitor and have a volt meter on the capacitor and see quickly it discharges it should keep it charge for awhile before it reaches 0 volts

                          Another test that you can do is also put a LED on the capacitor with the correct value resistor for this voltage to control the current on the LED and see how quickly it discharge to where you do not see the LED is not lighting anymore ( it should stay light for a certain amount of time )

                            i have found on the pcb on the bottom a rail which was burned ....i see a resistance with crack on it the green one which i dont know its resistance the letters are not recognized..and the capacitor behind tip 127 had leakage after i start up the machine without change the resistance. i check it with multimeter and i saw 48ohms...the others are 6kohm ..each

                              I would give each circuit board a good look over for dull or cracked and bad soldering joints
                              ( I once had a battery charger controller board on big magnet that picked up metal plates that had very dull soldering joints and that once I clean the board of solder and re-soldered every joint it came back to life ) ( yes this is an extreme case example but I mention it because it can cause all kinds of issues )

                              I would also recommend replacing the capacitors with a 50uf or lower because they are known to dry out easier than capacitors with higher UF values ( might be advisable to maybe replace all the capacitors if you are having issues with them leaking )

                              I would also clean the flux off the board as well especially around ic chips

                              I see that this controller board has several optic sensors I would recommend that you check each one off the board and make sure that they are working correctly because I had an issue once on a controller board that some of the optic sensors were flaky and that was one of its issues

                                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.

                                Hi all, I just want to share the repair of my 60PK550-UA TV set.

                                The TV set was powering on, just no image. After verification, nothing wrong on the YSus or ZSus boards. Nothing wrong on the main board either.

                                But I noticed that the LED was not flashing on the Logic Control Board. This is an EBR63450301. The LED is supposed to flash even with all the flat cables disconnected, with only the power cable attached.

                                All the voltages measured at the electrolytic capacitors on the board were good. From top left to bottom right:
                                C57: 3.30V

I just basically need to find this mosfet to purchase, I cannot find it anywhere and am hoping someone could point me in the right direction without have to purchase this entire allusive board. Already checked with Digikey, Mouser, Aliexpress, eBay. Any suggestions?

                                I am looking at the option of replacing my control/driver board to one with HDMI and/or Display port input on a 2K LED (I think IPS) screen.

                                The display is Samsung LTM270DL07.

                                I have tried using the model number to search for a compatible control/driver board but so far my efforts have been futile.

                                I am looking for inputs on what board could potentially be used for my display.
