    This 8-pin chip is for controlling the PowerGood signal, as I said earlier.
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

      There are schottky rectifiers with a reverse voltage (Vrrm) rating of 250V e.g. MBR40250 - 250V, 40A (!) - this is only available in a TO-220 package.

        Interesting. Looks like the parts were released in 2004 and 2005.

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

          [HELP] Acer AN515-55 (LA-J871P Rev: 1B) – Board won't power on after GPU investigation – Suspecting Super I/O or PCH

          Hi everyone,

          I'm working on an Acer Nitro 5 unit with the following specs:
          • Motherboard: LA-J871P Rev: 1B
          • Model: Acer AN515-55-59MT
          • S/N: NHQ7JAL00403906A973400
          • SNID: 03902728734

          Initial Issue


          The laptop initially presented graphic issues and driver failure (Code 43) for the GPU.

          After preventive maintenance (cleaning, thermal paste, etc.), it powered on normally. We disassembled it again to inspect the GPU, reassembled...

          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...

          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...

          2070 Super with crazy power consumption numbers
          by Joe24
          Have a Gigabyte 2070 Super with some bonkers power draw readings. Card runs fine, other than some GPU throttling because of the power numbers. But GPU power always reads too high, more than the power reading for the entire card. And VRAM power always reads way too low, along with PCIe and 6-pin power readings. The 8-pin reading seems plausible.

          Typical readout while running 720p Furmark, 8x AA:

          GPU clock: 1590 MHz
          Mem clock: 1750 MHz
          GPU temp: 58.8 °C
          Hot spot: 71.8 °C
          Fan speed: 33% / 1000 rpm
          Mem used: 454 MB
          GPU load: 97%
          ...

          Vintage AT Power Supplies - Selecting Capacitors
          by iMic
          Hi,

          Back after a long hiatus with some old power supplies that need repairing. I've recently picked up a couple of 386SX systems, two 486DX systems, a SiliconGraphics Indy and an iMac G3 that either have verified leaking capacitors in their power supplies, or are likely to in the near future. For the sake of simplicity, instead of tackling all at once, I'm starting with the 386's and one of the 486's.


          The 386's power supplies are Seasonic SS4040A's, with caps that are visibly leaking, and 9 replacement caps per unit are required. Most appear to be from the Rubycon...
