    UMAX Gemini D-16 Scanner

    When I was cleaning a UMAX Gemini D-16 scanner, I found that C7 on the Scanner Assembly PCB was bulging (Matsushita 47uF 25V general purpose). This capacitor had PCB tracks going to the CCFL inverter module connector.
    I replaced it with a 47uF 50V unit (was the 25V unit originally underrated?)
    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.

    most scanner ccfl inverters run from 12v.
    i snag the inverter and tube from obsolete/scrap ones before they hit the dump.

      Maybe the cap is the I/P filter cap and should be a low impedance, 105C type.

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

        What are these components that detect paper in a fax scanner
        by waigy
        PROBLEM SOLVED
        I DIDN'T REALISE MY SMALLEST SOLDERING TIP COULD JUST FIT BETWEEN THESE COMPONENTS.
        I MANAGED TO REMOVE THEM WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE BOARD AND I HAVE MY INTENDED END RESULT.

        On a Possio PM70 portable fax machine which has a scanner that detects when you push a piece of paper into the scanner slot.
        It is these two small (3mm long) components that detect the paper and start the scanner feed motor which pulls the paper into the scanner.
        (These are on the circuit board for the keypad and not the main board)

        I want to disable these as...

        Repair of an LG split AC system indoor unit PCB
        by ngml
        I am trying to repair an LG split AC indoor unit, which does not start and gives a CH05 error code.
        This indicates an error in the communication between the outdoor and the indoor unit.
        The outdoor unit is fine, so the problem is the indoor PCB.
        The indoor unit is an LG PC09SQ NSJ (3SNM09JA2FA), and the PCB has the following type number: EAX35907219-1.2 (see photo1)
        I changed optocouplers ICO1X & ICO2X and the NPN transistor S9013 which drives optocoupler ICO2X (see photo2), but this did not remedy the fault.

        Does anybody have the schematics of this board,...

        Bose Companion 5 - Unit Powers On then Cuts Off Shortly After
        by nobbnobb1
        Hi guys,

        Trying to salvage a Bose Companion 5 computer speaker system that powers off shortly after powering on. It's got a primary USB input (built in DAC) and an aux 3.5mm input. The USB appears to be the primarily source that tells the unit to power on (control pod LED goes green) as the unit has no power switch.

        When I first connect power to the unit, plug in the USB, it will play audio nicely for a minute before it drops out and the unit appears to go into standby (control pod LED goes red). It stays in standby and I cannot seem to power it back on without physically...

        Air-conditioning unit power supply failing to power up
        by Gjackson
        Hi all, I managed to narrow down which PCB was causing my Haier AC to throw out an E7 error code (E7 indicates that the indoor unit and outdoor unit cannot communicate). I found that the outdoor unit power board which gives 5v and 15v to the outdoor unit module board fails to fully power up.. The power Led starts to fade in incredibly slowly and the 5v and 15v power buses jump around like crazy and never reach their required voltage. I unplugged the module board from the power board and the power board powered up fine! It had a steady 5v and 15v out and the power LED came on instantly and Bright....

        Hitachi Power Supply Unit Interchangeability
        by navagator
        I have a Hitachi 57F710E rear projection set with a bad power supply board. I've tried to fix it with help from this forum as well as another one, but without success. Today I found a Hitachi rear projection set for sale on Facebook that looked just like mine. After contacting the seller I found out it was a 51F510. According to the service manuals my set uses a HA01312, POWER UNIT DP4X-DM_24W and the 51F510 uses a HA01313, U901, POWER UNIT DP4X_24W.

        Does anyone know if these 2 power supply boards are interchangeable?

        Thanks.
