    Replacement IGBT's for LG TV reading weird

    Hi guys,

    I have a LG Plasma that went bang one night.

    Long story short, I took it to a "professional" shop to repair the YSUS board that was shorted and they did a half ass job.

    I'm a long way down the path of teaching myself component level repair, but not 100% confident in everything yet, hence what might be a basic question.

    The repair shop replaced 3 transistors on one of the two heat sinks and fixed one short, but the second set of transistors on the second sink still had a short.

    So I removed this sink and the attached components and found another 3 shorted components.

    I have since purchased replacements off AliExpress - 30F126 IGBT's.

    Here is my question. When I test the new 30F126's on a multi-meter in diode mode or continuity, I get nothing. No diode junction from Base to Emiter or collector, and no shorts. When I test all the other Transistors, I get a diode junction acorss Base to emiter.
    Am I right in expecting new 30F126's to give me a reading on a multimeter, or do I need to go buy a component analyser?
    Trying to work out if these new components are duds or not before I install them.

    Cheers,
    Sam

    You may have some fake ones, not sure but they are surely faulty, some testing of IGBT there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYZW6BFD7ak

      You definitely have fakes! Do not use them or you may do more damage.

        maybe you can share the name or ID of the seller on ali, if they are selling bogus components we can at least make a note to avoid them.

          they dont have a base ..its the gate ..very low turn on datasheet here ....https://www.datasheet-pdf.info/entry/30F126

              A2681 Keyboard, trackpad and sleep?!
              by iMuhtaseb
              Wow it's been a while since I posted!

              This is a weird case, it has a history of liquid spill a year ago but customer did not want to replace neither trackpad or keyboard.. fast forward for today:

              A2681 turns on but not trackpad or keyboard feedback (or external keyboard and mouse) and then after a minute or so the Mac sleeps..

              It's a NOT a sleep sensor or trackpad or keyboard or daughterboard or anything else (I replaced all those); it's the logic board..

              Tested another locked logic board on customer's top case and it posted with keyboard and...

              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...

              Unknown transformer : how to find a good replacement part ?
              by the_rem
              Hello guys,

              I would like a quite old but still good 800 W ATX PSU to be repaired. The problem was an extremely heavy coil whine coming from the small secondary transfomer on the PCB.

              I desoldered it hoping the references on the upper side would allow me to find a adequate replacement part. Sadly the written references drove me nowhere but to the manufacturer (I-MAG). I sent them a message like a bottle in the see asking them to send me a datasheet of the transformer. And... They responded ! I received a kind of datasheet (see attachment) but my competencies do not allow...

              PS4 controller left stick potentiometer replacement issue
              by ezenia
              Hello,

              Not sure if this is the correct section, but I have a PS4 controller that I am trying to fix. It developed stick drift on the left stick and the usual simpler methods did not fix the problem.

              So I went on eBay and ordered some replacement potentiometers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174967976757 is where I got them from.

              I took the green potentiometers off the replacement sticks and soldered them onto the PCB. Assembled the controller and ran some tests. The drifting was somewhat fixed (not fully in center, but way better than before). However,...

              Macbook pro logic board replacement parts quesion
              by boosti45
              i have a 2020 macbook pro 13" A2251 with 820-09149 logic board so i found an issue with chip labeled U6903 according to schem. boardview using flexBV software, so i removed it from the board and the issue im having is that the chip says "07A08FI ELC180​" on top of it but when searching for a replacement chip, i can find tons of identical looking chips that also have "ELC180" printed on them but the first set of digits is never the same so im trying to find out if i need this exact chip with these same numbers as mine and if not which ones are compatible as a replacement?...
