    At Dgtech's suggestion I ran resistance across the 1-3 legs on those inverter transistors, power off in circuit :
    On the Master Inverter all 4 Q14,15,18,19 read source-drain 3.4K-4.1 K ohms
    On the Slave Inverter all 4 Q215,216, 218, 219 read only 300-400 ohms
    ..they are all 8 marked fDG52AD FDD 8447L

    The IC mentioned on those boards is a 16 leg 0Z9982GN T02980 4T 0645C1
    The master / slave inverters are notorious for failures. Recently someone referenced a modification to be done on them to improve reliability.

    It gets worse. The weather here has started warming up. (Well, if you consider lows in the upper 40's and highs in the lower 70's warm.) That means I can start working outdoors.

    My spring cleanup work includes pruning more than a dozen oleanders and about a dozen rose bushes, spraying weeds twice a week, digging a trench 60' long to bury the backwash line for the pool filter, building a work platform so I can repair the shade over the goldfish pond, replacing the shade battens, replacing a piece of siding (that happens to be 8' up in the air), building a support so I can lift 200 lb fountain sections, rebuilding the fountain, cutting down a grapefruit tree that is dying, and spreading crushed rock around a planter.

    Now, this wouldn't have been a big deal 40 years ago, but now I can barely work 20 minutes at a time without resting. The good news is I have until the end of May to finish these projects.

    Hey King , when you get a chance, look at my post (#29) here:
    https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...974#post129974

    This is a quick check to rule out a common problem with these inverter boards. The board design is a little different however the parts are mostly the same. All resistance measurements should be done with the power disconnected.

    Please post the readings you get from the eight components (4 per board).

    Plainbill gave me flashbacks of my kitchen backsplash. Grouting is ok but cleaning it off when you're done, tedious!

    Re: Vizio VW42LFHDTV10...Brother Mikes TV...> Mainboard readings

    So that's my problem...not fully employed, and not retired, so the demands on my time expand to exceed the available solutions for any given problem !

    Jumping ahead I think we have a faulty component or two on the mainboard. So trying to follow their trouble shooting path I checked these points with the power kicked up, ie white logo and 12v+5v+1.4v into mainboard:
    U1 Pins 5,6,7,8 are all... 5V
    U5 Pin 2 is.. 1.8V
    U4 is not used
    U6 Pin 2 is 8.0V.....out of spec !
    U8 Pin 2 is 3.3V
    U7 Pin 2 is...1.1V.....out of spec !
    U9 Pin 2 is...1.5V.....? spec ?
    U10 Pin 2 is...2.6V.....out of spec !

    J7 is the multi cable connector on top center of board, not sure where the
    wires all go, but got these readouts---all seem out of spec:
    Pin 1... 0.V
    Pin 2... 0.V
    Pin 3 ..1.3V
    Pin 4 ...1.3V
    Pins 10, 11, and 12....0.15V
    Pin 14... 0.V

    That's the source. I'll look at it when I get a chance. One of the problems with being fully employed is demands on your time expand to exceed the available time. It doesn't get any better when you're retired.

    Not specifically, but this is a common problem. Most 3 terminal regulators have the output voltage incorporated into the part number, so it is practical to measure the output voltage on every regulator and determine if it is correct.

    Re: Vizio VW42LFHDTV10...Brother Mikes TV...Cap repair a no go

    The test with the 6 new caps on the mainboard shows NOTHING has changed.
    So to repeat the situation and readings...
    Set double clicks when plugged in, amber light is on, 165V at main cap, and only 5VDC to mainboard, no other supplys...it then will not kick up by any other means except pressing SW1 and wait about 10 seconds, and it clicks up to white, then main cap is 400VDC, there is then 24 volts and 1.4v to master inverter, and 24v to slave inverter, and there is then 12v, 5v, and 1.4v to mainboard.
    No blue diode for ccfl , no backlights or flash at all, no image or sound. Set will not turn off by SW1 but only if plugged pulled , and it will not return to 400vdc level by replugging.
    What would you suggest next ?

    Re: Vizio VW42LFHDTV10...Brother Mikes TV...taicons

    I took out the 6 Taicon caps from the mainboard, and all 6 had actual ESR's
    about 4 to 5 times what I would call OK to leave, and up to 16 times higher than the Panasonic FM's I installed.
    Interesting the out of circuit ESR's were in all cases about 10-20% lower than the in circuit nos I read..eg, those parallel 0.76 in circuit caps both read about 0.65 when pulled.
    Now that they're off I see they where mostly Taicon series VT with the two 'poor' ones series VZ.
    Results of fix...see next post...>

    From some comments I have seen, you are only half right. Seriously, you should trust the readings of your ESR meter over what some guy in Phoenix says. A cap that gives a bad reading is bad. A cap that reads a good ESR is almost certainly good, and is not the cause of a problem you are seeing. If it is a garbage brand, it may fail soon, but it hasn't yet.

    Bill....what I meant was an acceptably low ESR reading for a used cap regardless of series or manufacturer...as a guide I use in LCD circuits....

    1) Bob Parker's K7214 table...I want my caps at less than half of his values:


    2) Kakopa's design...I like the high quality or better columns:

    Originally posted by PlainBill
    You are going to have to do that yourself. Start by looking for a datasheet based on the manufacturer and series, then looking up the ESR for the capacity and voltage. Remember this is a 'better than' value. A capacitor with an ESR rating of .05 ohms might read .02.

    Bridge rectifier identification part number KPB305G

    I'm in the midst of reparing a battery charger in work which went pop, The bridge rectifier has shorted and took out a couple of other components. The rectifier in question has a part number KPB305G, and it looks like it's obsolete. Does any one know what I could replace it with?...

    Fujitsu Q556, What capacitor for bridge rectifier?
    by mpn78
    Hello

    My Fujitsu Esprimo Q556 motherboards blew up. At least fuse, bridge rectifier and capacitor got damaged. I have changed fuse and bridge rectifier (DF1508S), but I don't know what capacitor it is (picture). I know that capacitors size is 47nF, but I don't know other specs for it. Can you help me to choose right capacitor for my motherboard?
    There is 240V AC on input side of bridge rectifier and 340V DC as output on capasitors side.

    I have a 40 volt AC transformer that I put a bridge rectifier on, and I wanted to see the input signal and the output signal on the same screen on my scope, so I set one channel up with the test lead on one side of the input and the ground lead on the other side of the input, then I used another channel on the scope and clipped the test lead on the positive side of the output then the ground on the negative side of the output.

    When I connected the transformer to power, the wire that was connected between the ground lead on the second channel and the negative side of the bridge rectifier...

    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.

    Diagnosing South Bridge (FH82H370) on Asus H370-Pro Gaming Motherboard

    Hi,

    I'm learning about motherboard repair and I believe I've traced the issue down for the South Bridge on the particular motherboard I'm working on. My path of concluding that:
    - There's no sign of any attempt to power on when pushing the power button.
    - No PSON signal is reaching the 24-pin ATX connector.
    - The Super IO chip is receiving the PS_SWITCH signal from the power button and is relaying this signal back to the South Bridge.
    - The Super IO is not receiving the S_SLPS#_R signal back from the South Bridge
    - If I pull the Super IO S_SLPS#_R pin...
