    Re: Memorex MLT3221 - No Power

    Hopefully my replacement caps will be in very soon. Thanks again PlainBill for hanging in there with me.

    voltage from hot ground to pin6 = 0-.4vdc

    I didn't see or smell smoke, hope that's a good sign!
    I hear you. I'm working on 4 Mindstorm NXTs soldering parts much smaller than a grain of rice.

    Well, the voltages indicate there is some activity on the SMPS controller. Possible causes are a bad startup cap or problem with the tertiary winding. Because of the lack of activity on pin4, it's probably not a shorted output diode.

    ecking, Thanks. It'll be fairly easy to verify the pinout.

    johnnieboy2, I've marked up the picture of the bottom of the power supply. The point circled in black is the negative terminal of the large cap. It is also the 'hot' ground. I've also marked pins 1, 3, 4, and 6 of the SMPS controller.

    With the TV disconnected from AC power, measure the resistance from hot ground (circled in black) to pin 1 of the SMPS controller (IC2). It should be very low - essentially zero.

    Next, plug in the power cord and carefully measure the voltage from hot ground to pins 1 through 6 of IC2. Report the readings.

    [QUOTE=johnnieboy2;193033]I managed to get a pic of the IC in question, excuse the quality please. It's got a 'blue star' just below the IC, number is definitely correct...maybe a 'house' number...unless the '6' is a 'G'? Sorry for the triple post.

    Re: Memorex MLT3221 - No Power

    If I had to bet, I'd stick with that number...but, possibly the '6' could be a '5'. It's not hard to read with a 'glass', but there is a small dot to the lower left of the first number that could make a 5 look like a 6. The only other number that could be confusing is the '7' which could be a '1', but it's slanted so I highly doubt that.

    Nope, that crosses to a 3 pin IC. Sometime is you look at them at an angle the numbers are easier to read.

    OK, time to regroup. After looking this over carefully, I missed a LOT of clues, and misidentified the function of some components.

    IC2 (six pin IC up from the IC I circled in blue) is probably the SMPS controller. What is it's part number (yes, time to get a magnifying glass).

    The IC circled in blue is almost certainly the PFC controller; we aren't going to sweat the identification.

    Aww, crap!!! It looks like I was wrong. I'm going to have to look over this again. One of the ICs I identified as an SMPS controller is a power FET, the other isn't identifiable, both are on the cold side of the power supply. The one I thought was an inverter controller is an SMPS controller. No, it's worse than that. The SG3525AN is definitely the controller for the high voltage (inverter) output. And the SMPS controller must be on the hot side of the power supply

    These identifications are tentative; if you supply the part number of the first three I an confirm them.

    Blue circle - PFC Controller.

    Yellow circles - Standby and Main SMPS controllers

    Orange circle - Inverter controller.

    Red circle - unknown, but possibly a 'power good' sensor.

    As you know, your 5V DC standby voltage is most likely your problem. With that being said, the problem rests on the power board. There are only a few components that make up the 5VDC. I dont have a schematic, and I'd give my left pinky toe for one, but I think the PWM might have something to do with the standby 5V. Check to see if that main chip, near the main output connector, has 13 volts on one of the pins. I can't remember what pin it was. I'm gonna try to find a thread with more info to help out.

    Wrong controller. That's the inverter controller. The SMPS controllers would be the two 8 pin ICs near oneanother on the bottom of the board.

    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.

    Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
    by PantherDave
    Hi all!

    I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

    I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

    Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue

    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...

    Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
    by sam_sam_sam
    I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

    One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...
