    apex ad-115dvd player issue fixed!

    Yeah yeah i know this thing isnt worth fixing because it was like only $40 new.. but what the heck. I save some good used components for a case like this.. also sorry i dont have pics, i took some with my krappy camera and they just did not turn out.


    I picked this up out of the trash, hell, 2 years ago mabye heh and just found it again.

    When powered on led would turn blue, but tray would not eject and video was fuzzy if it worked at all.

    Found one blown 1000uf/10v cap on the power supply. And i mean blown, top and bottom vented..
    Following the traces it appears its the main filter cap for the +12v.

    I stuck in a good used rubycon 1200uf/35v just because its what i had laying around, and voila all voltages in spec now, tray works, video is perfect. Watching mr deeds now

    THe cap i pulled out is some weired brand ive never seen before. Its sad to think that even dvd players are not immune to bad caps.

    I figured i would share the fix for this particular case. ALso fyi ive fixed one of these probhably 3 or 4 years ago with the dvd tray that would not move but worked otherwise. It was an easy fix- the belt for the tray was broken.

    I wonder why the manufacturer chose to use a 10V cap to filter 12V. Was this DVD player designed to fail, or was this just stupidity?
    What brand was this cap?

        Sony DVD player stuck tray (DVP-SR310P)
        by bogosort


        Hello,

        I have a Sony DVD player with a stuck tray. It seems that moving or pressing on the tray makes it work.

        Anyone knows why?

        Thank you....

        MacBook Air A2337 (820-02016) USB-C Port Issue – Only Works in One Orientation (CC Line Problem?)
        by rounin
        Hi everyone,

        I'm working on a MacBook Air 2020 (A2337, board 820-02016) and running into a strange USB-C issue. I've gone through quite a bit of testing and part replacement, but I'm stuck β€” hoping someone here can shed some light.

        πŸ›  Original Issue
        The machine initially wouldn't negotiate 20V over USB-C β€” stuck at 5V.
        Diagnosis showed PP1V5_UPC0_LDO_CORE shorted to ground.

        I replaced U3100 (UF400) using a donor board (A2179), and the machine powers on fine now.

        LG 75UN8570AUD panel issue fixed with tape.
        by triplefour
        I've been seeing a lot of the new TVs (samsung and LG only i think) maybe 1-2 years old suffering from sudden panel death and have been over 50% successful bringing them at least most of the way back to functionality if not all the way, with the tape masking of the LVDS pins method.
        add this one to the list. the issue was on the left side of the panel and i ended up blocking just 3 pins on the connector that joins the two panel boards that make up the left side of the panel (it has 4 boards total) i didnt get the picture back to 100% perfect. i spent hours fiddling with which pins to block...
