    RCA Mod# L42WD22

    Problem was first: TV would not power up. It would appear to be powering up and connecting to a channel only to go dark and power off. The local "parts re-placer" shop said it was the power supply and replaced that. Then they said it was the main board but it was not available to order. When I opened it up the new (?) power supply was not even connected. When I connected it, something smoked in our near the lower transformer. Is it worth trying to get a main board or is it trash?

    Did you get your old power supply board back - if not can you?

      Sounds like a tech shop who wanted to scam you?

          Haha wow, they really ripped you off!

          Is the 'new' power supply new, and is it the correct board number for this model of TV?

          They could be right though, there might be a short on the mainboard, which caused this 'new' psu to smoke.

            Lenovo V15-IIL motherboard swap (in V15-IKB) shuts down when internal display is connected
            by Giggle2562
            Hello everyone,

            I have a Lenovo V15-IKB that had a damaged motherboard. I replaced it with a motherboard from a Lenovo V15-IIL.

            The board powers on, but it shuts down after about 10-15 seconds. This only happens when the internal display (LCD panel) is connected.

            Here's what I've tried so far:
            • When the internal display is disconnected, the laptop works perfectly fine via HDMI.
            • The laptop shows an image on the internal display for a few seconds before it shuts down.
            • I tried swapping the LCD panel with a known good one.
            • I tried swapping the LCD cable

            A1990 820-01814-A dead not charging - need help with diagnostics.
            by master_haze86
            Good day everyone,

            Let me preface this with letting you know that I have a smalltime computer repair shop but do not have a lot of experience when it comes to board diagnostics. I am good at soldering etc but finding the issue if there isn't an obvious burnt component is not my strong suit.

            The other day I got a customer come in with a macbook A1990 (motherboard 820-01814-A) that would not turn on and had previously been getting the warning message that the battery needed servicing. (Most folks seem to ignore that message, just like the check engine light in vehicles.)...

            Acer Predator Helios 300 - will not power up if battery is CONNECTED
            by survivalbloke
            This was a no power initially. Thanks to your help, I discovered it was the first mosfet, so I replaced. Now, the device will power up only if the battery is NOT connected. As soon as I connect the battery, it shuts off. If I connected the battery while the device is off, it simply will not respond to the power button. I replaced the battery, and while I suppose the new battery could be faulty, I'm assuming it is not. I'm having the same behavior with the new battery. I measure .2v at the charging coil. Manually applying power to the + and - at the battery header, there is no charging happening....

            PS5 too many USB devices connected
            by muhuruu
            Hello. I have a problem with a PS5 console that I bought to learn electronics repair. The auction description indicated that the console had been dropped. The HDMI port and USB ports were damaged. The HDMI port was replaced by the previous owner, and after his repair, the console worked for 2 days and then became dead. After receiving the console, I replaced all the USB ports. After replacing them, the console started to turn on. On the logo screen, it displays "too many USB devices connected". My further attempts to fix the error involved replacing the Southbridge, 4 TPS2001D chips,...

            820-2915-A Wont power on with battery connected
            by beogeek
            Ok so this doing my head in and hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be able to assist.

            I've got a MacBook Pro 820-2915-A it will power on without the battery connected, but when the battery is connected it will do a 2,3-second fan spin when pressing the power button and then nothing.

            After measuring and probing around I found that R7051 was bad, reading high instead of 2.2Ω so I replaced it. Still the same issue, I have the green light on the charger but it won't power on or charge the battery.

            So to cut the long story short I've replaced U7000,...
