    Voltage regulator question!

    Ok so I am working on a 32" Craig LCD TV (cheap piece). Of course I cant find any info on it, but thats ok I have fixed a few TV's..lol. So a lightning storm blew the TV. Testing it, I found that only one AMS1117 regulator is getting Vin...So I jumped 5V to the next one in line and the TV works! This also makes it so all the regulators now have Vin....So my question is, I know this is not the proper fix, but will this be ok to run 5V straight to the regulator. I am not buying a board for this TV, because it is soooo not worth it. So just wanted a second opinion on if I should install a proper jumper wire for the 5V and call it good? Thanks!

    Re: Voltage regulator question!

    If you can try to find out where the Vin pins are connected to, may be it is from the output of another regulator.

      I checked everywhere I could(with no manual) and could not find the supply...very frustrating. Because the TV is cheap, the main board in the size of smart phone..lol. The tracers are very hard to see. I will continue to look, if you think the jumper idea is bad..

        Can I see the picture? Also point out which one is not getting the Vin, and the one that gets the Vin.

              Yes I totally agree! I have used continuity tests to find that there is a break from the 5V input connector to the voltage regulators that ARE NOT getting power. Just can't find the open/break in the circuit...

                So all the one with white circle are the one that do not have Vin, but the red on is the one that is working? Also which one that you inject the 5V into the input pin?

                  Re: Voltage regulator question!

                  Yes that is correct. the one I injected was the lower left one(next to the SMD arrow). Also wanted note that the continuity test shows that Vin on that same regulator is grounded...

                      You will probably find it uses more power in standby, but not enough to be too concerned about.

                        hello ,for diy voltage injector for short killer/finder -- is it possible to use something like this - LM317 DC Linear Regulator, DC-DC 4.5~40V Turn 1.2~37V, Step Down Power Module, Adjustable

                        and ampere controller along (to make it zero amps ) with some addons(transistors diodes etc.) for it -- and use some 5v adaptor or 3.3v volt rail of my smps power supply as input and finally get 1v and zero amps for injecting voltage to find out short circuit component ? ..
                        for source input -- can we use 3.3 -4 volt 18550 battery ?( i have some of those ) and then adding ampere regulator...

                        Help identifying voltage regulator on this concept 2 pm5 monitor pcb board?
                        by artvandalai
                        This Concept 2 rower pm5 monitor doesn't shut down. It keeps turning on and stays on after being turned off. I read on another forum by another user that replaced the same component to check the voltage regulator.
                        The monitor should pull around 35mA when turned on and in shutdown it should drops to around 0.060mA. Any advice on finding the voltage regulator on this board to check if it needs to be replaced?

                        Hello all. Excellent forum you have here - it has already been a great help to me. I am posting the details of my situation before I go and start buying parts to see what suggestions the great minds here may have on diagnostics or otherwise.

                        I have an Acer AL1916W monitor which has recently failed in the following way: the screen comes on at power on, but after a couple seconds the screen goes black. Using a flashlight, I can easily verify the LCD is fine but there is simply no backlight.

                        Ram regulator misbehaving DDR3 VTT voltage Tps 51216
                        by shakib200
                        The ram regulator produces VTT voltage of 0.65V and the display comes. When we restart the laptop the VTT voltage becomes 0.75 and no display.[Used same ddr3l ram].
                        Also, it becomes 1.35 V on the ram coil and all are okay but after restarting Voltage becomes 1.5V with no display.
