    Viero PDP42V18HA short on Z-SUS?

    I picked up this 42 plasma from a friend, it would power on, click a few times, power off then back on a second time and click a few times then goes off.

    I found one of the ceramic fuses on the Zsus blown, replaced with same fuse but no change. I then unplugged the zsus from the power supply and now the tv will come on and show video on little more than half the tv but a little dim.

    I assumed the zsus is bad so I pulled it and ran a few checks and both Vs inputs on the board are shorting out to ground. Pulled all capacitors then rechecked board with caps out and still have short.

    I am thinking the ipm is probably toast, any one else have a suggestion, thanks?

      I would agree with your conclusion. A dim picture means the Y-sustain is likely OK, the Z-sustain needs a repair.

          Any advice on removing it? I've done all types of soldering but even hitting this one with 1100 degree heat gun won't loosen the solder. Also tried with iron at 400, 600, and 800 degrees and no luck.

              I have never done it myself, sorry. It's very difficult to do. Some suggest sucking solder off each pin works, then preheating the board.

                  Yea, that's what I have done before but I can't get the solder hot enough for some reason. I even tried adding some more to get it to come off but no luck. If I figure it out will post back.

                  Thanks.

                      My advice is to treat yourself to a Christmas gift and get yourself a Hakko 808 desoldering gun.

                          Yeah, I wish. The one I have is adjustable temp up to 900 and I have various different solder suckers as well. I just tried again with the heat gun and acutally melted a regulator on the other side of the board before losening the solder, oh well new board is only about $60.

                              Extreme High Current & Low Voltage Short Killer ??
                              by DynaxSC
                              Hi Folks

                              I'm looking for a extreme high current short killer solution for a reasonable cost.

                              I have an LGA1700 motherboard (ASUS PRIME Z790-P WiFi) where I exchanged the LGA socket already 3 times, and every time after the socket exchange I get a short of power supply lines VCORE (V variable) and VCCIN_AUX (1.8V).
                              After taking off the socket, the shorts dissappear again.
                              The soldermask on the socket is already partially demaged from the heat, so I have reconstructed the soldermask by manually painting the missing soldermask parts with a very small top of a...

                              MacBook Pro 14" A2442 Short on PPBUS_AON but no short present when injecting voltage!
                              by Stephen
                              I check PPBUS_AON and there is a short present on the line, the computer shows a short when testing for short to ground, so when I inject voltage into the line, I get 0AMPS so no short is showing up. I have replaced a blown cap on this board that exploded and tested for the short and it is now removed. Any suggestions? I tested voltage at the line when the fuses are connected and I am getting 1.2 Volts at the line.

                              Acer Nitro 5 LA-L181p power LED turns on by 5 secs (Short on PCH rail?)

                              Hello everyone,

                              I'm trying to repair my old Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-54-55T5). I've already bought a new laptop, so this is more of a learning project. For the experience, with no high expectations of success.

                              Well, my decice specs are the following:

                              Model: Acer Nitro 5 AN517-54-55T5
                              CPU: Intel Core i5-11400H
                              GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
                              Motherboard: GH51G LA-L181P Rev:1c

                              The symptom:
                              When pressing the power button, the power LED lights up for about 5 seconds and then turns off. Initially, the issue was intermittent: sometimes...

                              9th Gen Dell Optiplex Micro PC motherboard repair: Short Circuit?
                              by Geeker007
                              Hi All, I have a 9th Gen Dell Optiplex micro PC motherboard which doesn't power on. When I connect the motherboard with power adapter, it goes into safe mode and turns off. So from info I have gathered online, it looks like there is a short circuit on the motherboard. So can you guys help me with figuring out the issue?

                              I am new to electronics repair, so my queries could be naive but I am ready to learn.

                              So I have a multimeter and a solder with me. But I can try to get a variable voltage power supply with a thermal camera as well. From what I seen online, best way is...

                              hello everyone , working zebronics power suply 450 watts , 5v ,3.3v givin short to ground black wire, also in circuit at output, resistor was charred but shows right values , after removing resistors 39ohms, 51 ohms, there was no short , no continuity beeps with ground , but after replacing new resistors (now i am not switching it on) ,again short still exists . when i put bigger ohm resistor like 100k ohm , no short beeping sound comes , lower ohm resistor gives continuity beeps ,other big ones donest , as its a working psu , i am confused what to remove now or how to go further now .
