    Winsonic 32" monitor fuse keeps blowing

    Hello- I have a 32" Winsonic monitor where I accidently grounded the power supply to the case while troubleshooting the touchscreen.

    Now the fuse keeps blowing whenever I replace it. I guess I'd like to know whether I should try to fix, or just (somehow) source a replacement PS board.

    I've taken some pictures of the board and will add these below. Any help is appreciated. I really don't want to toss it, as it's a pretty industrial looking monitor.

    Thanks-
    Chris

      You probably accidentally shorted something on the primary side of the power supply. Check bridge rectifier, fets, and any other diodes for shorts.

          HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
          by momaka
          Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

          Dell monitor PSU vs Dell laptop PSU
          by keepread
          Hi there!
          Someone gave me their old monitor, it's Dell S2715ht.
          The owner was using it when his PSU began to smell and then to smoke. It literally began to melt. He turned the monitor off, pulled the PSU, and ditched it because it was smelly even after it cooled. So I got the monitor but not the plug.
          Now, I tried to bring the monitor back to life, by plugging one of my many Dell laptop PSUs. They are of the same 19.5V, and the wattage of the laptop PSU is higher than that which the monitor is rated for. Visually, the socket on the monitor seems compatible, and the plug plugs...

          UC3842 Power Adapter Blowing Fuse
          by Dannyx
          Good day folks......wow this new layout is weird. It's like I woke up one day and I'm no longer on Planet Earth or something

          Anyway....got this here power brick from a USB to SATA adapter which keeps blowing the fuse after I almost repaired it. The reason I even bother to fix a power brick (wall wart, whatever) in the first place is because this thing was really convenient to use: I'd just plug it and that's it. It's a dual output supply, for both 12v and 5v, which although I COULD easily obtain with a DC-DC converter from a standard 12v adapter, I thought I should crack open the...

          AOC AG493UCX 49-inch monitor - Firmware request
          by wattage
          Hello Badcaps Community,

          I purchased a preowned AOC monitor that is not working and out of warranty. It was sold as not working. I am looking for guidance on self-repair. In particular, I am after the firmware for the monitor. At the end, I have included monitor model information and links to pics and vids of the issue.

          The problem is that it will not display a picture on any of its inputs. And the on-screen menu does not appear. The power button works properly. It powers on with the remote as well. But the on-screen menu does not appear, even when not connected to any...

          Samsung PD27AOQ (BN44-00506B) constantly blowing internal fuse.
          by Tips
          Looking for some assistance please.
          Trying to repair a PD27AOQ samsung power board.
          Initially had the typical problem of cm806 capacitor blown, additionally thermistor NT801s blown.
          Replaced the ceramic capacitor, str60252s, bridge rectifier, thermistor and fuse.
          Testing it the fuse blows immediately power is turned on.
          diodes dm852 and dm853 test as shorted when in the board but fine when removed.
          any assistance, guidance would be appreciated.
