I still run a few service call for my older customers. this zenith console TV went out during a thunder storm (power supply diodes and a switch mode ic) Might be the last time I use this test jig... thought i would share how we used to do it "back in the day"

Very nice, much respect for what you guys went did back in the day! -
Re: Vintage zenith Console chassis on test jig
i could imagine that getting zapped by a flyback would feel like getting zapped by a backlight inverter but worse.Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

Excuse me while i do something dangerous
You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.
Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

Re: Vintage zenith Console chassis on test jig
I've been zapped by enough of them to tell you that a CFL inverter is nothing in comparison. When I saw 'vintage zenith' chassis, I was thinking the old 'tilt-back' chassis with the big HV tripler....now those bad boys would let you know who's boss!! ...especially when one was cracked, and you didn't know it....and would arc to your arm when you reached around it<--- Badcaps.net Founder

I have power adaptor(220V/input, 12V 1.2A/output) which has symptom of fluctuating output DC voltage between 11.5V-12.2V.
So I opened its plastic case and when switched it on, I heard constant tik tik sound from inside its PCB.
I measured DC voltage between negative and positive pin of the largest capacitor(400v 10uf) and it was measured contant 300V.
I also measured ESR value of all capacitors and I noticed that one of capacitor(KMG 16v 470uf), which located in the secondary side, have high ESR value(10 ohm),So I replaced it with same specification NXH capacitor.... -

I have a big problem and that is that in some cases when repairing active pfc power supplies I cannot work with a test lamp. I can only get help with 5 volts standby and for starting and starting I have to work without a lamp and this way there is a possibility of parts exploding and other parts being added.
Sometimes with a multimeter test the problems can be reduced to some extent, but I had several cases that had to be tested on and online and recently two varistors exploded. They had terrible resistance because the power supplies were over 800 watts.
Is there a way... -
by chronic519Hello.
GPU came in, green lines. Spent lots of time using to get the Mats / mods drive working (found on youtube).
Found issue with a RAM block
Replaced, green lines gone.
Trying to test again, assuming getting the false positive. Originally had over 1K on a single bank. Now getting tosses low between banks.
Used a good card to test and same results low errors 32+.
I am just search for some form of command to do a full test on the GPU.
I just ran the mats command with my good GPU and passed after roughly 40 min.
The repaired one, ran... - Loading...
