    Westinghouse SK-32H540S

    HI, since people here are stumped on my Haier question I will ask about my Westinghouse SK-32H540S. I received this tv dead as in no power light or sound or anything. The person before me attempted a fix and seen the center transformer on the board was burnt and so was the board so that was replaced. So far I have pulled out the 3 big transformers and compared readings to each other and they seem very close. I also pulled the electrolytic capacitors out and checked them with my Atlas ESR70 and all passed (none looked bulged either) I pulled out the mosfets and checked those also and were ok except for the 2 I have circled in the pic which looks to have diodes as part of one leg and I'm uncertain on how to check them. I also tested the large resistors and diodes on top and seem ok. Next I looked at the solder connections under lighted magnification and touched up anything that looked remotely like something. So after all that I'm stuck.

      Hi,
      Just throwing some questions here
      All fuses are ok?
      Does voltage reaches the rectifier bridge/main filter caps?
      Is voltage present at the 5 V standby driver IC?
      Any standby voltage output?
      Does the maind board sends the PS_On ?

          Sorry forgot to mention Yes, power through the fuse and on the low side I have all the correct voltages coming out as printed next to the connector 5v 12v etc...

              Well, if all voltages are correct (5V, 5Vs and 12V), then regardless of any problem on the inverter side, you should have some activity on the LED (standby light, blinking).
              Is there any voltage on the BL_On pin ?
              In this case verify also the voltages on the main board regulators.

                  Re: Westinghouse SK-32H540S

                  Might be on to something, no voltage at BL_ON pin. Not sure how to check voltage on mainboard regulators.

                      Well, best if you see it yourself (than a long description)
                      Search Youtube for main board voltage regulator test, or:
                      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNFzBJELFoU

                          Do I even need to check the main board now that there is no BL_ON voltage?

                              BL_on IS coming from the main board ! (it is the Backlight On command/voltage, so the inverter can start)!

                                  Ok will watch video and get back after testing. Here also is a pic of the main board.

                                          Ok, I think I did this correct. Here is a pic with the voltages and where I got them. Also read those threads before posting the first time.

                                              This is another story :P

                                              IC206 is ok, 5V on it's output as it should;
                                              Q201 is probably a transistor, not a voltage reg;
                                              What voltage is on middle pin IC202 (should be 3,3V)?
                                              Deafinetly a problem on IC712 (what is the marking on it?) - has input, but no output!!
                                              Question mark on IC711, but i see no input voltage on pin 3 (what is the marking on it?)?

                                                  3.28v on the middle leg.
                                                  and on IC712 I double checked volt and what I have is correct. On the chip is J355 and under it is 1117-33
                                                  The marking on IC711 is K051 and under that is 1117-18

                                                      Right, 3,28V it is correct!
                                                      IC712 is also a 3.3V regulator, and 99% faulty!
                                                      IC711 is a 1.8V regulator, and I belive that it's taking the 3.3V from IC712 as input (but since IC711 has a problem the voltage never reaches the input) so it might be ok.
                                                      Next step would be to replace the IC7111, 3.3V regulator and post the results !

                                                      All the best

                                                                                  I have a linear variable power supply with unknown brand name that I used for voltage injection.
                                                                                  Then it failed. I discovered that its transistors (Q1 and Q2) are shorted.
                                                                                  In addition, I discovered that its zener diodes are defective.
                                                                                  I can replace the burned transistors.
                                                                                  But I do not know the model of the zener diodes. the model number is not marked on the zener diodes.
                                                                                  Therefore, I cannot replace the zener diodes.
                                                                                  I do not want to test the zener diodes in a test circuit to discover their model or value.

As the title says, I was doing a port replacement on a Lenovo Thinkpad T480s and in the process of post-solder cleaning, I somehow knocked off 2 or 3 diodes (i think they are diodes) near the main usb-c. I can't seem to find what kind of a diode is that. I know it's ultra tiny and just has a letter "G" on it. Would someone maybe have a proper schematic for the t480s model? I can only find the non-s one and it's quite different to the "s". Would love to figure out what component that is.
                                                                                  Thanks in advance!...

I have a samsung 22" tv monitor to fix. power supply model bn44-00505A. some stuff blown up on the primary, according to research something typical on this model. secondary seems ok. writings on the board say in outputs a5v (standby), b5v (switched) both on the lower 3 diodes on the picture, vamp and b13v (12.8v, both are the linked at the connector that goes to the main board) my question is, are both the upper diodes for 13v? I believe so but wanted to make sure before injecting voltage there to test. I injected 5v on the lower side and standby circuit is working fine
