    KOGAN KALEWD39SMTWA failure to launch

    Just thought I'd get a few opinions about typical causes of this fault scenario.
    These Chinese re-badged TVs have reduced the componentry down to an absolute minimum. There a small-ish SMPS, the smallest mainboard I've ever seen, and I assume tucked away somewhere but not immediately visible is a T-Con board.
    Symptoms are: Start up from cold, all OK. Switch off into Stand-by with the remote, and sometimes it won't come out of stand-by. The LED indicator goes green, but no backlights or life as such. I'm told that sometimes it will come up with sound but no image (I've not witnessed this). Also reported that sometimes will sit there for awhile in 'green LED' state, but will eventually come to life. De-power at the mains and it will re-start OK.
    It uses CapXon electros on the SMPS.
    Thoughts anyone?

    MacBook Pro late 2016 (820-00239) with multiple failure modes.
    by npielawski
    I will just preface all this by saying that I have a fairly technical background but have never attempted SMD electronics diagnostics and repair before, I really like the idea and want to learn.

    I have a MacBook Pro late 2016 that died maybe four years ago. Over the course of 30 seconds, it got slower and stuttered, until it froze for a second and died. No click from the trackpad anymore, nothing. I started getting interested in electronics repair and decided to give it a shot, so I opened it, removed the battery (one cell was puffy), took out the motherboard and experimented with...

    HISENSE 65E7KQ PRO - no boot
    by Sus256
    Hi all!

    HISENSE 65E7KQ PRO
    RSAG7.820.13512 - chassis
    MT9618BAATAB - cpu
    RSAG7.820.12059 - power
    HD650Y3U77 - panel
    KLM8G1GETF - emmc

    The TV does not turn on, the standby indicator is on. All voltages are present.
    Emms is dead. Not readable, not detected.
    Replaced emmc.
    But with another dump there is no launch

    Onkyo DX-V500 Laser Disc Player - weird SMPS fault
    by dkneyle
    This relic from a technology path that came to a dead end (but still has historical interest) was brought in with a dead SMPS, which is based around a MK1210 device. I got it going after a battle. It seems to have a strange design - if it's not getting feedback that the secondary is OK it cause the big FET to go into full conduction and overloads resulting in a blown fuse at best or something worse! I'm using a Dim Bulb Tester (70W/230V) which thankfully has saved the day a number of times whilst repairing.

    Now, it loads a CD OK. The motor voltage output (which is built onto the SMPS...

    Hi, Can we use SMPS Bench Power Supply for Laptop troubleshooting?
    by shamsudeen
    Hi all, I just need to know that, can i use SMPS type power supply to test and short circuit detection on a laptop motherboard?
    I saw 95% of repair guys are using only Linear bench power supply. linear bench power supply is pricy, thats why i planned to get one SMPS supply.

    i know that in linear power supply the noise will be very low comparing to SMPS supply....

    Dell 9310 Memory or RAM (Random-Access Memory) failure (2,4)
    by puccovelli
    Hi all, I hope this is the right place to post.

    I'm having a problem with a Dell 9310 which is posting 2 orange, 4 white lights on startup (hangs on Dell BIOS logo). The service manual says its a RAM failure.

    I've taken the motherboard out and noticed that one of what looks like an SMA 0805 resistor has blown (see photo). The board is an LA-J144P Rev 2.0(A01).

    1] Could someone confirm what the component that has blow actually is (and where I could get another from).
    2] Whether this component is likely to cause the RAM failure issue, and if replacing...
