    Re: Element ELCHS321 has 5vsb and red light but wont turn on

    so i was trying to measure these smt components as best i can. the o resistor checks out at 0, the 2 ceramic caps on the left check out around 14-15kohms each but the resistor labeled 105 (whats that supposed to mean?)
    and the ceramic cap directly to the left of them both read crazy high ohms that jump around or keep growing until infinite.

    can i desolder these caps and test with my ESR?
    i never messed around with these tiny smt caps before

      Clean that board up, man! Get yourself a toothbrush (preferably your wife's or girlfriends ) and some isopropyl alcohol and start scrubbing. Don't worry about the smd stuff yet.

      It looks from here like the leg of that mosfet is burnt but can't tell because of the condition of the board.

      And I thought my set was similar due to the model numbering but it's possible it's not anywhere near the same. Post a pic of the entire back of the set.

        wifes toothbrush...haha! no wonder tech's are single

        ok i cleaned it all up with the propyl

        and took another picture of the back, and the model numbers on my PSU...

        what next?

        typing "schematic" at the end of that in google didnt get me anywhere :/

          Some of those traces look suspect. Make sure there is continuity along them.

          My board was different btw.

            Re: Element ELCHS321 has 5vsb and red light but wont turn on

            yeah i checked, the traces seem fine... its the cap and resistor on the right im worried about..and i dont even know what that other thing is...

            edit: resistance on that cap and resistor on the right have gotten better with the cleaning. they seem close to what im getting on the other caps...my digital meter's battery ran out though so im only using the analog meter and im not really sure how to read the ohms. i just know the needle is going to around the same place....

              well i let it rest that night and the next night, i didn't even mess with it i was just going to put it all back together and put it on the side till i figured out something else...but after i had it back together i decided to try power it on and boom! it totally works now!
              i guess all it needed was the dead gecko cleaned off real good!

              dang another TV fixed but no lesson to learn.
              oh well! now i can sell this TV and get a Hot Air station.

                The lesson is probably that conductive and corrosive lizard residue stuck on a circuit board can cause improper operation and PCB damage.

                  true but i meant like learning how the power supply actually works...still pretty foggy on a lot of things

                    If you haven't already, learn the basics of SMPS operation - that covers a lot of things. There are many designs but they all come back to the same basic ideas.

                    Once you know the different sections, you can identify these sub-circuits on a board, and get an idea of what each bunch of parts are for, even if you don't know exactly how a specific implementation may work.

                    Reading the datasheets and appnotes for the PWM controllers can help.

                      good advice. i know i am just starting out and i have a lot to learn. just gotta invest the time. i got some more TV's to work on today so hopefully one of them will teach me something about the PSU. on a mission to save every TV i can from the landfill!

                        Macbook pro A1278 820-2936 No light/turn on
                        by Adogabriel100
                        Hey! how are you guys? i wonder if you could help me with this macbook 820-2936 that does not turn on. (Doesn't have green/orange light).

                        History:
                        this macbook came for a short on C6990 that blows D6990 and R6990 on his way. i re-placed the componets and it work again.

                        A month later comes back again and has the actual problem (no green/orange light and dont turn on)

                        The macbook can turn on with only the battery connected but in fact, dosent charge.

                        Voltajes:

                        PP3V42_G3H = 3.3v
                        PPBUS_G3H = 12.2V

                        PS5 Slim EDM-040 Only turn on 1 Sec, Blue light then immediate off.
                        by dionzarek
                        Hello everyone, I am new to this PS5 troubleshooting, I need help on diagnosing the problem. My PS5 Slim board EDM-040 that beep and only shows blue light then immediately turn off.

                        I've checked the PSU its normal 12V. I've checked all the capacitors its all good no shorts, but there are 2 caps shorted, I think its near the SSD. You can look at the image attachment.

                        When tested it only shows 0.003 while other caps show 0.4 to 1. WHen in continuity mode those 2 caps goes beep/shorted.

                        Any help to where should I check on or suggestion would be very appreciated....

                        I have a similar problem... I got an old MBP for free, but wont turn on... Only green light on charger. I measured these voltages. If i try to do an smc reset using keyboard, nothings happen, wont go out the green led. I dont know how to continue, please help me.

                        HP Omen only do not turn on, only flashes white light
                        by ruletero
                        Hi everyone

                        Please help me with this laptop

                        HP Omen 15-dc0003la , MB DAG3DBMB8D0 REV. D

                        It doesn't turn on, when I connect the charger with battery orange light appears on power jack and without battery white light appear, it is fine I think

                        But if I press power button, power led flashes white once, only that, not consumes anything power, not start, nothing more.

                        Bios was programmed with a working version, no changes.

                        Voltages

                        +3vS5 = 3v when I connect charger, next goes to 0 (I think is fine)...

                        Lenovo Y700-17ISK turn on and off
                        by pajdek
                        Hello, i have some issues with my laptop Lenovo Y700-17ISK (motherboard BY511 NM-A541), it started when i turn on the laptop, but the lcd wont turn on, i then connected it via hdmi to tv and screen was ok. So i thought maybe lcd stripe is faulty, i removed the bottom cover, disconnected main battery, reset the cmos by disconnecting battery for 1 min, then slighty move the lcd stripe. Conncted power supply and tuned on my laptop, the lcd turn on, it started to load os, then it turn off, after a second it turn on, then after like 3 seconds turn off again, and so on. Removed power supply, waited...
