    sorry for making new thread, other one didn't have make and model

    replaced the Power Board w/one working on eBay, VIZIO logo turns orange like before

    my Dad was in electronics for 30+ years and brought me 3 Multi Meters and i want to test the voltage regulators but searched extensively and still can't figure them out


    can someone please tell me how to use any one of these to measure this Main board voltage regulators

      Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
      by Tynan Dill
      I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

      Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

      I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

      The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

      With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

      Assuming...

      How To Test a P-channel Trench Mosfet Using A Multimeter In Diode Mode
      by dj8452000
      I am new to electronics and I'm understanding most of what I'm reading but I have a mosfet on my board that I've identified as a P-channel Trench Mosfet. I haven't a clue how to test this and what I should expect to see with the multimeter probes. I am hoping someone with years more experience than myself can help me understand how to use a multimeter to read this. Please look at the drawing I have attached to this and can you try to explain to me what I should be doing with my multimeter in diode mode and what results I should expect from a good mosfet?...

      How to test Subwoofer Amplifier with only a multimeter
      by jinu_j
      Hi Folks

      Need some advice on how to test a subwoofer amplifier if i have access to only a multimeter.

      Problem
      I have a Boston Acoustics active Subwoofer (soundware S). Its rated output is 200W. But the output i am getting is very low i can barely hear/feel it even if put the gain at max. I replaced all the capacitors in the Subwoofer amplifier but still no change.

      Is there anyway to test this without getting an oscilloscope/Function generator to see if the fault is with amplifier, driver or the source??

      Any advice would be appreciated...

      ASUS GU502GV not powering on - 1285A hot
      by yayayee
      Hello,

      I have a laptop that isn't turning on. When I disassemble it and plug in the power connector with the pcb by itself, I can see with a thermal camera I bought that TPS51285A is the only thing getting hot.

      So of course, the first thing I do is google the laptop model and the IC, and it just happens that I stumble upon a video by Northridgefix attempting to repair the exact same problem, only for it to catch on fire.

      I thought that maybe I'd be lucky so I bought a 1285A, that came in as a 1285B. The only difference I can see between them is that the 1285B...

      Mats / mods: detected and repaired GPU fault. Cant seem to test after!
      by chronic519
      Hello.

      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...
