    General Transformer Question

    Is there anything in transformers that can ooze out when bad like a capacitor does or is the stuff im seeing on mine probably just a glue.. I will see if I have a pic and post it if i do.

    Here is a pic it is the little blob of stuff you can see on the top of the transformer next to the heat sink in the top of the pic

      Too blurry to tell what it is.

            I was just curious. I think it is just glue, but I saw it as I was replacing some caps that were bulging and thought I would ask. I am now replacing 4 more caps on the sub board that are the same size and type as the two bulging caps. I think once I have that done the power on problem should be fixed. I will update as I learn more.

              Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2
              by acedogblast
              This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

              There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

              general question when a mosfet on primary of transformer is burned
              by Wolf1977
              hi
              in a welding machine i had a mosfet and four components wich connect with it burned
              i ordered all the damaged components and replace it but when i put the device on the plug all the components burned again i had tested before and i had not shunts
              i dont understand whats happen wrong
              more particular on the schematic q11p01 mosfet q11p02 tranzistor
              three paralel resistors had burned q11p07 zener shunt q11p08 open
              when i changed all these shunts q11po7 mosfet and tranzistors
              maby the transformer has problem on your opinion or something on...

              3PHASE STEP-DOWN Transformer in Check
              by dennis_elx33
              Hello All,

              i would like to post an interesting topic regarding 3-phase stepdown transformer which we suspect to cause an overcurrent (138A) which resulted to power tripped off of the HV power supply (80KV output).


              Problem statement: Power tripped Off

              Initial Problem: Found 2 IGBT and 2 rectifier diodes shorted (burnt).

              Action Done:
              1) Replaced the faulty parts with good spare.
              2) Measured impedance of the 3phase input lines and found that L2 to L3 has 23.3ohm while other pairs are 51Kohm. This pins will...
