I have been trying my best to find out why my fuse is grounded to the heatsinks. I have bought the repair kits from shop jimmy and the fuse is still shorted. I will upload pics if necessary but I wanted to ask first if there was a specific component that would short to the heat sinks when it failed.

Re: Lg 50pg20 secondary fuse grounded to heat sinks
I have uploaded a top and bottom view of the psu. I have circled a few components that I think are acting strange. On the top view I have circled an IC that i replaced from the kit I bought at shopjimmy. I have circled the bottom view as well. I have drawn a line along a circuit that, if desoldered, fixes the short. Moving down the line I removed the diode that is circled and it tested fine. After I resoldered the diode, the fuse was no longer shorted. However, when I went to screw the ic to the heatsink, the short came back. This makes no sense to me, but hopefully it will to you guys. Thanks for your time and help.Attached Files -

Re: Lg 50pg20 secondary fuse grounded to heat sinks
is there a insulator pad/washer missing from the ic to heat sink?Comment

Re: Lg 50pg20 secondary fuse grounded to heat sinks
that ic appears to be a integrated fet and switching controller, did you install the entire repair kit? or just this single part? I would suspect those large transistors if your looking for a short (Q601, Q602, Q801, Q802)Liberating magic smoke one part at a timeComment

Re: Lg 50pg20 secondary fuse grounded to heat sinks
I replaced all of those transistors and several capacitors. When I removed the resistors there was some tape that held them to the heat sink. Were those the thermal pads that you are talking about? The kit didn't come with any so I just used thermal paste.Last edited by KevinCro; 05-11-2015, 06:02 PM.Comment

Re: Lg 50pg20 secondary fuse grounded to heat sinks
"When I removed the resistors there was some tape that held them to the heat sink." Can we see the picture of this resistor? It sounds to me like the insulator sheet is missing.Never stop learning

Re: Lg 50pg20 secondary fuse grounded to heat sinks
This is the front and back of two of the components that I removed. These both had the tape on the back.Attached FilesComment

Re: Lg 50pg20 secondary fuse grounded to heat sinks
They are not resistors, you need to put the insulator/thermal transfer pads back in place.
If you check the resistance between the center leg and the metal plate, it should show <1 Ohm.
I hope the power supply is not damaged.Last edited by budm; 05-11-2015, 09:33 PM.Never stop learning

Re: Lg 50pg20 secondary fuse grounded to heat sinks
I mistyped resistor. I haven't hooked it up since I replaced them. I just checked to see if the fuse was shorted. The thermal pads came apart when I removed the old transistors. You'd think the repair kit would have those with it. I guess it will be a learning experience one way or another.

Re: Lg 50pg20 secondary fuse grounded to heat sinks
They do not come with the kit because they are re-usable unless they are damaged, same for the mounting screws & nuts,Never stop learning

Hi,
solder joints on heat sinks - how much do they matter? Could poor joints on heat sink cause issues if they are not properly joining to hot ground?
I'm looking at power source module of Panasonic plasma TV and I see many of these having visually poor quality, but could they matter? In general I would guess no, but I saw a video where someone was stressing out the importance of tightening the screws when fastening the power source board specifically for the ground to be connected properly.
Thanks -
Hello, I disassembled this dead camera, and found this WTF… Two fuses soldered one above the other !
I was pretty sure nobody touched it before, but that can't be from factory. There is flux, and capacitor is probably missing.
The other weird thing : the fuses are « G » fuse : (0.75A – 8V), seems very low. The original fuse should be « O » : (32V 2,5A).
There is « O » mark beside. All fuses have the same mark letter on main board. So, I can deduce it's a « O » fuse.
And this correspond to the issus I saw : when I plug the battery, I measure the voltage dropping... -
Hi I wonder if anyone might be able to steer me in the right direction. I have this Samsung UE46ES8000 TV and it went bang during use. The main fuse on the PSU board is open. I've checked every diode/mosfet/transistor I can see and nothing appears to be short to cause the fuse to go. The DC output of the bridge rectifier is not short either. I've seen online that some of these models are known for having their PFC mosfet or other mosfets shorting and blowing the fuse but i'm not seeing that here. If anyone aware of these models having any issues to cause this? I'm reluctant to just replace the... -
Hi guys,
I'm inexperienced with electronics repairs, I've done a little bit of soldering caps and whatnot, but i have a blown fuse on this mimaki printer I got which I have bought a replacement for.
How do I remove this type of fuse (see picture)...it kinda looks like it would pull out of that bracket but it didn't come at first pull and I didn't want to brute force it incase it's soldered on there like most of the rest of the components.
Anybody know how to remove this type of fuse?
(The fuse is toward the bottom of the image labeled F2)... -
I found a project in the electronics trash yesterday. A nice Argon SA1 audio amp with some electrical issue. Took it apart and saw that the 4A250V fuse was blown so started lifting components to find the short. Eventually got to two MOSFETs (model FTA14N50C) that are shorted and when i took them out the short was gone.
Now i didn't have any replacements of the same model of course but i found a couple with pretty similar spec i thought (K10A60D & K12A50D) and put them in. Also replaced the blown fuse with a 3.5A250V one. Checked another time for short circuit and plugged it in....
