    It doesn't turn on in the first place tom it wont because the circuit for the rest of the bulbs wont be fully complete as it wont be going back into the booster there for it wont fire on.

      The boost will turn on first and then the error will kick in when the Boosted Voltage is too high due to open circuit (open LED) otherwise how would the detection circuit knows that you have bad LED without applying enough Voltage high enough to run on the LED and see if there is current draw or too much current draw before shutting down the circuit?
      It functions the same for CCFL inverter circuit, the shutdown circuit will kick in if the it does not detect the CCFL (OPEN HIGH Voltage due to no load), the inverter will try to fire up the lamp with >2KV first then the the dection circuit kicks in if there is error.

        Ok I guess that either my multimeter is too slow to pick that sudden charge up when it first fires thats why I need a scope but just saving the money to get one when I do dare say wont be long before I get another one of these craps in and I will check and see if the booster starts or not.

          Typical protection of LED driver circuit.
          OB3350 protection:
          OVP Protection:
          OB3350 shuts down the output if the output voltage is higher than the predetermined threshold level. In case of LED failing, the current of LED and the resulted voltage drop on sensing resistor is nearly zero; the converter will run at maximum duty cycle that boosts the output voltage to a very high level. To prevent this happen, the output voltage is monitored through Pin OVP and converter is shut down if the output voltage exceeds the predetermined level. This protection is latched and OB3350 can be reset from VIN or PWM.

          VOUT SHORT Protection:
          VOUT short condition is monitored by the voltage at pins OVP.
          During normal operation, when the voltage at OVP pin drops below a threshold of approximately 0.2V, the VOUT-short protection function is activated and the GATE is turned off.
          This state is latched and can be reset from VIN or PWM.

          Thermal Shutdown:
          The OB3350 includes a thermal protection circuit.
          When the junction temperature exceeds 160°C
          (typical), the controller and current sources shut down and do not restart until the junction temperature drops below 140°C (typical).

              LG 47LB5DF blown power supply board
              by cmlewis89
              Hi folks,

              I'm new to this forum. So my trusty 17-year-old LG 47" LCD recently died. As I was booting it up, I heard a hum followed by a loud bang, sounds of pieces flying around, and loss of power to the unit. Inspecting the PSU, I saw two obvious problems: a blown thermistor (bang + flung pieces) and a visibly bulging main cap. Inspecting as many components as I could with my Fluke MM, I diagnosed that the following components on the "hot side" of the board were also bad: one of the 2 main MOSFETs, main 8A fuse, small cap (25V 47uF) connected to main caps, and a blown...

              HP X360 convertible battery blown fuse error, not charging
              by drscoot
              HP Modelnumber: 14-dh0061nb​
              This laptop had a shorted cap on a Vcore section. After replacement is works again. But there is still a battery issue.
              The battery is HT03XL and with the built-in component test from HP, in the Power section, I get an error: Logic State: Calibration required (20), Charge state: Blown Fuse (42)
              I have another same battery, also with error: Logic State: Very Weak (70), Charge state: Blown Fuse (42)
              And a third battery TF03XL (looks identical) with error: Logic State: OK (0), Charge state: Blown Fuse (42)
              All these 3 batteries are charging...

              Part selection for possible blown inductor on ASUS GX531-GW-AB76 laptop mobo
              by swerg
              Hey everyone,

              I'm a novice trying to repair my laptop. The LCD screen has an image, but no LED backlight for the image. It also produces an image when connected to an external monitor.
              I have found what I believe to be a blown inductor labeled "L4502" and "120 Ohm" in the schematics (zoomed in image, blue arrow to blown component). I have included an image of the general area of the mobo and an excerpt from the schematics as well.
              I am having trouble selecting a replacement component, which I believe to be a 120 Ohm ferrite bead, from the components...

              Blown fuses on Gigabyte GTX 980TI 6GB
              by MrzPdlch
              Hey everyone,

              I just went ahead and unscrewed a faulty GTX 980 TI from Gigabyte. What I found beneath the cooler was, as it seems, a common issue of that card. Two blown fuses on the bottom right corner of the card next to a MOSFET.
              Now my question would be if there is any schematics of that card available to figure out which are the blown components so I can try and replace them together with the mosfet if needed.

              Find some pictures of the actual GPU together with a picture of how it should look like.
              I also wonder whther it might be a problem that there...

              Samsung BN44-00262A H37F1-9SS power supply help finding blown value components!
              by cheeky2
              This Samsung combined power supply and inverter was replaced a while ago from a Samsung 37inch LE37B530P7W TV. However I would like to repair this one.
              I have replaced the Mosfets Q1820 and Q1821 ( FDPF7N50U) which were both blown and the fuse FM802S. The schematic for this power supply that is attached doesn't relate to this power supply as the driving transistors and diodes are D1830, D1831, D1832, D1833, Q1811 & Q1810 are nowhere on the schematic!
              Does anyone know what the components for D1830, D1831, D1832, D1833, Q1811 & Q1810 should be? I ask as I did change the Mosfets...
