Re: visio vx37l resistor indentity help

I asked about how you test the IC in post 36, and you reply "LOL oops i already tested it. nothing blew up." in post 37.
Bottom line: replace the IC beside the MOSFETs +any damaged Gate drive network.

I shouldn't have used the word tested.
I just meant I turned it on and nothing blew up.
All I really know about the IC is that I have 10.66V on pin 12(Vs) I think that's above the threshold to turn it on.
I didn't have the schematic when I was poking around.

So ill should pull the mosfets to Test them and see if I need some or not right?

Welp, The one mosfet is bad. doesn't turn on. the other I was able to turn off and on.
Will order:
x2 .22ohm resistor
x1 4.7ohm smc resistor
x1 IC L6598
x1 MOSFET (STP12NM50FP)

Will report back when installed and tested

I would replace both MOSFETs since they work together.

Re: visio vx37l resistor indentity help

UGH I'm pissed I got all the parts and installed everything. when I got to the IC it turned out I ordered the 16-DIP and not the surface mount. gerr

Should have just bought the board for 35$

Re: visio vx37l resistor indentity help

well finally had time to get the part and replace the 16pin IC.
and guess what it works!
Feels good.

thank you everyone for your assistance

Thanks for the follow-up on the repair.
