    what causes the 30f131 component failure?

    I have been reading a bit around the sc card faults and the resulting issues with the 30f131 igbt. I haven't really come across much discussion about the component failure other than the "catastrophic discussion" around fakes. But my query is more towards the original component and the results which see a number in "short condition" failure. Is this caused by "over current" or "over voltage" situations, heating or something else. Is there always a "subtending" reason for the failure or can the failure of the original component be a "sole cause" (poor component: quality / design / assembly)?

    Anyways, just curious for understanding or lack thereof.

    The screws that mount the boards in the tv come loose causing the boards to lose their grounding points. Thats it. New screws have lockwashers on them. 2011 and 2012 Panasonic plasmas have this problem. The heating and cooling plus the vibrations from the transformers turn them loose and the you hear a BANG! Tv is down untill its repaired and new style screws are used.

      But... there does appear appear to be any physical damage to the factory originals. They are just shorted. For lots of "stuff", if you lose a ground, that doesn't usually cause a component failure, operation failure (intermittent or otherwise), but loss of ground would mean reduced current. I understand that there may be issues with the grounding points but don't see how that causes the failure of the component. And if so, why doesn't it take others components (ie. capicitors, ic, resistor, etc) with them. Is it a "cascade type failure"... one 30f131 fails and others take up the load and ultimately all fail at which point the set "dies"?

        If you would lose ground completely nothing would blow up,it would just stop working. Problem here is that it only partly loses ground,hence drawing a lot more amps.The 30f131 are the hard working guys on that board and the first to get effected by this increase in amperage and it quickly goes higher then their rated value with a total internal meltdown as a result.
        One will die first,and they work in parallel so it's partner will try to do one more cycle but get's dead shorted by the first guy.

          OK... I can understand that kind of fail mode. I guess another question would be outside of the "mechanical fixes" that take into account the "bolting", is there other techniques such as providing alternative ground paths to key points using wiring or strapping to help ensure better grounding?

            You could but if you clean up all screw contacts on the board(both sides) and use proper screws then it will never happen again.

              Carrier HK50AA063 display controller common failure help
              by ctroxtell
              I've got a control display for a Carrier chiller that I'm trying to understand what the common failure with these boards are. This is the board in question https://www.supplyhouse.com/Carrier-...arquee-Display all of them seem to develop a failure with the up and down arrow buttons on the right side of the display, the esc and enter keys I've never seen fail. Once these boards are plugged in they run 24/7, you used to have to press extremely hard with the end of the blunt screwdriver and you could still get the arrows to work but now it has completely stopped working. The button...

              Vizio E55-F1 dark backlight zones. LED failure or Dimming Zone Driver?
              by howardc64
              Problem

              Fixing a dimming zone TV with LEDs not lighting up. Dimming zone circuit introduces added variable to diagnose LED and/or Dimming Zone Driver board? Some 1/2 rows of LEDs appears to be out in active dimming zone off AND some brightness flickering with active dimming zone high while playing changing video



              Model & Board Pics



              Conflicting Spec

              Vizio indicate this TV has 10 dimming zones. However, LED strips and Zoned light driver connector suggest 12

              Mitsubishi CNC switching power supply board dead / relay board bad diode failure
              by sam_sam_sam
              I was working on this CNC machine today found no keyboard functioning no control relay powering on
              The screen powered on and was giving an operation error but the manual was not very clear about what the error exactly was but with a little bit of troubleshooting and finding out that the control relays not powering on and no keyboard functions we narrowed down to this one switching power supply which of course does not have any indicator LED light they are on the keyboard interface/relay controller board

              Found shorted diodes on main controller relays there are 3 of them that...

              Asus a15 FA507RE-A15.R73050T failure
              by freakaftr8
              So this laptop seems to have some kind of failure. I bought it second hand and originally the previous owner said that they went to turn it on and it was presented with a quick flash of the power light the keyboard lit up and then the keyboard shut off and the power light went off as well but the battery indicator was white and after about 5 to 7 Seconds flashes orange really quick then shuts off and goes back to White. If the power button is pressed again the keyboard lights up really quick and then repeats. When I got it I could press the power button multiple times the keyboard light would...
