The Diodes arrived this morning and I have just fitted them both and the screen has now come back to life and works perfectly. I believe it's a common-ish fault on some MSI monitors from what people are saying on YouTube etc.

I've got 25 on the way and I have de-soldered them both ready to be replaced by two shiny new ones!...

Yes. One measures correctly and one measures short circuit. I believe they are in parallel together which is why in-circuit they both measure short-circuit.

...

I think I've worked it out, the letters at the end appear to be how they are packaged either individually or on a roll I think so as I'm only ordering a few and not thousands to put in a machine that really doesn't matter. The only other thing I can see different on the datasheets is the operating temperature is either 150 or 170 (or something like that) so doing a bit of digging around (and asking AI Co-Pilot) I believe the operating temperature of the ones I have is 150 so I have ordered some of those ones so we shall see how we go!...

I've had a look on RS Components and there are 6 variations that they sell, do I need a specific one or will the cheapest ones do?

Thanks!

I have an MSI 3PA1 monitor on my bench that wont power on. I have tested the 2 (what I believe to be Schottky Diodes) and both are shorted in both directions (a common faulty from what I can see on Google) but I'm not certain what the markings on the Diodes mean so I need some help in identifying which ones to order from Mouser please?





I've done a search for 101C 5100C and all I can find are datasheets for 5100C which say they are 20-100V 5A Schottky Diodes but I'm not 100% sure if this is correct or not and what significance the 101C is.

Just wanted to say a quick thanks (as I appear to have forgotten to do so). I ordered a dozen and have repaired 2 or 3 laptops with them since, so saved money we don't have (I work in the IT department for a group of Schools/Academies where every penny counts)!...

I've literally just received in the post a UNI-T UTi260B (it's currently on charge).

After quickly scanning the user manual I see there are all sorts of configurable settings (Measurement settings, Palette settings, Point temperature settings and Image Mode). As this is my first Thermal Imaging Camera I have no idea what all these settings are nor if I need to change/configure any of them.

I intend/hope to use this to help me diagnose issues with laptop motherboards so should I just leave the settings as the default or is there someone out there with a UNI-T thermal...

I work in UK School so buying things from the likes of eBay is not allowed as it's in our internal financial regulations that we can't purchase things from there.

I've had a few USB-C ports that were damaged (2 were completely ripped off the motherboards) due to misuse from the 'little rascals' in our Schools. Fortunately I have some Spares and Repairs laptops that they had damaged/broken in other ways that I could salvage the ports from.

I was chatting with someone at Mouser and between us we were unable to find a correct replacement. I'm guessing they're not a generic...
