Steps to diagnose and repair switching power supplies

[@gaborpapa1515]

Excellent video Sorin! We need more from switching power supply repairing.

[@bighairynuts4u]

Agreed

[@TheFoCuSeDi]

I had this exact same problem on three monitors, Just fixed two monitors after watching this video. Thank you so much!

[@rayofcreation3996]

STYLO great job. Good luck to you. 👍😊

[@firstmkb]

Just wanted to say how much I’m enjoying these, and am now inspired to dig into my collection of “someday” repair projects. Thanks!

[@juanchizabaleta2405]

Welcome to your workshop, teacher, very good class and we miss you so much. Greetings from South America, Argentina

[@Dr.muthanna]

Thank you Sorin for the huge amounts of information about the switching power supply and a photocoupler Which previously don’t know about it how its works Big thumbs up

[@taltechchip5827]

You make the best repair video's. It's almost like a meditation. Sipping some smoke an calm down to get deeper in touch with the fault. Then you Find it and Fix it like a guru. I'm loving it!

[@rayofcreation3996]

Taltech chip you said it right. Yes its like meditation. You feel so calm, introspective, alert and I'm the end you feel exuberant with joy and feel so positive. I've even told Sorin and my friends that you watch one of his videos first thing in the morning and you feel great to take on the day right? That's why I suggested Sorin not to edit his videos and I'm sure he won't do that. Good luck to you and yours, from India. 👍😊

[@motilevi669]

Well done ! You have given a proper way to diagnose and examine the power supplier, In this case of Voltage instability at the output. Thank you

[@williamlogan4049]

Nice to see you back Sorin. Hope you and yours enjoyed your Holidays and you are refreshed enough for a HARD job many thanks

[@zngdrive]

Inca un video reusit si apreciez faptul ca este facut cap coada fara editari asa cum se intampla de obicei in diagnosticarea si reparatia unui device. Poate faci un video strict cu modul de functionare al surselor tv pe partea de invertoare backlight. Felicitari pentru munca depusa.

[@MrRvdbeek]

Thank you Sorin. I learned a lot how to diagnose the problem. On a basic switching power supply. Thank you for the time.

[@aragaoclaudio]

I had this oscilating problem once and it was exactly the opto coupler thing too! Good job! Thanks for the video.

[@AttilaTheHun333333]

This makes me a bit more confident to fix the power supply of my B&W Zeppelin Air. Thank You, learned a lot.

[@sergeaudenaert]

As we speak, I am repairing a zeppelin air - all the electrolytes were dead... and 4 diodes - unfortunately I cannot put hands on a schematic, so it will still be a challenge...

[@paulodagraca3469]

Sorin, thanks for this video. Have been doing repairs on PSU for many years, most of them easy, some hard to find the real problem as things interact. Your way of thinking and explaining on the secondary feed-back to the primary was great ! I have never been thinking about testing the cut-off voltage level, like you have tested the 12 volt on the opto directly, fantastic. Please keep up the great work and try to enjoy yourself whilst making the videos, like we do watching them :-)

[@rayofcreation3996]

Paulo da Graca well said. Thank you. Good luck.

The first time i see someone ho knows whta he is doing , the great explanation , thank you Man

[@axellno1759]

Good knowledge! Always interesting to watch the troubleshooting part.

[@bryanleon1436]

Thanks for the detail explanation along with the capacitors discharge or shorted to ground. Your oscilloscope detailing is really impressive. Thanks for the teaching and sharing. Gain a lot

Nice fix. Great lesson. Nice feeling to have a win. :)

[@xen00x]

Perfect explanations! Thx Sorin!

[@octavmandru9219]

Multumesc! I previously fixed a cheap SMPS just for the sake of it, since the parts cost me more than the PS. However I did't know the trick to check the low side regulation. Salutari din Galati!

[@emvdl]

Hope you a great holiday! Really great video, I like these shop workflows scenes, nice to watch and learned a lot. Good job!

[@paulstyring1015]

[@charlie8542]

Thanks for that video. Learned a lot

[@DumahBrazorf]

This is good info. I probably trashed/destroyed some boards in the past because of this, or because of the tl431.

[@electronic7979]

Helpful video 👍

[@index6738]

Opto coupler feed back from secondary power which feeds back secondary output voltage to the switching drive IC in primary drive. Drive IC sends pulse width switching pulses to FET which in turn drives primary side transformer . Typical switch mode power supply feedback loop. Your correct. Primary needs to know what secondary voltage is.

[@dr-gaberibrahim5268]

Excellent job

[@shooter3267]

Superb fault finding!

[@sidahmedikhelef8748]

Thanks Sorin? great video as usual.

[@alexandrefajardo]

Simply great!

[@CliveTrezona]

Thanks Sorin. Please can you go into more detail on how the TL431 works. What actually sets the voltage reference?

[@abdallahelectronic19]

thank you ,i have a problem with this ic tea 1716 in led tv power supply NO POWER, her problem is that it was exposed to high voltage, and I found the main capacitors swollen, I replaced them, but the IC heats up greatly, but it is fine because I removed it and tried it in another card and it worked fine. Where is the problem? Is it in the components surrounding the ic tea 1716? but which pins of ic responsable for overvoltge or which components must be change smd capacitors and resestors or all them.

[@jalal76]

good analysis ...... thanks

[@rtype4930]

Welcome back !!! Next time say " I ll be back " ;)

[@amtpdb1]

It would be nice if you would do some trouble shooting and repair of cheap video cards off something like ebay so that some of us can learn the correct process. I have tried removing items and checking them, injecting current and voltage without any luck. There are people doing this on expensive cards that look nothing like the cheap cards and they move so fast and with the camera back so far that you cannot see what or were they are checking things. Thanks for your time. Stay safe.

[@thulinp]

Nice find of an uncommon fault, with explanation

[@ziggy_makes_videos]

Wow very nice troubleshooting boss...but can we test the opto coupler using a multi tester???

[@Daveyk021]

Good job! Did you miss a screw on the PCB to chassis frame?

[@mrclowniuk]

I need some advice have got a laptop Asus S500C and video signal is gone both on hdmi and the screen. Any idea how to fix it?

N1 very interesting all time.. Thx

[@roseaxel4]

Excellent!

[@gordthor5351]

You can't necessarily tell if the capacitors are fine just by looking at them. At least half of the bad capacitors I have found with an ESR meter, looked perfectly fine, but they were causing the units not to power on. I can't believe that you don't have an ESR meter. The "Blue ESR tester" is a great meter because it gives accurate and consistent readings instantly. The very cheap ESR meters can take a very long time to get a reading.

[@neelbanerjee3086]

thank you so much sir

[@AlecsFira1]

domnule Sorin, va rog o parere: am un tv BUSH dled 49 inch. functineaza normal timp de 10-15 minute apoi ramane fara backlight (dispare lumina la display ,tv-ul ramanand in functionare cu sunet si toate comenzile); Daca il reconectez are acelasi simpton (10-15 minute ..). Condesatorii arata bine, nimic ''puscat'' pe sursa. Am sculele necesare sa pot schimba piese (pistol de lipit, sacaz kalafonia, cositor zacro 0.6 mm,desordering wich,,,)si un pic de cunostinte ca si amator. Locuiesc in Dagenham si nu am masina proprie sa vin la dumneavoastra la shoop cu tv-ul. Multumesc !
