Seasonic Prime Gold repair

Blown FETs

[@SONNYemc]

The joy I experience after each successful attempt is undescribable 😊, Also every failure (as a beginner) encourages me to learn more I'm going to start a channel to upload my work as it builds up, for memories 😅

[@electronicshaverightstolive]

Yeah, same as me.

I always enjoy your Troubleshooting Technics.

[@markmatt9174]

Like others this length try for under 20 min, give or take. Best part is troubleshooting the methodical start to finish with the WHY you are looking where you are, how the process goes. I've repaired a few Power Supplies (single voltage cheapos) where it gets bad for me was the multi-voltage power supplies. My Electronic ebgineering technical degree is almost 30 years old now & and I've done industrial maintenance for years since. Lots of old industrial robots to machines count on these multi-voltage supplies. Repair is only option in VMEs & old German equipment, replacemnt often not an option unavailable .

[@electronicshaverightstolive]

Thank you for your comment. I will try to focus more on finding the fault aspect.

[@robbo6460]

15 minutes is a good length for a video. Longer than that and we tend to get bored lol. Great video and repair.

[@electronicshaverightstolive]

Thanks!

[@ThirdPer3on]

Stay awesome. Vid length be what ever u want as long as it's interesting!

[@WilliamAshleyOnline]

its good to see electronics fixed rather than become ewaste.

[@electronicshaverightstolive]

Definitely agree with you.

[@jamesattanah9699]

You're doing great bro.

[@electronicshaverightstolive]

Thank you for your good words and happy New Year!

[@jamesattanah9699]

Happy New Year to you.

[@jct4647]

20-30 minutes is a good time

[@rafalklepinski7372]

Nice vid. A bit longer is fine if technically required. I liked "I saved somebody 2 days of work".. that's exactly it!

[@electronicshaverightstolive]

@@rafalklepinski7372 thank you!

[@rafalklepinski7372]

@@electronicshaverightstolive Welcome. Too many people don't consider that to earn that $100 to spend, they also spent $ on rent, food, fuel, bus tickets, and taxes during those 2 days exclusively to earn that $100. Repairing a $100 item probably saved that person $130 at least.

[@electronicshaverightstolive]

@@rafalklepinski7372 yeah. And one day of work equals one day of our life.

[@loopdemack]

The best duration of the video is fault finding and not skipping the fault finding parts and showing assembling and dissembling and cleaning parts. Fault finding in real time and soldering in real time other thing you can do the fast-forward, time is no essence when you show the actual fault finding which you skipped completely. Just to add one more thing you didn't tested any IC logic on the board and there were 6-7. Without them you will get the power and supply will power-up and will work but not for a long time nor stable, and there would be a problems.

[@electronicshaverightstolive]

Agree about showing fault finding and soldering. I also like to watch exactly that stuff. But I don't have digital microscope so far, so I can't create high quality microsoldering videos. Someday I will buy it. I can't agree about IC. I wonder how would you check logic IC. Gate pulses OK, I can check those with oscilloscope. Power good signal was also checked. But the rest of the details NO WAY. You will never find a repair technician who check all the ICs. It's economicly and reasonably impractical.

[@loopdemack]

@@electronicshaverightstolive Its very hard that specific model has 6 IC OPP, OVP, UVP, OCP, OTP, and SCP. In your case the one that I would check is OCP (Over Current Protection) because its job is to protect against short circuit and over current. Second one to check is the SCP (Short Circuit Protection). You need microscope, for the sake of your channel get one with IMX385 Sony Exmor.

[@fuzzs8970]

Hi. Yes i would prefer to fix things rather than throw it away.

@ 13:50 the brown stain is from cigarette smoke; the previous owner was a smoker...

[@electronicshaverightstolive]

Yeah.

[@dejanpetkovski8761]

Hi where you get your PSU Tester and how to make isolated power suply can you put an schematics? Thanks.

[@electronicshaverightstolive]

Hi. I have two testers. One is DIY second I bought at aliexpress.

[@garmcfarlin5244]

*Promosm* 😕

[@anandasri1330]

$50 for day hmm in my country (LK) $4~$6🥲🥲🥲

[@electronicshaverightstolive]

But you have other benefits: sea, cheap and high quality tea😊 $50 average salary in big cities. In small villages average is about $10. So we didn't came far from you.
