Re: Repairing Alesis M1 Active mk2 Monitor Speakers

Pretty much enough time has passed now that there should not be any charge in your gate left since your last test, so just check it with the ohm meter now like you did before.
But leaving the gate...

Re: Repairing Alesis M1 Active mk2 Monitor Speakers

Wow, I must say everything seems to work really well!
Just one thing: with the MOSFETs now out of circuit redoing the test do you have infinite resistance if you ground the gate?

You could do the...

Re: Repairing Alesis M1 Active mk2 Monitor Speakers

Not really, you could take some measurements, for example ohm out VCC pin 7 to GND pin 5 and then compare to your working unit.
In fact you could ohm out all pins in relation to ground and compare...

This could be pointing in the direction that the UC3844N is what is bad, I'm really not sure though...

Re: Windows 2016 server L2TP/IPsec VPN - two subnets

Thanks for coming back, just out of curiosity did you figure out exactly why it happens?
It does on my workstation laptop, occasionally it will get a wrong IPv6 DNS server entry.

Re: Repairing Alesis M1 Active mk2 Monitor Speakers

Q3/Q4 results: Their bases are connected together, so equal results are expected.
Q6 results: This transistor has a 100ohm resistor (RT2) between base and emitter so this result could be normal....

Re: Repairing Alesis M1 Active mk2 Monitor Speakers

Ok, it sounds like your analog meter sources enough voltage to actually turn on the diode then from those readings, so it can be assumed to be correct.
Good that you tested the diodes with the light...

Re: ATX PSU SL-500 Short circuit can't find where? Transformer?

Ok, in these readings you no longer are close to a dead short on the primary winding so something in your testing must have changed?
For another example here is a new transformer I bought by mistake...

Re: laptop vs desktop rust spinner longevity

Not a study per se, more of anecdotal evidence:
But in industrial machines I service the Siemens PCU50 HMI PC is very popular.
It does feature a 2.5" HDD in a nice "free hanging" HDD cage.

Re: Repairing Alesis M1 Active mk2 Monitor Speakers

Yes, most likely your R3 & R4 resistors where rated at 38K when new (orange, grey, orange, gold)
looking back through the thread I found many others report the same value.
I'll refer back to what I...

Re: Acer X223HQ (Version Bbd) on/off-power-cycling

Re: Repairing Alesis M1 Active mk2 Monitor Speakers

No, don't mix up C6/C7 with C8.
When I asked you to measure across C6 & C7 this is because this is the mains input, your mains voltage is 115VAC between live and neutral.
Note how there is a jumper...

Re: Repairing Alesis M1 Active mk2 Monitor Speakers

The blue LED has a direct connection to the power board and has nothing to do with the actual board the connector is on.
So if it is flashing it probably means the UC3844N is shutting down because...

Re: Dell P1110 21" CRT repair thread

On PDF page 7 you have the mains input on the left.

Since it blows as you plug it in I expect a really low...

Re: Klipsch computer subwoofer speakers hissing buzzing. Does this look like bad cap?

Usually linear supplies are not sensitive to low ESR, only one way to find out :)

Re: Klipsch computer subwoofer speakers hissing buzzing. Does this look like bad cap?

Capacitors rated for 85°C are always "general purpose" capacitors (a capacitor grade).
You should not replace them with low ESR capacitors because the circuit might not be designed to handle that....
