    Synology DS412+ no signs of life

    I bouth in eBay a faulty DS412+.
    It did show no sign of any kind of life: no fan spin, no LED turning on, no sound.
    I tried a nother power supply (this one has external power supply, 12 Vdc). Same result.
    I used a DC power supply and saw that it was ticking when I pressed the turn on button. So there was some short circuit.
    I have no thermal camera, no other way of checking themps, so I thought: why not to increase the supply voltage?
    So I did, and at 18 Vdc a capacitor exploded. That's what shows the first picture.
    Surprisingly, the unit now shows some life! The blue ON lights do come up, and after some 4-5 seconds they turn off again. Sometimes, randomly, the unit power ups itself, flashing the blue light and even spining the fans! But this last for about 5 seconds and turns off. There is a AO 4914 dual N-channel MOSFET below the blown capacitor. The capacitor is connected to two of its pins. Some centimeters away, there is a similar construction, in which the capacitor is 10 uF (I took it away and measured it).
    There are 12V in the drain, but the gate is not changing.
    I'm quite lost here, I don't know what else to check or where I can detect the problem.

    Now you'll have to trace foils to see how far into the circuit your deliberate over-voltage has damaged things.

      Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
      by Tynan Dill
      I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

      Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

      I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

      The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

      With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

      Assuming...

      Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
      by sam_sam_sam
      I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

      One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

      Trying to Save - Samsung 65" The Frame (QN65LS03B) with no signs of life (One Connect Box)
      by KYBOSH
      I picked this one up today.
      Previous owner says no signs of life.
      TV looks immaculate and its a 2022 model year so I thought maybe the one connect cable was damaged.
      Got it home and put it on the Kill-A-Watt power meter and it was completely dead.

      The TV model is QN65LS03BAFXZA - version: CB06
      The One Connect Box BN44-01066D / BN96-54788Q / BN39-02470A.

      I immediately remembered EazyBone's Samsung The Frame TV no power....One Connect thread and am preparing myself to tear the One Connect open and hunt for dead parts.

      Will keep you all...

      HP EliteBook 850 G5 without signs of life
      by tranquility
      hello, i have a problem with HP EliteBook 850 G5
      shoring no signs of life. led near charging port and on/off button are off.
      board it taking just a few mA..i think it was 10mA

      i measured some things but i don“t find anything

      the ACOK ? pin 24 FRWPG (pin 24) am ISL9538h is low with 0V
      but i dont know why

      i cant really understand what the mosfets in the pictures are doing for crazy things.
      i measuered voltage on coils....but now on mosfets near the coils too and they all had more than 10v i think one was there with 8v or something....so...

      Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
      by sam_sam_sam
      I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

      I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...
