    Re: GA-8S655FX with very hot FET

    Could you tell if USB ports, Video, Sound, LAN were working?
    That's the point of it.
    It's a EASY QUICK way to tell if you have a hardware or windows problem.

    It's open source.
    If you want an advance testing package you can make one.

      Re: GA-8S655FX with very hot FET

      I found yesterday that a friend have the same board. He is having problems but finally found it was couse a bad memory module.
      I told him to check the fet that gets so hot and also measure the voltage in the pins.
      He told me the FET doesnt get hot and the voltages are the same as the ones I got.
      D - 3.32v
      S - 1.90v
      G - 6.30v

      For my understand this indicates that the FET is working fine and there is someting in the FET output that is consuming too much. It could be the southbridge. I need to discard its not something out the southbridge.
      any ideas ?
      can be the FET ?

        hot FET can also mean bad regulator controller IC pumping bad signal to FET. I had dell D600 fry a totem-pole FET IC (blow a crater) every time I swap it, fix was replace both regulator controller IC and this FET IC. Now I have a working D600.

          If the MOSFET is regulating the controller should be OK. Two prospects

          1. Southbridge load too heavy or anything else loading up the circuit.
          2. Possible oscillation in MOSFET regulator circuit. Least likely.

            This is what I think too.

            You need to find a diagram/schematic of chipset and explore inputs/outputs.
            I don't know where you'd find one for SIS.

              I found the datasheet for the SiS 960 but nothing on the SiS 964 or the complete chipset SiS 655 Fx

                SAMSUNG UN55KS9000F picture fades then distorts into vertical lines after 20 seconds
                by JJAAMM
                This was my main TV for the last 6 years. I'm not inclined to throw out a $2600 TV so quickly so I'm trying to investigate the issue.

                Problem
                TV was disconnected from power for 6 months during construction. When I plugged it yesterday picture was fine, after 30 seconds it dimmed then started developing horizontal lines, picture then starts to ghost vertically until it degrades into vertical streaks. TV always displays a perfect picture when cold. I can unplug TV for 5 minutes and plug it back in and picture is restored for 20 seconds. I can also keep it in standby mode...

                Samsung TV model UE50TU: rebooting, backlight, sound, but no picture
                by TR103
                Hi, I have a Samsung UE50TU with:
                - sound and backlight, but no picture
                - when it arrived, it had a picture for a few seconds
                - it keeps rebooting
                - without ribbon cable between the two panel boards, it does not reboot but I have no picture
                - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel, it does not reboot (but obviously i have no picture)
                - when i try a tape fix, its keeps rebooting, unless I tape off pin 1 (the innermost pin). In that case it does not reboot but I have no picture.

                - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel and with a jumpered...

                Issue with picture quality of Sony bravia TV
                by CyberPhoenix
                Hello, Last week I bought the 50" Sony X80j tv everything was working fine, untill I plugged the tv in a ups power supply 650va the tv remote control became unresponsive and the TV became laggy after a while the picture quality isn't the same as before the tv seems less brighter and the picture is somehow blurry, people's faces don't look as natural as before, there is a mini orange-pink tint to the edge of people's faces especially in NETFLIX Dolby Vision like in One Piece ep1 Alvida skin tone, my intention was to protect the tv but something went wrong I checked the ups with a multimeter,...

                Samsung QN75Q6DRA, No Picture, Has BL, and Sound
                by Dodgethis
                Hello all,

                This is my first post, but long term lurker on the form learning as much as possible about these TV's. I was given this TV as due to a power outage of constant On/off of power to TV. The TV originally would just click on and off (Typical Reboot Cycle). I opened the back of the TV, and troubleshooted by taking the 96 pin LVDS off one at a time to see if I had a picture on either side. I finally fixed the reboot cycle by finding the error on the left side of the screen off connector CN 1301, and the TV would stay on. Further troubleshooting led me to the driver boards where...

                Samsung UE50TU8000K no picture or lanes on it
                by Dobsuk
                Hi guys, i am dealing with one Samsung 50TU8000K which was without picture - just was resetting itself constantly. Saw some videos and read some post about simmilar issue and the advise was to try to tape cut off method and started to put tape on some of the pins on this ribbon cable:


                And then i had picture but with lanes. Tried different pins and combination but could not managed to make it work without any lanes so far. Will keep playing with it though.
                The weird thing is that i tried it again without any tape on the pins and now i have picture with just few lanes...
