    ZMI usb-c power adapter - wrong mosfet?

    Hi all,

    The pictured ZMI ac-dc power adapter stopped working a little while ago. Using my multimeter I could see that there was DC voltage being produced, but it cycling between 0v and 1v.
    I suspected it was the TK11A65D (datasheet) mosfet acting up and ordered a similar TK15A50D (datasheet)

    I've now installed the TK15A50D and the cycling has stopped, but it's only outputting 3.9v rather than 5v.
    I'm guessing the problem is that the TK15A50D is not a suitable replacement, but what parameter/characteristic did I miss that could be causing lower output voltage?
    Shouldn't the driver (FAN602) know that the voltage is low and adjust the pwm accordingly?

    I'm a noob so apologies for the noob question.

    The mosfet was likely ok, but I do suspect the fan602, vcc to be low, likely due to a bad Cvdd Capacitor (see datasheet)

      How do you test MOSFET in laptops ?
      by Jane
      I tried to use this method:

      Testing an N-channel MOSFET:

      Step 1: Discharge the Gate (turn off the MOSFET)
      Place the black probe (COM) on the Source (S) and the red probe on the Drain (D). The multimeter should show no continuity (high resistance or "OL" – open line).
      Then, touch the black probe to the Source (S) and the red probe to the Gate (G). This discharges any stored charge in the Gate, turning the MOSFET off.

      Step 2: Charge the Gate (turn on the MOSFET)
      Now, place the red probe on the Gate (G) and the black probe on the

      VGA MOSfet permanently shorted and loss of MOSfet pad
      by Nooy
      Hello everyone, I recently found this badcaps site and super Learn Electronics Repair youtube channel. And I wanted to learn how to troubleshoot power supplies and VGA cards and how to practice soldering, since I already have a properly defective piece of them. I am currently trying to solve two problems:

      I have a Gigabyte GV-RX460WF2OC-4GD type card. I managed to find the faulty MOSfet (AON6414A) on it, which I replaced. The card starts up, but after about half a minute, the MOSfet in the same position will be shorted again. Is it possible that the PWM controller driving the MOSfet...

      Asus X712EA 3 volts after the first mosfet
      by AppleLover123
      Hey guys,

      i have a asus motherboard here and as the title says after the first mosfet (in the picture) there is nothing more than 3.15v.
      I injected 19v and max. 1 amp at the charging port and there is not voltage drop or smth. It's just taking 19v and 1 milliamp.
      Then i tried to inject 19v and max 1amp after the current sensor and there it first takes 19v and 4 milliamps and after 2 seconds it is taking nothing (no current).
      I measured on the coils on board everything seems fine. Also the main power rail is not shorted (infinite resistance).
      Now i thought something...

      ASUS ROG Zephyrus GPU Mosfet repeat failure
      by MicroSMD Lab
      The board number is GU502DU. I repaired this a couple weeks ago and it came back with the same issue, same mosfet failed (PQH9201). I'm hoping that the GPU was spared this time.
      I used the same replacement part (purchased from Mouser) and I'm certain the soldering was done properly since it took just as much effort to remove as before. What could cause this same mosfet to fail? I'm thinking if it was unsuitable then the others would fail too. I looked for similar failures on YTube and the mosfet was replaced with AOE6930 in one instance and AOE6932 in the other but it's possible that the...

      Replacing a mosfet with the wrong mosfet!
      by Willaraz
      Good evening everyone!
      I have a mosfet, this mosfet:
      https://datasheetspdf.com/pdf/767782...ctors/AOD478/1
      It seems dead, now I was wondering if I could replace it with this one:
      https://datasheetspdf.com/pdf/564339...ctors/AOD452/1
      My first impression is that one has 100V Drain-Source Voltage and the other 25Vds. However I was thinking since the 100V one is rated for 11A and the other 53A perhaps my old monitor wouldn't mind too much if I'd also slap some kind of heatsink on the 53A mosfet?. At least until I get a...
      Yeah, sure go for it!
