    Re: Help an untrained ear to identify this sound? (unplugging a Hiper Type-R 480W)

    Thanks for checking in. The noise was gone, the diodes were mounted according to the symbols on the board, 85 ohms across the diode, and no visible solder bridges, but apparently I suck at soldering. I double checked my "work" and redid one of the joints of the zener and it works!

    Because of my great skill and expensive equipment the traces had lifted around the rectifier diode, which didn't really motivate me to keep working on it. I probably wouldn't have if you hadn't made it sound like I was close.

    Undecided whether I should ignore the lifted trace and just reassemble the thing.

      As long as you have a good connection you should be fine just look at the connections with a magnifying glass and make sure that there are no air gaps in joints

      If you have an air gap you can sometimes put a small piece of wire from your part to the next through hole part that the trace went to diode

      From the Diode to next through hole part on the same trace just make sure that the wire that you add does not touch something that it not suppose to touch

      I hope that this will help you

        For lifted pads on "easy" boards, you can usually fix them by just scraping off some solder-mask on the track with a sharp blade (don't push too hard!), bending the component lead over, and soldering it on the whole way. This provides a good mechanical connection as well as electrical.

        See the attached photo - (From https://learn.adafruit.com/assets/2040) - NOTE: personally I would bend the lead flush with the board for better mechanical strength than have it looped over like they have.

        Good work fixing it

          I decided to leave well enough alone, but thanks for the options.

          A picture. The zener was a pain to wedge in under the heat sink, but it didn't break.

            ATX Hiper type R 480W postfixing problem
            by harp
            The psu has initialy shorted 5vsb and few rounded caps...
            I find short, there was big sb540 diode and one red small in glass no marking, from 5vsb rail to ground.
            After replaced sb540 with sb560, I supose that this glass diode was zenner 5v1, so I put it there. Also replace mentioned caps. I was so confident that I put all in box...

            All double checked, nowhere short is remaining, it has 5vsb and 5v ps-on now, but when power on, it briefly run (fan and voltage) and shutdown. This behaveour is repetable if again switch on. I do not use any bulb or toaster this time,...

            KDM 480W PSU upgrade succes! (opinions?)
            by bauto601
            Back in 2020 i bought a (2nd hand) compact ATX psu to replace my current one. My PC case only fits very short ATX power supplies so i didn't really have the choice of buying a decent 80Plus unit. The current unit is a modded YoungYear unit that i made a thread about a while ago:
            A "nice" YoungYear unit? - Badcaps

            The "new" unit is a KDM-M6480 480W psu, the 480W number is a typical KDM bullshit claim of course, but the 24A rating on the 12V rail seemed reasonable and the "Active PFC" claim gave me a bit of hope that this was going to be decent-ish....

            iPad Pro 12.9 (6th Gen) screen shuts off after unplugging device
            by SarcasticOP
            Greetings,

            I have an iPad Pro 12.9" 6th gen tablet that had a screen replaced about 10 months ago at a repair shop and last week the screen went blank during use. The device was still on, notifications played sound for example. I have replaced the screen twice, both screens are working until I unplug it, at which point I can see that screen is on but is all black. If I press the power button, the backlight goes off, and when I press it again, the image appears for half a second and then the screen goes back to being black but on. This issue is not present at all when the iPad...

            Display Issue with Sharp LC-60LE660U
            by Justin.aver
            I inherited a 60in TV (Sharp LC-60LE660U) from my folks after the display stopped working and my Dad didn't want to play around with it. I decided to give it a shot and this is what I have tried so far as well as the symptoms.

            The symptoms that I was told originally was that the audio worked fine but the picture stayed black. After bringing the TV home I decided to take the back off of the TV to look for a bulging cap or anything that was obvious. Everything looked OK to my untrained eye but I plugged in the TV to see if I could hear anything and all of a sudden I got perfect picture....
