    IR lamp Medisana IR 850 ,Identifying 14 pin chip

    Hello,

    I have a non-working IR lamp Medisana IR 850.

    Initially, when I plug the item into mains I had to press the button once to start it. The function is pretty simple - every button press add 5 min to timer (probably the unknown IC I am looking for) up to 15mins. The main problem was that the relay was not closing for some reason and the lamp did not glow.

    I found the problem which was a blown zener dionde, but unfortunately while measuring on live my probe slipped and shorted the black capacitor next to the zener diode with mains and it blew up...

    I've replaced the capacitor and the zener and from this time the circuit is no longer working. What is happening is once I plug the item into mains every possible LED light up and the board is not responding to the button. I've checked every possible component that could be checked and what's left is the unknown U2. Do you think it's possible to find what's the IC? From what I see the pinout is the following:

    1, 2, 3 - controlling timer indicator (1 active led = 5min, 2 active led = 10mins, 3 active led - 15 mins)
    4 - VCC
    5, 6 - NC
    7 - connected to the button and also to positive through resistor
    8, 9, 10 - NC
    11 - GND
    12 - this is controlling the relay. If I pass more than 7.5V to this pin the relay is closing
    13 - responsible for running a fan which connector is located on the right side of the board
    14 - main LED indicating the item is running, not sure if it has other responsibilities...

    I found some marking on the bottom of the chip, but probably useless.. Check the attachments for more information.
    Any suggestions are welcome.

    Thanks.

    it's a microcontroller.
    what / where is "u1" ?

      U1 is voltage regulator located in the top left corner next to the relay.

        What Zener Diodes on a Linear Power Supply
        by caspian
        Dear members,

        I have a linear variable power supply with unknown brand name that I used for voltage injection.
        Then it failed. I discovered that its transistors (Q1 and Q2) are shorted.
        In addition, I discovered that its zener diodes are defective.
        I can replace the burned transistors.
        But I do not know the model of the zener diodes. the model number is not marked on the zener diodes.
        Therefore, I cannot replace the zener diodes.
        I do not want to test the zener diodes in a test circuit to discover their model or value.
        no schematics are available...

        9V relay temperature 40C
        by jm1234
        Hi, I'm seeing one 9V relay having temperature 40C on its 9V (primary) side. Does that seem right? I switched 2 relays on that board and the temperature was the same (on the same position), so I'm sure it's not a faulty relay. I measured voltage on that relay and it was 9.5V DC, so that looks good. I don't see any other relay on that board having that kind of temperature and they have 9V on them too.
        I thought maybe the transistor that is switching this relay keeps switching on/off, so I also checked for AC and there was almost none: 0.3V using mV range. No steady frequency was shown, but...

        Biomass Boiler not driving cleaner motor relay. ENERTRES BIOMASA BI-650
        by edugimeno
        Hi everyone!
        I have this board that suddenly stopped supplying power to an output that drives an interchanger cleaner motor.
        I checked while the board was in place with all wires attached and there's no AC voltage on the corresponding plug X5
        This X5 is driven by fuse F8 (tested OK) which comes from the second orange relay
        To make sure there are no charcoaled contacts inside the relay, I got a 24VDC power supply and got it ready to manually power up the coil side of these relays.
        I respected the polarity, positive to cathode of protecting diode
        So provided all...

        What zener diode might fix the sound on Maestro Mayhem gaming chair?
        by nev1001
        Hi, I'm looking for a bit of help trying to fix the audio unit from a Maestro Mayhem 4.1 gaming chair please.

        The chair has a few speakers and vibration motors. All was well, for a while, but now the sound is gone.

        It may be significant that I discovered my son was powering it with a 19V laptop charger when it should run on 12V - it did fully work, for bit.

        I think an issue could be a zener diode (or capacitor) which has shorted out.

        The board's bluetooth input still works, the vibration motors are working, so is the line out socket but not the...
