  1. That part no. is from the working monitor
    as for the non-working one the part no.
    is C5302

    I checked the diode test from C-E junction
    and it get a reading of about .4 volts
    Is there another test from another junction
    that I can hookup my meter to?

  2. Step down converter you say.
    Is that the same as the flyback transformer?
    Is there an easy way to check this part
    without disconnecting it from the board.

    As for the HOT what readings should I get
    out of it.  by doing the diode test I think getting
    the .6 volts is sufficient no? 

    What else can I check on the mainboard that would
    likely be the culprit?  Thanks always for your help

  3. It is a Sony monitor and I dont remeber the model no.
    I do hear it making a sound when it is turns on.
    The LED power light does not come on when I
    power it up.  The screen remains blank when I
    power it on.  As for the output transistor I do get
    a .6 volts across collector and emitter when tested.
    But I get an open between the Base and the Emitter.
    What is EHT?
    Let me know if you need more info
    Thanks again

  4. My computer monitor just went on the frizzs.
    So I decided to open it up and investigate.
    I do not see the obvious burnt component
    and also checked out the fuse if it was burnt.
    I put a voltmeter on the output transistor
    and I get around .6 volts which tells me that it
    is probably good.  Can anyone give me some advise
    on what can be wrong with my monitor.  I get no power
    coming out of the unit when I fire it up.  I would really like to
    fix this because it is a sony monitor and payed alot for it.
    Any advise will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

  5. ok upon further inspecting the unit it says that it uses
    250V and 1 amp.  So where do I go from there?

    It looks as if the transformer is part of the whole unit
    and it cant be replaced.  Can I add something within the
    circuit to let it run at 110V.  Maybe a power transistor or something.............

  6. instead of doind all that why dont you just run
    jumper wires to whatever part of the circuit it was
    hooked up to.  In other words where it was broken
    off just take the wires and solder them into the traces
    where they were connected or find a junction point and
    solder it there.

  7. Hi
    I just would like to inquire about a coffegrinder
    that was given to me from europe.  The plug on
    it was not the standard 110V supply so I changed
    the plug on it to suit my outlet.  Now it still grinds but
    the problem is that it runs slower.  I think I need to
    change the transformer or something on it.  How
    exactly do I do this and what type of transformer
    do I need to install to suit my 110V outlet.
    Thanks

  8. I checked the power supply already with a voltmeter and
    it checks out ok. I get 30 Volt output which is what it calls
    for. Something on the board itself burnt out. I think it may be
    the voltage regulator on the board. Lets hope that is it. It a
    7812CT version made by Motorola. I just bought a new one from
    Radio Shack and am going to solder the new one in tonight. I think it is bad because it gives me an open circuit alert on my voltmeter, which is capable of checking diodes also. Anyway do you know exactly how to check the regulator with a voltmeter. It has three pins to it. One for the input, middle for ground and the third pin is the output. Thanks for your help

  9. Thanks

    Do you know how to test a voltage regulator?

    I have a 7812CT 3-pin voltage regulator
    and I think its bad. Can you tell me
    what pins are what and how to test
    it with a voltmeter? Its for a multiprinter
    gizmo and when I hook up the power it sparks
    back and I get no juice from it. Thanks again
    for your help

  10. Has anyone ever heard of this switch?

    It looks like a 'U' shape and has four terminals
    to it soldered to the circuitboard. In between
    the 'U' shape is a grove where something blocks
    the optics and I guess that it turns it on or off.

    My question is does anyone know how to measure
    this with a voltmeter? I know there are diodes
    inside to measure for .6 volts or something but
    can someone tell me which terminals to test
    and what readings should I get. Thanks in advance

  11. That has something to do with your phone line that needs distintive device so that your fax can understand your phone line when it is sending a fax. Look into your phone modem options in control panel and there should be something in there about distintive ring. I think you should check that option so that your fax and phone line can communicate with each other.

  12. Hi all,
    Can anyone help me in fixing my lexmark printer?
    I have a multiprinter type (scanner, fax, print) and
    the problem is in the main circuit board of the printer.
    When I connect the power cord I can see a spark from the
    connection but I get no power to the unit. The board does not
    have any fuses where I can check. The only thing I can find is
    a diode thats right next to the power connection of the board. It
    gives me an open diode with my voltmeter. I preceeded to change
    that diode with a new one, but the same thing happens to the diode. Something weird that I dont understand, when I unsolder the diode from the board it give me a .6V reading which is good, but when I solder it to the board it reads an overload, which is a bad diode. Anyone can explain this mystery to me and any help in diagnosing my printer. The board does not have any transformers to. It is part of the plug itself. For your information I have checked all of the other diodes that are soldered to the board and they all come out ok. Its only the one nest to the connector. thanks for your help.
