    like MOSFETs, Zener diod is almost certainly part of the charging chip design template. Most of the manufacturers implement reference design instead of inventing their own weel. The problem with input voltage protection is that both MOSFETs could be shorted by voltage spike of a malfunctioning power supply. If it builds up a high-frequency AC ripple, it may be overseen by ACDET regulator but it will still blow insulator in MOSFET. in this case, you have uncontrolled DCIN going directly into the main power rail which is always a bad situation. Zener diodes are used on every single HDD as an over-voltage protection fuse - it gets blown very fast and it shorts power rail to the ground. Think of Zener diodes as an over-Voltage fuse.
    Since you did not replace the Zener and customer will use the same PSU, this laptop might come back at some point and I guess if it will, it will come with a blown cap or VCORE MosFET.

    It's not zenner diode, it's reverse polarity protection. See it's pd9, not pz9 and the symbol shows a diode. That's why it is there for reason and not stupid.

    @sviktor4 Před 4 lety +17

    In my PSU designs I use suppressor diodes to protect from spikes, when they fail, fail short and burn out the fuse, so the rest of the board is safe and doesn't stress the charger or whatewer the power source. HP really should put some kind of fuse to the power rails.
    EDIT: if something goes wrong with the charger or wrong charger plugged in tantalium capacitors blow up pretty agressively. My guess they use max 25V components.

    That part you were pointing out is actually a TVS diode (transient voltage suppressor) marked as "IV". You can look at it's specifications under it's equivalent being SMAJ20A tvs diode. It was a bit tricky finding it as either new semiconductor devices do not have a standardized marking code or, that (somewhat imperialistic) companies have their own marking code which at times do not even correspond to their own data books.

    • @Drottninggatan2017
      @Drottninggatan2017 Před rokem +4

      Now if these diodes are shorting to ground on over voltage then why would it not work correctly again when the over voltage is gone?
      I suppose that this diode was damaged. Permanently shorting to ground.

    Subbed and Thumbs up! Thank you so much for this! I was a repair engineer _Once_ and I still like to think that I can tackle most things but I was presented one of these in a very similar scenario, with the exception that the charging light comes on and it will charge the battery but when the power button is pressed, lights (but no screen) come on briefly; fan spins briefly then everything goes quiet, leaving only the charge light on. PSU is fine but *not* original. One of my excuses to not attempt something like this is that I don't have a Scope or re-ball facilities but you prove the contrary, using tried and tested basic equipment to repair things that would otherwise be 'beyond economical repair' by smaller companies and astronomically high priced repairs from manufacturers.

    It may be a Transil diode called also TVS (Transient Voltage Supressor). It is used to protect against overvoltage. It shorted itself but protected rest of the components. In some cases transil can even protect against catching fire or explosion of Lithium-ion batteries.

    • @paulf1071
      @paulf1071 Před 4 lety +4

      Yes, it may have been a TVS diode doing its protection job correctly. That TVS may have been under-rated, or else a massive voltage spike appeared on the line.

    I think its a TVS diode. A transient voltage suppression diode. It will short if the voltage reach its limit and does not recover from short anymore. I found one in a Western Digital Hard drive and its the same problem, the area where it was located we're charred/burnt.

      John Price please recall that I did say it’s common practice. Inline TVS between FETs is plainly confusing to me logically. I place transient suppression only on connections where hands touch or near and between power supplies to the logic circuits, to protect against ESD. I must be doing something right since my designs do pass UL.

    Thanks for the video. I have a HP Pavilion and it has the same non charging fault. I have done all the things suggested by trying to run it with the battery removed and trying to discharge the circuits but to no avail. And as you have done, I checked the power supply to give 19V. I would never have figured out how to take it apart if not for your video! I've found all the screws and have almost prised the keyboard off but my version of the Pavilion has a DVD drive and there appears to be a screw hidden by the drive. I might have to take the DVD drive out to get at it but I can not see how to do that. At 5:58 you just slide out the module that is where my DVD drive is, but yours doesn't look like a DVD drive. Any suggestions?
