But if you check it and find voltage on its drain, it means that the rectification is good and
the power supply unit is blocked for some reason
In this case, you must verify if there is start-up voltage on the main power supply
If the unit uses the IC 3842 or 3882 as shown below, the start-up voltage must be about 12V
For other ICs check its datasheet to find out which is its start-up pin
If the start-up voltage is not present, you must seek for blown start-up resistors
The start-up resistors are high resistance resistors such as 220K or 470K resistors
In many cases you find the start-up voltage, but the power supply does not work
In this case the problem can be:
If the short is on the highest source (usually 150v) then it is probable that the short is in
the RGB output.
There are monitors which use three RGB output transistors, others uses a power RGB IC.
A shorted RGB IC can also cause the main power supply to be dead because it's hooked
directly to the power supply
If you found no problem on the secondary side, then you must check the primary side
In monitors that use 3842 IC on its power supply, check capacitors hooked to its pins # 3
and #4
Also replace small electrolytic capacitors as shown below:
It's recommended to replace the capacitors because many of them can pass the multimeter
test and still be bad
At last, if the problem is not found, the optical coupler must be replaced
Below you can see two types of optical couplers
In lesson 5 we show how you can test an optical coupler and how does it work
You can choose between testing or replacing it without testing
That's all for a while
