  • How to check fuses, diodes, transistors, mosfet, voltage regulators in circuit and out of circuit boards, if TV doesn't turn on or has no red standby light then check the power supply fuses. Some fuses can blow out during a surge or lightning strike or shorted diode or transistor goes out.

    I was diagnosing an AC power problem in a JBL Partybox 300 that was left out in the rain and no longer works so the owner replaced the unit and gave this one away. $50 in parts and it's good as new.

    Thanks for explaining in simple terms how to check transistors and diodes. It appears that using the diode mode rather than the ohm setting on your meter is a much easier way to tell if you've got a bad one.

    Sub'd a while ago, but didn't thumbs up/comment (my Son just explained the importance of doing those things) so I'm back to correct that while refreshing my memory on the parts & procedure needed to fix our 42" Phillips TV! Your info/vids helped me identify the problem & clearly showed me how to repair it using a repair kit (or the easier but more costly replacement power supply board) however I wasn't confident enough with my soldering skills to attempt the repair at the time I found your vids (might have tried despite my fear if our TV only needed 1 or 2 things soldered but the amount of obviously bad "bits"on ours & amounts recommended to be changed or contained in the repair kit far exceeded my DIY bravery LOL) & I haven't been able to swing the cost of a new PS Board so the TV has just been collecting dust.... I quit watching TV a couple years ago so it hasn't bothered me but my Son is a gamer & really misses the big screen...his only wish for Xmas this year is having the TV repaired so I'm hoping to gain enough confidence to do the repair by watching more of your helpful vids...wish me luck!!!

    This is by far the most helpful video I have found on this subject. I have an LED grow light and one of the drivers blew a resistor and I replaced it and it just blew the new one as well. I figured there had to be another issue somewhere down the line, so I have been trying to find a video to tell me how I can test each part of the driver. I haven't gotten to it yet but once I do this video is going to be a great help. Thanks so much, keep making great informative videos and I'll keep watching!

    Good I liked it. Just one observation. Transistors cannot block voltage, even if a transistor is open you will still have a voltage across it. Transistors will block a current flow or it will let it pass. That is what it will do. But in general you are a good teacher....

    Thanks for the great video! I have a little knowledge on electronics. I decided to dedicate some time to learn more about it because I have a few amplified speakers which don't turn on and my mission is to be able to fix them myself using only youtube videos like this one and others where they do repairs and explain how amplifiers work... Hopefully it doesn't take too much time. I saw a comment on a website where a guy mentioned "check the MOSFETs they may be the reason of the speakers not turning on.."

    In your video, you have a ohmmeter illustration showing that you can check semiconductors. I believe that since the voltage across the probes is so low, the semiconductor will not be biased into conduction. You could do this with an old analog meter but modern DMM can't hence the diode selection on the meter.
