so i'm just wondering all this burning on the board i mean it's burnt up here as well that tray is that trace removed there yeah it's burnt up here as well oh and he said the capacitor this capacitor had broken here so from there the dc it goes into this capacitor and then from there it goes up to this item here which looks like a little transformer so this is going to be the oh hold on we have a component here as well some sort of let's transistor if we can zoom in on that is there a chip on here so this is this is the chip here that's going to be driving or no would it be this side that the chip would be on maybe this is the chip here which is driving the switch in it's kind of slightly hard just because we've got traces on the top and the bottom and they're a little bit hard to see right well do you know i'm sort of down to myself but i know on a bridge rectifier that it's like four diodes and the reason i'm getting on my meter isn't a correct reading because we should have open one way and then it's going to be whatever it was NUMBER_TOKEN or NUMBER_TOKEN or something the other way you can see NUMBER_TOKEN so i would say that's a normal reading but that there is not a normal reading that's just short yeah and it looks like a normal reading here but then if i was to go to here to here that's not normal readings that's a short so essentially what's happening is the dc is sorry the ac is coming across isn't it and it's shorting straight on to where the dc here but you can definitely see where the fire occurred i mean look at that in here my guess right now is that the bridge rectifier went and because this is just always on and i mean why don't they put a separate little switch on here is it some kind of regulations where you're not allowed to have another switch but why can't there be a little push button here which is built into the board here how much extra would that cost i wonder is it more regulations than anything else because then you could just press it when you want the power to the usbs and press it when you want to turn it off that way then you haven't got the power going through all the time i mean it'd be so easy just to have from one of the cables here you know to to break the circuit maybe you're not allowed to have it on the uh the face plate for some reason maybe there's some regulations that stops you from having that so i'm just gonna give this charred burnt mess a clean with some isopropyl alcohol and while i'm doing that i'll shout out the my mate vince massive and this month the members consist of operational NUMBER_TOKEN kit URL_TOKEN kip hanks he's the guy that actually sent in this socket max rokatanski having fun repairs ellensburg apple fire repair and service will michaelis chris seal dorian from hoover lux restorations URL_TOKEN rob hughes felipe mr URL_TOKEN dan prutten king curd from low book auto sales and kiki hobby repair so massive thanks to everybody that gives support to this
