\$\begingroup\$

I am having a faulty BOE-hm185wx1-400 panel, where the MLG voltage has dropped to 15 V instead of the usual 25.4 volts. After a bit of diagnosis, it appears that the DC-DC ic below is possibly faulty.

The PCB

But I am unable make out the ic datasheet or find replacement based on what is written on it ER=1B 73H

Is this it's IC number? Just googling does not fetch anything... Please help me.

    \$\begingroup\$ Only if they are forward biased would they read that <0.8V. Depends on what they are for in the circuit. In any case, diodes usually fail short. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ It's possible it's bad. It's also possible that your multimeter is not telling you the whole story if there are pulsed waveforms and filter caps involved. As @DKNguyen says, a short would be much more typical and you seem to have two anomalies. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @DKNguyen @SpehroPefhany thanks for your help. Could you please help me a little bit more by helping me gather more information about the ic with ER=1B 73H written on it... So that I can possibly order a replacement... \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ If I understand correctly, you've ruled out the diodes as a problem and are now looking to identify the DC/DC controller. Is that right? If so, please edit your question to reframe it as an ID question. Don't use "Update" or "Edit" or similar in the question text as we can already see the post history if we want to. \$\endgroup\$
