After successfully resurrecting my OSSC, I decided in a craze of enthousiasm to upgrade it to the latest firmware (1.09).

I’m pretty sure my previous version of the firmware was 0.x (as my remote was inactive after the update and I had to set it up again). I then was unable to get any sync (using AV1_RGBS which was working pretty…Read more

I order the components at LCSC for $12.05 inluding shipping on March 1st, and received everything today.
SMD soldering is still a painful experience for me, those things are sooooo tiny !! I had to unplug and secure the LCD flat cable to avoid burning it with the soldering iron, but it all worked well…Read more

I’ll check the suppliers you recommended, order everything (with a few extra spare AMS117), and let you know of my results.

Thanks a lot again Morpheus_79 for all your valuable and quick answers 🙂

I check the label on my extracted U5 and it’s “AMS 117 3-3 LD818”. From what I’ve seen here: , it indeed has pin 1 for Ground, pin 2 for Vout and pin 3 for Vin.

We kind of double-posted here, but as I said in my previous…Read more

It went well and all other regulators do now show correct ground connection. I checked the extracted U5 and it indeed still has a short between pins 1 and 2 (same as shown in the pictures above). That explains I guess to super…Read more

Interesting thing is that only U6 seems to be OK :

I checked the regulators : U5 has the pins connected to GND (the middle one plus another one), and most of the bottom side reulgators also the two pins connected to ground (also the middle one plus another one).

Do you think that this short circuit is internal to a regulator (and that I should try to replace it),…Read more

My first post here 🙂  So, here’s my story: I let my OSSC powered on by mistake during 2 or 3 days. After that, it gave no signs of life anymore. LEDs off, no LCD display or HDMI output.

I googled a bit and found that the ‘usual suspects’ in this case are fuse F1 and diode D5. F1 visually seemed OK, but I shortened it. I also…Read more
