QUADRO hardware components burns

Thursday, July 14th 2022, 12:05pm

Hi all

I am french, I bought QUADRO Lüftersteuerung für PWM-Lüfter.
After connecting the QUADRO to my pump and mothercard, when I started up I heard a CLACK!! and after analysis, I found a burn component on the QUADRO card.
See picture file join with this topic.
Can I do a RMA procedure ?
Or, as I work in Hardware R&D, so i can switch a bad electronic component by a new one, whitch is the component reference ?

Thanks for you help.

This happens when an overvoltage occurs on the 5V line.
There is probably much more broken.
This can happen if your power supply is not OK or the 5V and 12V are reversed on your connection cable.

I connected Quadro directly with MOLEX connector of my PSU

@sebastian, could that solder blob be a short to ground?

I found it odd to see that ball of solder there next to some SMD
