Hi all out there.
I got an old iMac 20 inch from 2007, with no backlight.
 
I open up the iMac and found the inverter.
The inverter is made by DARFON, TW.
The modell is: 4H.V2471.001
 
I check the transistor, diods and so on.
I found 2 suspect transistors.Q2 qnd Q4. Two SOT-23. They are labeled: RKM35, I don't know if it's a NPN or PNP or even a mosfet.
Is there some one that have worked with this inverter, I mean in component-level.
I mailed DARFON, but I got a reply from postmaster, saying that they could't deliver my mail, becouse DARFON inbox is full.
Mybee they went out of busnees, and forgot to close the mail-accont.
 
I would appriciate any help from You.

some Rohm RK7002 N-CH Mosfets have RKM markings
(SOT-32 60V 115mA switching)
Mouser sell them but with RKU marking

Correction SOT-23

Thank You JC.
I think You are right, that it is a MosFet-transistor. I don't have them in stock, so I have to order them.
Are You familier with that inverter, made by DARFON?
There is a 4-pin connector that supply the inverter with power and control-voltage. Pin 1 = + 12V, Pin 2 = ground, Pin 3 = proberly(?) the brigthnees control and Pin 4 = 3,3Volt
They selling these inverter on E-bay, but shipping cost will sometime be more than for the inverter.
I've got this iMAC for free, but I don't wanna pay to much to get it up and running. Anyway, the computer is 13 years old. If I got it running, it will not be at the top of iMAC-computers.

No, not familiar, I do a lot of switchers so I get to know a lot of
transistor codes.
Good luck!

I randomly checked several newsgroups for sample messages and the
above message and the covid message were the only messages. It's like
these assholes posted to every newsgroup. What a waste of time.

Is that telephone number really complicit with this spam? If so, we all should call it and personally let them know how grateful we are.

Looking at the URL structure this is some service (grex.com) that hosts
user accounts (~henced) where someone has hosted a page. That someone
may not at all be related to this spam, it may be a hacked account.
 
The article was posted on usenet via another service, but that account
already has been shut down. Of course it will be quite easy to create
a new account for the next run.

I have the subject driver & it has excessive leakage current: 20ma more
or less. With an 1800 mah battery, that's less than 4 days of shelf
life. After I discovered this I thought that I could live with it by
not keeping the battery in the driver. That got old REAL quickly - like
twice having to put the battery in & remove it after.
 
So I opened it up to see what I could see:

I cleaned the board real well by scrubbing with denatured alcohol (it
was pretty dirty - it's 10 years old). No effect, so I tried heating
with a hair dryer & cooling with CO2. No effect.
 
It can be seen in the photos that the trigger is more than just on-off
contacts & that it can be opened. But I'm worried that there are little
springs & such inside and that I'd like to only do that at the last.
 
Are there any components that are likely suspects & are easily checked?
I do have an analog scope as well as a couple of DMM's. Any suggestions
at all?
 
Thanks, Bob

Jeff - thanks for the reply. The driver is a GEN 0, model 2450 ...
LiIon battery. The battery is new (the original ones lasted 10 years -
no complaints there), model 48-11-2420.
 
The 20ma leakage was measured (DMM). A 12v 10-year-old drill was also
measured, for reference, & its leakage was less than a ma.
