That's for power and temperature monitoring. I wonder why they died; Would have to be a surge on the secondary side.does anyone know how the I 219A & EMC1404 circuit works? I have a ADP-310AF PSU with both of them blown [VS & Gnd are shorted], along with a blown TL432 (with marking T4DS)[cathode & anode shorted when chip is on the board but Cathode & VREF is not shorted to ground when chip is removed].
Right now the imac will blow high speed fan due to this. Would it be ok if i just change all 3 chips?
Since your supply still works, I'd replace the defect parts. If we assume there was an overvoltage on the secondary that killed these parts, other ICs (if any, I didn't check) may have died as well. Better check. It would be normal that the fans spin up because of missing temperature monitoring.
