I've been assembling a POE camera and the typical POE pcb from aliexpress has worked fine- for everything except one switch. That switch puts out -53.6V, as opposed to the -48V on nearly all the others I own.
The cheap Ali board (of which I've only ever found this type) apparently can't handle it. I've just finished probing it and it produces 16.8 or 17.0V when powered at -54V. So my gear isn't working. Other equipment that is POE compliant works fine in that switch, so it's obviously a defect in the design that it isn't handling the regulation properly.
I've managed to track down the circuit from the manufacturer-

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32874259693.htmlI can't read the language, however I see some places that might have an impact- there's a 3.0V listed (of which I haven't found yet by probing) and there are a pair of resistors to feed an op-amp.
Looking at the circuit (I'll try to put up photos), the pin 7 goes to ground via a capacitor, which matches the block diagram. However without the language I fear I'm not going to be able to decipher much.
Seeing FB as 'feedback', there is a resistor bank of approximately 7.9K connected to pin 3 (as well as a capacitor I can't measure in circuit).
Were I to hit this with a scope, what would be a good place to start? Am I understanding the diagram the right way?
Thank you
