Re: Samsung LE32B350F1W starting PROBLEM
Just adding 2cents worth here.
I would also suspect this regulator because the 5 volt generation comes off the same transformer and the feedback off this goes back through PCM801S opto. The circuit shows either feedback from the 5v or from the unregulated 12v through the opto.
If there was any other instability in the whole circuit, the 5volt line would also bounce around. Also measure the voltage on the feed side of the regulator, is it stable?
Check the feedback resistor divider values and connections. RM864 (10k), RM863 (1k) and RM865 (100R). There should be a stable 1.3volts between the junction of RM863/RM864 and ground pin 3 of the regulator.
Output = 1.3*(10k + 1k + 100R)/(1k +100R) = 13.1v
The output capacitor also needs to be present to ensure stability. CM856 (470uf) and CM857 (470uf), check ground connections (look for solder cracks) and cap values.
Lastly, check ground connection of regulator pin 3.
==========
You can also put in a cheap LM7812 regulator with two diodes from the tab to ground (isolate the tab from ground) to try it, or use a LM317 (isolate the tab from ground) with two different resistor values to set the 13.1v.
