Element E4SFT551 Charred power board

[jason123]

Hi
I don't usually acquire ELEMENT TVs, but this one is "Smart TV" 4k, and FREE!

took it home and found a black section on the power board. Not sure it's worth investing in this TV at all. has anyone had any experience with this TV or Power supply?

I think it would be better to find a replacement for the power supply. Even if you replace the burnt items I bet there will be more bad ones that are not visibly damaged.
Also check the mainboard for visible burnt marks.
Good luck!

It might be repairable, hard part would be finding out the component values, but shopjimmy has the power supply for $29.00

Re: Element E4SFT551 Charred power board

if board view is available it may be fixable .. how many layers to the board ?

Re: Element E4SFT551 Charred power board

looks like a single layer board

Resistors shorting like out like that are usually an indication of a more serious problem. Considering they're using CapXon caps that should tell a little about the design/quality of this board. RJ's $29.00 suggestion is a pretty good gamble.

Just to complicate life, I ordered the correct Power supply board, MP5055-4K1, and the seller accidentally sent me MP5055-4K1C, though the auction photo shows the correct board. I'm attaching a photo of the ad photo (correct board I have) and what I received. It looks like the board I received only has one backlight LED connector, and a couple of differences (jumpers vs. resistors).. does anyone know the differences between these boards? Can I modify the MP5055-4K1C to be MP5055-4K1?

What power supply did you use?

Did you modify the new board to the old or did you simply replace the old with the new???
