    Gigabyte GA-SINXP1394

    I received this board from a co-worker to recap. The board had been in service for a couple of years, and one day, wouldn't POST. Calls to Tech Support ended up with him resetting the BIOS, which allowed it to boot for a few days, then the same thing again (no POST). Tech Support then "diagnosed" bad capacitors (over the phone, without seeing the board). This is an unusual board, with a Main and a Backup BIOS. Both are soldered directly onto the board, not socketed.

    I've inspected the board, and there is no visible sign of bad capacitors. The board has a daughterboard with several VRMs and caps on it. Most of the large caps on the motherboard, and all on the daughterboard, are on the "good" list: Sanyo WG, Chemi-con KZG, Panasonic FJ. However, there are:
    19 Nichicon HM(M) 1000uF, 6.3V (scattered all over the board)
    10 Teapo 100uF, 10V (scattered all over the board)
    2 G-Luxon 22uF, 16V

    I'm planning on doing a complete re-capping, but wonder what everyone else thinks. Replace just the potentially troublesome ones, or do them all?

        Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
        by Tynan Dill
        I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

        Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

        I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

        The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

        With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

        Assuming...

        by m1ch43lzm
        Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
        Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

        TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
        by howardc64
        All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
        • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
        • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

        LG OLED77G1PUA - No Video / Audio after a TCON Board change and Software Update
        by Hakuu
        Hi There,

        This TV was auto switching off after few seconds with some vertical lines on the screen, so got a new TCON board and replaced it.

        After replacing the TCON board it was working fine and i set it up with everything, used for few hours, then had the bright idea to update the software on it. During the update process, TV switched off and now no audio or video. No relay switch sound.

        More Details

        TV Model - LG OLED77G1PUA

        Got the same exact TCON board from TVPartsToday and replaced it. But didnt transfer the EPPROM data (didnt...

        Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
        by jb_Bak
        Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

        Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
        Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
        CN6401
        Pin 01 NC
        Pin 02 NC
        Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
        Pin 04 "N/C"
        Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
        Pin 06 "GND": N/C
        Pin 07 "AC_OFF"...
