    Re: CAP ID and what to replace?

    These kind of shorts are really hard to track down.

    Extra techniques to find a short on a rail- Set a benchtop PSU to Vrail at ~1A current limit and inject:
    1. Using hi-res multimeter, measure uV drops on pcb (rail) traces.
    2. Use a thermal imaging camera to see the hot spot. Works very good, even a few degrees rise can be seen at the fault.

    I tracked one down just measuring milliohms with a 6-1/2 digit multimeter with good probes. That turned out to be a short on a pcb ground pour to trace, a copper fleck.

    Simple 00.3 from 3.3 pin to c702, then 01.0 from c702 to pin 1 of u703.

    If you're talking about 3.3 pin to ground pins on the main connector coming from the PSU it's 01.3

    @ Mad_Professor: it's rare for electrolytic caps to go short-circuit. Still, it won't hurt to remove them and check. If not, then measure resistance across all SMD ceramic caps. The ones that give the same shorted reading as the 3.3V rail can be considered suspect. Remove them 1 by 1 until short is gone. If not gone, then it may be a shorted regulator. Before I had a good soldering station, in such situation I would remove ceramic caps 1 by 1, but now that I have one, I remove and check the regulators first.
    I understand, but when I put my probes on the cap itself well just the gnd to gnd on other caps it tested short. So when I did gnd to anode on the cap itself it tested short, but there are no other caps after that except for ceramics and I haven't found any other caps that test short on both leads. Usually if I do that, my meter would start at some random and count up until OL, this cap doesn't do that.

    What Ohm scale are you using to read this short?
    The reason I ask because we have other telling us "the out put read dead short, it shows 0.5 on my Ohm meter". Well, I ask what scale he was using, it was set at 2K scale, so basically, the short is actually 0.5K or 500 Ohms.
    I'm using the lowest setting possible, 200 ohms, I also use the same setting to trace it back to c702 and from that cap to the U703's pin 1. Pin3 goes to c749's anode lead *find c774 the print is bad for c749* that cap is a 10v 470uf cap.

    I use the diode setting to test the VRM,
    1-3 .550
    1-2 .098
    2-3 .550


    But that's still with it in circuit. but the datasheet shows pin 1 to be the V-IN and pin 3 V-OUT. Pin 2 is not even connected, so it must be using it's back plate for a ground, I assume.

    That doesn't make any sense, since pin 1 goes to the two pins in the connector marked as 3.3, so unless I'm reading the connector wrong, or pwr is actually the voltage supplier, or I fucked up.

    I got some more pictures below.

    and yes I'm making sure I have my probes on 3.3 pins and not the GROUND PINS!

    If there's a short on the 3.3V rail, it is hard to track down. See if anything is getting warm. The Vreg should heat up if one of its loads is shorted.

    Re: CAP ID and what to replace?

    Well if they are ok, I decided to look for the voltage regulator. I had my meter on 3.3v pin and accidentally ran my other probe across the shielding of the tuner, and it beeped at me. I thought that was funny so I went to the main connector put black probe on gnd and my red probe on the two 3.3v and they both are shorted, how can VR be ground too, it help me trace it back to L311 G1084-33, but it doesn't appeared shorted, so it must be a decoupling cap near by right?

    What's even more funny it's on pin 1 which is ground to begin with. Looks like C702 appears to be shorted, it's JH 220uf 10v, but I can't tell if it's intentional, I will have to remove and test again.

    I hope this is the correct datasheet

    @ Mad_Professor:

    They're okay if not running too hot, but not qualitative enough to recommend them as replacement capacitors. Furthermore, the CD263 series has a load life of only 1000 hours for cap diameters of <= 8 mm.

    You can find the matching Elite datasheet here:
    Are Jianghai any good?

    I'd figure that a voltage regulator probably is busted. Find which one is for the 3.3v

    started a topic CAP ID and what to replace?

    CAP ID and what to replace?

    I got a bunch of these caps labelled JH cd263, I also got two elites, EJ.

    datasheet? what to replace with?

    The board is getting 5v from PSU, but pressing the menu panel "Power button," nothing is returned on ps_on. I checked the menu panel, it's not getting any voltages. 3.3v to gnd non-existent even the pwr pin no voltage is received when pressing the button. Checked fuses FB701-704 tested good. So I must have a open or failed cap somewhere, or a faulty voltage regulator on the board.

    EIZO CX270 - No signal but Backlight and Panel works, logo works, admin menu works. OSD doesn't. What?!
    by vf fa
    Hi, so i guess Iยดll have to make a new topic here, as i browsed through hundreds of other threads but couldn't find a solution to my problem yet.

    I got a EIZO CX270 from a friend. He said it doesn't work anymore and wont display any signal or take any OSD inputs. Well, as an aspiring photographer I couldn't say no, could I? Thought it was an easy game, replace a bad cap and have a working monitor. But nooope, it wasn't supposed to be this easy.

    So let me start with the problem description. I'll try my best not to skip anything so this might get rather long.

    Samsung UE39F5700AW - resets when pressing Menu
    by dicky96
    Hi guys I have this Samsung UE39F5700AW

    It powers on, says Smart TV then goes to page sayiing No Signal (as I have no antenna or video source attached)

    If i press MENU on the remote, or push the little joystick switch on the back, a large blue square scrolls on screen (like it is going to display a menu) then it goes blank, and restarts, saying Smart TV then saying No Signal

    What causes this? Does in need the BIOS/Eprom flashing or something?

    Hello,

    So I was referred here when I made this poste over on AVForums: https://www.avsforum.com/threads/loc...lg-tv.3257234/

    To summarize, this is a commercial TV and I can't get a menu of any kind. I know the overlay is working because when I change channel, adjust volume, turn on sleep timer I do see text. But I have not ever seen the user menu nor the installers menu. I've tried a bunch of remotes(more info on the AVF post) and tried every button...

    Philips 58PUS7805 Menu working but no/weird picture from video sources
    by Ierwin
    Hello everyone,

    I got a 58pus7805 that shows some weird behavior.
    The menu and remote work fine and the picture is looking crisp and flawless while navigating the menu.
    However, when a video source is displayed the screen either goes solid green (HDMI), solid black (SAT TV) or shows some fragments on mostly green background (AVI Playback from USB).

    I tried to reinstall the firmware through the menu which was rejected saying it already had the latest version.
    I managed to install the latest official firmware by holding the control button while plugging...
