    Good.

    So what was the problem with yours? Same symptoms? How did you fix it?

        Unfortunately I'll be busy, but will you be available later today or tomorrow?

          Okay...

          The main CPU with the weird heatsink thing on it appears to be telling the PSU to turn on. The resistor R497 connects to pin #115. This goes low when I press the button on the remote (it's normally high.)

          The signal then travels through the multilayer PCB to pin #6 (not pin #5!) It turns out pin #5 is a protection detect pin. So it going high might be good - but falling low signals a fault with the PSU. The standby signal is optionally inverted by a transistor inverter (presumably to allow for different OEM power supplies.)

          The question now is, what is tripping the PSU's protection?

            I've run over this a number of times, but in general this is the process. The power supply has three sections. There is a standby supply that is always on whenever AC power is present. The standby voltage goes to the main board where it powers a control IC (sometimes called the Standby Processor). The Standby Processor monitors both the front panel and the remote control sensor. When the power button is pressed on either, the main supply is turned on by a control line. It may be labeled PS_ON or ON/OFF, or a similar name, it may be labeled 'STBY' or something meaningless.

            When the PS_ON line goes high the PFC section and the main supply section of the power supply are activated. On some power supplies there is a PIC which monitors the output voltages and triggers a failure signal if any voltage doesn't reach the specified level within a short time - typically less than a second. On other designs this function is moved to the main board. In either case, the main supply is turned off by the standby processor if the outputs do not reach the proper level.

            Troubleshooting these supplies is fairly straightforward. First, check for the presence of the Standby voltage. If that isn't present, troubleshoot just like any power supply. In a case where the main supply turns on, then off again, one simple measure is to disconnect the outputs, and force the PS_ON line high by using a 3 volt supply (two AA cells in series will work), then checking the output voltages.

              The PFC AFAIK is always active. The bulk cap always has ~330V across it.

              The line which turns the PSU on is called STBY. This drives a logic pin on one of the chips on the PSU. It is buffered by a transistor inverter.

              There isn't a standby processor (remember, this is a low end TV.) The CPU is always running, although in a low power mode, and is powered by a 3.3V linear regulator, which runs off the 5V or 8V standby line.

              When the PS_ON line goes high the PFC section and the main supply section of the power supply are activated. On some power supplies there is a PIC which monitors the output voltages and triggers a failure signal if any voltage doesn't reach the specified level within a short time - typically less than a second. On other designs this function is moved to the main board. In either case, the main supply is turned off by the standby processor if the outputs do not reach the proper level.
              There isn't a PIC on the mainboard; I think it would be a bit expensive to include one. The designers included a simple two-transistor circuit which I simulated. It triggers if any rail (of 5V, 8V and Panel_5V) drops below 4.3V or if the 3.3V drops below 2.3V. So something is potentially firing this circuit. The question is, what rail is causing the problem...

              There is full standby voltage. I've tried forcing the line high but with no success, but I will try it on pin #6 and not pin #5 this time.

                If I recall correctly, your line voltage is 240 Volts. 330 volts sounds like normal rectified line voltage. Typically when the PFC is functioning I expect to see close to 400 VDC across the main filter cap.

                So they have incorporated the standby processor into the main processor. The point remains the same - the signal to turn the main supply on originates on the main board.

                That would probably help.

                  I'm still not 100% certain it is a PFC circuit. Some PFC circuits use a low duty cycle to maximise efficiency, but at lower power factor.

                  Yes, it is called STBY_ON_OFF and it goes to pin 6 after being inverted.

                    Trust me, it's got a PFC front end.

                      It looks a lot like it. It has a PFC MOSFET and PFC diode in the right positions.

                      According to this thread (http://www.tv.quuq.org/forum/index.p...e;topic=2334.0), the slow start FET can be causing issues. Might be worth me looking at it.

                        Re: 32" Goodmans TV

                        Ref: Hitachi No. 0234 Power Board Circuit

                        - Sheet 1 - IC802, IRF7314, Pin5 > PFC_OFF

                        - Sheet 2 - PFC_OFF > Q823, BC548C

                        During RUN C819 (main elect.) = 386VDC, STBY = 327VDC; note -V test lead connected to heatsink, not chassis. All other V's should be taken with -V test lead connected to chassis.

                        When I initially got this set a couple of weeks ago it was as though it had several faults. After doing a lot of resoldering of heavy joints on the PSU I managed to get it (the PSU) running as it should. But then I had a problem where the set wouldn't come out of STBY and power on. I did some resoldering on the Mainboard related to the PDP_GO/BL_ON_OFF components and the set started working fine. Now the problem I have is when trying to turn on with HDMI connected; sometimes the set comes out of STBY, the backlights power on for a split second and then the set goes into the STBY loop again - but this doesn't happen all the time. If I disconnect the HDMI the set will start and run just fine. Have to admit that the combination of these two Vestel boards is a right pain, but I'm finding it a nice challenge trying to fix these probs and hopefully getting the set working 100%. Also I don't think the comparison between my particular model of TV and the Hitachi data should be taken as being entirely the same.

                                Well, I've found that the TV is signalling a fault condition by pulling down the PROTECTION_DETECT pin. But this could be because the PSU is shutting down...

                                  So:

                                  Pin #6 is on/off for PSU. Off is 1.8V, on is <0.4V. It's at 0.02V when switched on and 1.8V when off, so that seems good.

                                  Pin #5 is an error flag from the signal board. It's supposed to be high when there is no error. But it's often low. Only when the set is working is it high (2.5V.) The pin is low if the rails are out of spec (too low.) However, the rails will always be out of spec if the supply is too low because it's not starting...

                                  The voltage across the PFC cap is always ~330V while in standby or while trying to start (not yet had an opportunity to measure it during operation.) So something with the PFC circuit is not working. However, 330V should still be enough for it to work. I don't care that much about the PFC to fix it unless it's crucial.

                                  So why isn't it starting... could be the fet Q837?

                                  What was the problem with your set dumpystig?

                                    Hmmm

                                    Pin 8 (of SG2525A) is looking like it might be the problem

                                    So it's making my meter go crazy on the DC range, reading random values from -9V to +10V. On the (True RMS) AC range it reads 46V AC.

                                    This pin definitely shouldn't have these kinds of voltages on it, but how are they getting there?

                                    EDIT:

                                    Okay, so this time I did it with the meter grounded to a heatsink (the FET heatsink.)

                                    Now during start-up it measures 0V, it should be above 0.4V, preferably 0.7V. It is charged with an internal 50µA current source.

                                      FIXED!



                                      Pin #8 was the problem... I broke the trace between Q837 and pin #8 of the SG2525A and it now starts up, turns off and does that all many times including between pulling the plug out, which it never did before. I'll leave it overnight to see if I can turn it on in the morning, but it's looking good .

                                      I still left the slow start caps connected to the pin because they provide the slow starting (the set takes 5 seconds to come on, approximately) whjch might be helping to reduce the load on the supply.

                                      I ordered some of the secondary side caps for it, but I don't think they will be necessary any more.

                                      Oddly, the PFC bus voltage is still only 328V - which means PFC isn't working. But I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it, it seems to still be happy with the ~330V.

                                        Oh no, it just died after I wrote that post... I was a bit too quick.

                                        Hmm... possibly my track break wasn't good enough. Will look into it. It was definitely working better than before...

                                        EDIT: Yep, the pin is touching something. I will have to remove all the solder, as I twiddled with the pin and it started working. So it looks to definitely be this pin causing all the troubles.

                                            I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

                                            For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

                                            Hello!

                                            I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

                                            The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

                                            I have studied the board and...

                                            I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
                                            I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...

                                            Good evening

                                            I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
                                            Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?

                                            But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
                                            Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...

                                            I did it again – I had to fulfill my inner desire to fix yet another old piece of hardware. This one is actually kind of worthwhile, too – it’s an EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GS AGP video card, model P/N: 256-A8-N542-T2. With the popularity of “retro” PCs from the Win9x to XP era going up, and the diminishing supply of decent AGP cards, it is expected their prices will go up. Or is it? I bought the this video card rather on the cheap side (~$9 USD shipped to my door), because the eBay seller listed it for parts or repair (and correctly noted the bad capacitors.)

                                            So, here is the...
