    Phillips Brilliance 230c 2 secs to black

    Hi all,

    I'm a graduate power supply design engineer so diagnosing the power supply in this beastie isn't a problem.

    This is the inverter, which I believe is fine: http://www.super-laptop-parts.com/il...1-p-12866.html

    I've replaced all the caps but the main bulk cap as these are unlikely to blow.

    I'm getting a stable 5v on the output rail, and 24vac (strange) on the output of all 4 inverters. I looked at the switching waveforms on the scope and they're all square waves 50% duty and the same p-p. I will do some more testing at work tomorrow..

    The controller chip on the inverter is the INL837 which I can't find a datasheet for. I'm going to take the timer pin to 0v which apparantly stops the inverter from shutting down,

    The transformer secondaries are 459.5ohms and 445.5ohms which seems OK but i will be testing these on the works LCR meter. All the fets are good.

    A new panel for this display is £60. Can I repair the backlight in the LCD? Or buy new CCFLs? If so, where from?

    I thought the backlight was fine. Because when you turn it on the screen goes blue w/ logo for 2 seconds.

    I have a second working model but I don't want to open that one if I can help it... I will have a go at trying my "broken" inverter on my good panel.

    Any ideas as to what it could be? I've thrown a lot of info out there lol.

      You can repair Backlights IF the fault is the wiring,and this is very common,by simply rewiring them,particularly the return wires.The comparison of the transformers resistance is very close to the 3% which is the max that the majority of members use,but again maybe your LCR meter may be helpful with them.

          CCFL resistance all reading 0L (Probably above the 10M range of my meter).

          One CCFL Reads 1.6M, assuming its bust.

          Windings seem to have decent inductance. Also going to take out the cap on the soft-start pin tonight........ see if that makes any difference.

          Wiring looks OK but going to replace tonight hopefully. Anywhere I can get new ones for this model???

                  Vizio E55-E1 bad backlights or bad inverter?
                  by x_orange90_x
                  I just got this tv today and it appeared to have no backlight on. After taking off the rear cover and checking again in the dark I can see that MAYBE one quadrant is lit.. But still it's quite dim. I was going to check the LEDs with my tester, and I found LED 1 and LED 2 + pins on the wire from the inverter, but I couldn't identify a ground. Nonetheless I tried using a mounting screw on the inverter board and also the chassis as ground but regardless my tester reads 300 which is what it reads when there is no voltage draw.

                  I don't know how exactly to test the inverter itself. Is it...

                  APSINT3636VR 3600W APS INT Series 36V DC 230V AC Inverter/Charger schematic
                  by Gentian
                  I have a tripp-lite aspint 3636vr inverter charger which blow some of mosfet transistors. I replaced them repaired also the driver circuit and tested but the mosfets burn again.

                  It work very well as inverter and also as charger if I let the rear switch in auto mode (inverter) and charger only(charging) but in auto when I connect the feed line 220V AC first time it pass ok to line and start charging the batteries but when I remove the feed line it pass to inverter mode and if I do it again the second time when passing from charging to inverter the Main transformer start making a...

                  Insignia NS-LCD19-09 (PS OK, Inverter problem?)
                  by valvashon
                  For some reason I'm just not going to let this 19" TV defeat me. I guess because I have a schematic to work from I feel like I'm oh so close.

                  History- while adding a turn-on circuit I let a small screw roll under the power board. Worked through all of that circuitry, probably replacing a MOSFET and PWM controller that were not bad but I was following the service manual. Finally figured out that the power supply is in working order when the inverter section (for the backlights) is disconnected. When the +12 supply to the inverter is disconnected the +12 and +5 will come up...

                  A modified sine wave inverter + a grid tie inverter?
                  by eccerr0r
                  If I had a solar fed grid tie inverter (GTI), a modified sine wave inverter, and a power outage occurred, what would happen if you disconnected mains, backfed the modified sinewave inverter (MSI) into house power, and hooked up the GTI to the output of the MSI, would it work?

                  Next thing is trying to charge the batteries using solar power, but that's another issue ...

                  Sony KDL-46BX450 Inverter Troubleshoot Logic
                  by caseyjay_48
                  I am currently on a troubleshoot of 46” Sony KDL-46BX450 tv. I came back from Washington to Texas on medical emergency and had to leave all my tools up there. All I have is a couple of screwdrivers and a dvm. I wish to ask the community a troubleshooting question. Please forgive stupid questions as meds I am taking produce brain fog.
                  I have well maintained Sony KDL-46BX450. It went black one day. After turn-on, I get solid green light and Sony logo in screen center for about 1-2 seconds, then black. No blinking LEDs, no hissing. Flashlight test shows screen characters dimly viewable,...
