    Troubleshooting LG Flatron M4715CG

    Hey guys.
    I just recently purchased a second hand LG Flatron M4715CG for $50. It is a unit that was used at Fox 8 News that they were throwing out because of power supply issues.

    I really don't know much about the technical standpoint of electronics but I would love to try and fix this thing myself.

    Background:
    The day I got it, I hooked it up to my computer and it worked fine. That night, I powered it down, but left it plugged in. The next day, I was going to use it again, so I powered it on and it displayed normally for 5-10 seconds - the screen then went black. I cannot tell if the backlight is on or not. What I can tell you is that the LG logo on the bezel will flash every two seconds, followed by an electronic click.

    At the moment, I am just wanting to determine what the issue is, or at least rule out what it's not. If it would be helpful, I can take a video of the issue.


    I stumbled upon this thread, but wasn't sure how relevant it was. https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?p=277325

    Thanks,
    Clint

          ASUS ROG G513QY – RX 6800M powered but not detected intermittently + random crashes (Motherboard: 6050A3254002-MB-Axx)
          by EvazX
          Hello everyone,

          I am working on an ASUS ROG G513QY laptop with RX 6800M dGPU.
          Originally, this laptop was completely non-functional. I replaced the motherboard (part number 6050A3254002-MB-Axx), and with the replacement board it started working fine.

          For a long time, the dGPU worked perfectly stable. I played several hundred hours on very demanding games such as Cyberpunk 2077 without any crashes, instability, or detection issues. Performance was excellent and there were no warning signs of failure.

          However, after some time, the replacement motherboard...

          LG Flatron W2361V PSU Troubleshooting
          by electrophoros
          Hi everyone.

          I am trying to troubleshoot this computer screen which went black and won't power on after a power surge.

          I have measured the output voltages and there seems to be proper voltage pressence on the 5V outputs, there is no voltage on the 22V outputs and I am unsure of what I should be measuring on ADIM, BDIM, EN and OLP.


          There also doesn't seem to be any voltage on the backpanel outputs:


          I have already identified and replaced two bulging electrolytic capacitors, and there is voltage after the fuse.

          practical courses for troubleshooting pc motherboards
          by blues_spirit
          Hello from France,
          mon2 kindly advised me to post a thread to ask the question(s) I'm concerned about. I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for practical courses for troubleshooting pc motherboards especially laptops in Europe, if possible in France. I have been a computer network system administrator and a corrector of administration modules for automated programs under Unix. But I really miss the practical "ops" side of troubleshooting. So I would like to start from the beginning: 1.8V, 3.3V, 5V and 19V tests for example, etc...
          Do you think this is feasible for me? I...

          Acer Aspire E5-571G-52NH powers on, no picture. PCH_ENVDD goes off and on.
          by sergio_av
          Hi, I'm unexperienced with troubleshooting and I'm not sure how to proceed with this laptop.
          Motherboard is A5WAH LA-B991P I think, i5-5200U and nvidia 820m.

          When I received the laptop, CMOS battery had 0V. I took it out and all the testing has been done without a CMOS battery and without the main battery plugged in, I haven't been able to see physical damage, burnt or missing components with a quick visual inspection, and no shorts were found.
          Laptop charges the battery, powers on when ON button is pressed when powered from charger and when powered from the battery, but...

          Samsung UN39EH5003FXZA won't stay powered off
          by Hannibal_Hector
          Hello,

          Purchased a broken Samsung UN39EH5003FXZA (Version CD01) to have fun fixing. When I first acquired it, I did not connect any video signals and only plugged it into the wall. The unit booted and showed the “no signal” window and I could navigate all menus and change sources. I unplugged it, connected my over-the-air antenna to the coax, powered it on, got the unit to scan the HDTV channels, and I think then the TV self-shutdown with the melody. When I powered back up (melody), it would show the channel selected on the OSD and after a couple of seconds, it self-shutdown...
