    RCA LED65G55R120Q Power issue

    Well picked up this RCA LED65G55R120Q 65 inch off Craigslist that had a supposed power supply issue. The person said it would not power on and he needed to get rid of it because he was moving and did not have time to fix it. He had two spare power supply boards. Well I installed the spare board and still no power up, and no standby light. So I went and checked voltages.

    120v at the input

    Checked for 5v going out to main board and that was present.

    Looking at the main board I noticed the chip was damaged. So I believe this would be a main board issue since I have 5v going out from power supply?

    The pic is of the main board

    Looks it is HDMI related IC. So my assumption is that lightning killed it through one of the HDMI ports.

      Oops looks like I posted this in the wrong section, sorry.

      All I know is the person I bought it from said it used to work but it just stopped powering on one day and he went and ordered a power supply thinking that was the issue. He never got around to installing it and the power supply was still in plastic wrap. I installed it and still no power up or standby light. So checking voltages it had 5v going out to the main board so I looked more closely at that board and noticed that chip. Also when I went to pick up the set I didn't notice that he forgot to add the power and volume control keyboard so it is missing it. I don't think that would cause it not to power on since I have the remote.

        It's defintelly this board that is the problem, something more, i can't tell, but this one you should replace, or try to fix it yourself.

          +1. so beside blown HDMI IC, some other sections of the main board may be damaged also.

                Oh and does anyone by chance know the service menu code? I was wondering if there is a setting for the black light. The one posted in the manual above does not seem to work.

                Thank you

                  There should be Backlights level setting on the on screen user menu.

                    I did not see any and I looked pretty thoroughly too. I will go and take another look.

                      Ok i found the service menu code over in the following thread here.

                      https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...nu+code&page=3

                      There are a few different codes but the on that worked for me is

                      with tv on press
                      menu
                      1 1 4 7

                        Hi all, I know this is a very old thread-I just happened on it doing a search for some help with this same RCA set. Like the previous poster, my set will flash once every 3-5 seconds with only lines across the screen. Will not power on. I've confirmed 120v at the power board, only reading 3-3.5v going out of it. I read in Mr. Martin's troubleshooting guide I should have 5v standby, etc. With a reading of 3-3.5 do you blame a faulty power board?

                          Hi and thanks in advance for any input you might provide!
                          I have a Sceptre U550CV-UMRD8POTV83BB 4K LED (this is a dumb tv) that I bought new in August 2021, so It's just completed 3 years.

                          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...

                          Help Needed: Samsung UE55MU8000 Dead - Possible Main Board Issue
                          by Asraf Atb
                          Hi everyone,

                          Im looking for some advice regarding my Samsung UE55MU8000 TV with main board model BN94-11606C. The TV suddenly stopped turning on and now shows no signs of life at all not even the standby light at the bottom.

                          Initially, I suspected an issue with the PSU, so I took it to a repair center. They tested it and confirmed that the PSU works perfectly, even on other TVs. Based on that, I started investigating the main board.

                          I disconnected the main board from the PSU, and the backlight turned on, which seems to confirm the main board is the issue....

                          by shybear
                          hi,
                          This TV sometimes shut off itself surely for some bad contact of power supply board that (for use and heat) wasn't planar anymore.

                          Found a same on ebay at an affordable price and compared part number and component side components was exactly the same I bought it.

                          The board is perfect and new and the random shut off problem disappeared but there is a dark side on the screen that isnt' present with the old board.
                          Take a look on the back of the newe power board I noticed that this one hasn't some components (4 resistors and 3 transistor) that made me...

                          Is it possible to upgrade from a Vestel 17MB97 main board to a 17MB110 Main board?
                          by cheeky2
                          I suppose the real question is whether the existing pinouts from ether a 17IPS71 psu are cross compatible with a 17IPS12 psu? If they are then the exchange of the main boards should have no issues providing the screen is compatible with both main boards. Obviously you can change the screen configurations easily enough (providing you have the correct files) for the main board. Why may you ask would I do this? Well a lot of the smart features are no longer working on a Hitachi 48HBT62U main board I wish to give it a new lease of life!
                          Obviously the same LVDS connector for the screen connection...
