    Re: Dell 2209wa - momentarily blinks every two seconds [ Video + Audio + Service Manu

    Thanks, and thanks for the answer.

    No, I don't expect anyone here to educate me on things that are easily looked up, but it sounded like something useful to know for future repairs. I've done two here so far, so a third is probably on the horizon. I just find RMS inherently hard to intuit, but I think I found what was missing for me to do it now that I've looked it up.

    Since I've tried to stay away from AC and line voltages in order to keep this hobby alive (i.e. me) I've also never reflected on that they're expressed in V RMS. So it was basically 230/0.707, assuming a sine wave. And that's presumably the peak amplitude then. That makes sense.



    I thought I'd compile a list of steps that I should have taken to find the fault as quickly as possible. Maybe it'll help someone like me:

    1. The problem didn't appear immediately after a cold start β†’ probably overheating.
    2. Open it up, power it on, wait for the problem to appear and then blow on one PCB at a time with a fan until the problem goes away.
    3. When you've isolated the faulty PCB, blow on a single component at a time (I used a tube made from a rolled up sheet of paper), and/or drop alcohol on them, until you know which one it is.
    4. Measure diodes and transistors in the vicinity for shorts. And for blown fuses...that don't look like fuses, aren't called fuses, and don't look blown.

      Panasonic P58V11B 8 and 12 blinks error "fix"
      by Biruslapio
      Bought this TV used not working, panel flashed briefly on power up and it was blinking 8 times, a quick look on SS board revealed a common fault on the 3uF 250V capacitors, C201 to C205 (C1620X in the service manual), the solder joints were all cracked, C201 and C205 pins were darkened and some sparking had occurred on them, C201 was split open and clearly overheated in its last hours, replaced that one and resoldered the others, 8 blinks fixed.

      Also the previous owner broke the antenna connector by taking the TV out of the wall mount forgetting to unplug it, I desoldered the tuner...

      Lenovo Legion 5 high fan spin turns off after 34 seconds
      by twonk9098
      Hi all,

      I have a Lenovo Legion 5 with a Ryzen 7 series CPU and RTX 3070 GPU. My issue is that it turns on and all seems fine except after a few seconds the fans spin up high and the laptop turns off after 34 seconds.
      I can get into bios and can even boot and login to Windows however after 34 seconds no matter if Im at the bios screen or booted into Windows it will just turn off.

      I have managed to run HWmonitor and the temperatures of the CPU and GPU are fine, I can also touch the heatsync which is warm but not hot.

      I have tried a few new bios but exactly...

      Looking for help with a Viewsonic VP230mb where the backlight comes on only momentarily
      by lostone
      Hello, I came here after finding some similar questions asked on other monitors and hope someone here can help me get an ancient Viewsonic VP230mp (23" 4:3 LCD) back to working condition.

      First a little background, I have a background in computer and electrical engineering, and I'm smart enough to know I know nothing about LCD displays and how they work. For this topic I'm as green as they come.
      When the display is turned on the viewsonic logo displays in the uppper left for 2 seconds then the screen goes black, the power LED is green (on) and when a computer is connected...

      Sony XR-55X90J 4 blinks
      by Nicktronic
      Hey guys, got this Sony that turns on momentarily and then goes black with 4 blinks of the standby light. I can't find a service manual, but best guess was the Local Dimming board based on a similar TV saying LD_ERR or BCM_ERR. I found a replacement, but it didn't work. Before I put more money into replacement boards, Im wondering if anybody has seen this issue and what worked for them, or has the service manual for this specific TV.

      Thanks!...

      Panasonic TC-P55ST50 8 blinks then no blinks
      by Andre Gilbert
      Hello! yes I know there is already lots of information about this issue. I have a Panasonic TC-P55ST50 that originally displayed an 8-blink error code. Following the troubleshooting flowchart, I ended up replacing the SS board. However, even after replacing it, the issue persists. The TV turns on and stays on without displaying an image, and continuity is confirmed on all connectors. What am I missing hereπŸ€”?
      Ok Im a mechanical engineer ...but I thought I was able to follow a rather simple flowchart for electric troubleshooting πŸ˜‚.

      TV Model: Panasonic TC-P55ST50
