    Re: Surface Pro 4 dead - Main 8.5v power rail is 2v - Have good board to compare

    Hi, I'm working on a Surface Pro 4, decided to post on this thread to keep all the info in one place since it does not seem to be a popular repair.
    The device is not booting, I don't get the 8.5V that mattpd spoke about. I get 15V on source and gate of Q7002. None of the mosfets are shorted. I do get +3P3VAS. No voltages present on the BQ24770. None of the coils are shorted. I did reflow the IT8528VG but no difference. The usual suspects, diodes and resistor, are good also. Any guidance would be much appreciated, thanks.

      Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
      by jb_Bak
      Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

      Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
      Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
      CN6401
      Pin 01 NC
      Pin 02 NC
      Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
      Pin 04 "N/C"
      Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
      Pin 06 "GND": N/C
      Pin 07 "AC_OFF"...

      HP Pavilion 15-eh Board DAG7HAMB8F0 - CPU throttling to 0.4GHz (PROCHOT_EXT) and black screen
      by m1ch43lzm
      Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
      Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

      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...

      Driving a Sharp TCON/panel with a universal main board
      by advant
      This thread is about trying to get an Universal Main Board to work with a Sharp TCON and panel.

      I have a Sharp LC-46D85UN TV that has had a main board issue. Since this model is from 2009, I am not able to find an exact replacement of the main board. Instead, I decided to see if I can future proof this tv by getting a Universal Main Board (T53U21.2) from China to work with the Sharp TCON (CPWBX4291TPZA) and panel. The universal main board supports a 8 bit dual channel LVDS interface whereas the TCON requires a 10 bit dual channel LVDS input. I have modded the LVDS connector to match...

      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....
