    Viewsonic PJ50D DLP Projector cuts out

    Hi all,
    does anyone have any info on Viewsonic PJ50D.
    My unit cuts out after about 30 seconds use.
    I suspect the power supply is faulty (possibly overheating) as the power indicator light goes out also and doesn't come back on for about 10 minutes.
    I pulled it down and carried out a visual inspection on the board and caps, all seems ok so i resoldered the board.
    Worked for one night but the problem returned the next day.
    Any ideas of common faults or links to circuit data etc would be appreciated

              Check all of the solder joints really carefully with a magnifying glass. Quite possible that some of them may be cracked.
              If possible, post some pictures of the boards here (but please use this forum's Manage Attachments feature rather than using an off-site host). Hopefully, that will also get more people to respond.

                  Thanks,
                  I have already resoldered the power supply board but didn't find any dodgy joints. I will pull it apart again soon and recheck and take some photos.

                  What i have also found is that if i leave the unit on standby it will always cut out after 30 seconds or so, but if I have it switched off at the wall until i am ready to use it the projector may go all night without a problem ???

                      Interesting. Perhaps the standby section of the power supply is doing something funny when it warms up. Definitely post some pictures, especially of the power supply.

                          Bose Companion 5 - Unit Powers On then Cuts Off Shortly After
                          by nobbnobb1
                          Hi guys,

                          Trying to salvage a Bose Companion 5 computer speaker system that powers off shortly after powering on. It's got a primary USB input (built in DAC) and an aux 3.5mm input. The USB appears to be the primarily source that tells the unit to power on (control pod LED goes green) as the unit has no power switch.

                          When I first connect power to the unit, plug in the USB, it will play audio nicely for a minute before it drops out and the unit appears to go into standby (control pod LED goes red). It stays in standby and I cannot seem to power it back on without physically...

                          Repair of an LG split AC system indoor unit PCB
                          by ngml
                          I am trying to repair an LG split AC indoor unit, which does not start and gives a CH05 error code.
                          This indicates an error in the communication between the outdoor and the indoor unit.
                          The outdoor unit is fine, so the problem is the indoor PCB.
                          The indoor unit is an LG PC09SQ NSJ (3SNM09JA2FA), and the PCB has the following type number: EAX35907219-1.2 (see photo1)
                          I changed optocouplers ICO1X & ICO2X and the NPN transistor S9013 which drives optocoupler ICO2X (see photo2), but this did not remedy the fault.

                          Does anybody have the schematics of this board,...

                          Garage door RX unit (Cardin S38C) does not short relay to send opening signal
                          by CoinCoin88
                          Hello everyone,

                          I'm turning to the Badcaps community to help me troubleshoot the radio Rx card from my (old) garage door opener. While I could just ditch that card and replace the whole system, I first would like to understand "why" it suddenly stopped working, because that's just how I am wired...!

                          Some basics: the receiver works on a 30.875 Mhz frequency. Yes, I'm aware this is not in use anymore in a looot of places. It does not use any rolling code, it's just a regular dip-switch code that you have to set up on both the receiver and transmitter. The receiver...

                          Unit runs but no speaker output kenwood KR-6030
                          by DrDos
                          I have finished my work. The new lights come on except the one for stereo, I reversed the bulbs to no affect, anyway, the unit powers on, relay clicks. I have no DC voltage in speaker outputs, I also do not have any AC in the speaker outputs. There is some faint crackling in the speaker. This unit cranks up loud so I had the volume on very low. Everything seems to be fine but I can't really check the switch until I can get sound out of the outputs. I was going to do caps for the power supplys and the tone board but thought if it was cranking loud at one time maybe just leave it alone until it...
