    TV Philips 40PFT4101/12 - power on loop

    TV is Philips 40PFT4101/12, power supply 715G6934-P01-000-002M, motherboard 715G6947-M002-000-004Y (703TQGPL068).
    The problem is that when it is plugged in, the TV turns on by itself, the Philips sign appears, the backlight turns on and off a couple of times, and the TV turns off, and so it repeats itself in a circle. It does not respond to the remote and nothing is written on the screen, the red light does not blink.
    A few weeks ago, it used to turn on by itself about once a week, but after that it worked, now it doesn't work.
    I checked the power supply, voltages are fine, no swollen capacitors.
    I disconnected the T-CON cable and the same thing happens.
    The only thing I noticed is that the double diode D9121 heats up a lot together with the cooler.
    Does anyone have an idea what this is about and what to do?

    Backlights flashing on and off could indicate a bad LED. Do you have LED tester?

    How long do backlights turn on? Is it a quick flash and off or stay in a few seconds

      I don`t think that LED is bad, it is just a quick flash and then it lights up for 15-20 secunds and then TV restarts.

        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...

        Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue
        by GLISIT
        Hi all,

        TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


        I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

        A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

        Acer Nitro 5 LA-L181p power LED turns on by 5 secs (Short on PCH rail?)
        by Victor Moreira Silva
        Hello everyone,

        I'm trying to repair my old Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-54-55T5). I've already bought a new laptop, so this is more of a learning project. For the experience, with no high expectations of success.

        Well, my decice specs are the following:

        Model: Acer Nitro 5 AN517-54-55T5
        CPU: Intel Core i5-11400H
        GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
        Motherboard: GH51G LA-L181P Rev:1c

        The symptom:
        When pressing the power button, the power LED lights up for about 5 seconds and then turns off. Initially, the issue was intermittent: sometimes...

        Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
        by sam_sam_sam
        I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

        One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

        Insignia NS-LCD019-09 issue: Power light turns blue for 3 seconds, the flashes red before going solid read again
        by cajoeg
        Hello, I'm new to the group and to trying to repair a LCD TV. During the past few years, I've been collecting/repairing/restoring vintage personal computers (Commodore, Apple II, Atari, TRS-80, Texas Instruments, and Timex Sinclair). This has been my retirement hobby. Now I've gotten interested in trying to repair a LCD TV that I have and used regularly when working on vintage computers.

        The LCD I'm working on is a Insignia NS-LCD019. I've downloaded the service manual that I could find, but it must be a different revision since not too many items in the service manual match the TV...
