Re: LCD Not Working

Is there a PayPal thingie here. I could throw some cash in the pot to help the site!

No, but maybe for the Sharp TV, badcaps.net might have all the caps necessary?

Re: LCD Not Working

The one cable that is a "zero insertion" type was not in all the way.....

OK had some supper...plugged in my camera for a source and WALLA! It works. Just amazing.

You had supper first? Where are your priorities?

Glad you got it working.

Re: LCD Not Working

Hey guess what......Opened up the "input board" cover. The one cable that is a "zero insertion" type was not in all the way.....

I've got menus now. Just have to plug in a source and see what happens.

You guys are great. So now I will attempt that Sharp for my buddy.

Re: LCD Not Working

Wellllllllll.....the power supply is inside. Then you have to put the back on and then plug in the board that handles all the inputs. I grab a pic of the "input board" it's easy. And check the connections of course.

What a crappy design.

Re: LCD Not Working

Red light....pushed the power button.........green light, screen lit up. Buttttttttt then I tapped the "menu" button and nothing happened, same goes for the "source" button.

Double check all your connections between the boards. These connectors can be fragile and may not be securely in place.

It would help if you could post an "overall picture" with everything connected (using manage attachments and not inline) so we can see the "big picture".

Then we need a close up picture of each individual board (including the power board with the new caps).

Re: LCD Not Working

Progress !

OK I put in all the caps and put it together. Stood back and plugged her in ready to yank the plug.

So now what???

Re: LCD Not Working

I also checked United Chemi-con and Nichicon low ESR 470uF 35V caps and digikey also have none of them in stock. Badcaps.net doesn't sell 470uF 35V Rubycons.

Perhaps some big company needed a lot of 470uF 35V caps for an upcoming xmas product?

Re: LCD Not Working

Well that's it for Caps. Order is placed. I swapped out the 22uf as per your advice.

Stay tuned for update!

RetiredCaps....you have been a big help so far!

Re: LCD Not Working

For cap #6, Normally, I would suggest the 470uF 35V FM series (versus FC), but I see the FM has zero stock. So FC is a suitable choice.

Mouser has zero stock of the 470uF 35V FM as well. 21 week lead time!

Re: LCD Not Working

BTW what does "low ESR" mean? At mouser I could just select "low ESR" but at DigiKey the filters are set up different.

ESR = equivalent series resistance (ohms). Some datasheets refer to it as impedance as well.

If mouser is $8 shipping and you have an account there, it might be easier for you to stick with mouser.

Re: LCD Not Working

Ay! LOL Where are you located. I'm in Southern Ontario.

Well I went through Mouser. Cuz I have an account there already. It's hit and miss. So Didikey is next try. Mouser ships to me via USPS for $8.

OK Caps round two!

Re: LCD Not Working

PS. Despite the ".ca" both companies ship their caps from the USA. So, Canadian customs, as per usual, might delay the package. And it is holiday season so it make take a bit longer to get it than "normal".

Re: LCD Not Working

Does this look like what I'm after???

I see you edited out the Panasonic FM and put in FR. AFAIK, FR is the new "series" and is equivalent to FM in terms of "performance" and "characteristics".

Re: LCD Not Working

I see you updated your country profile.

Yes, that is the correct mouser url for Panasonic FM caps. IIRC, smason, another fellow Canadian here, orders from digikey.ca and gets his caps in usually less than 48 hours.

You can choose mouser.ca or digikey.ca. I believe digikey is cheaper in terms of shipping ($8 USD) to Canada than mouser.ca ($20).

If ordering from digikey.ca, I usually put this in the search field to quickly narrow down the right parts ...

"1000uf 16v fm"
"1500uf 16v fm"
"47uf 35v fc"

Since it costs $8 for s/h, you might as well get a spare cap or two and other electronic components to offset the $8.

Re: LCD Not Working

OK I'm looking at caps. Thousands upon thousands!

Does this look like what I'm after???

Hmm, I looked through badcaps.net stock and they have no stock in either Rubycon or Samxon for caps 1 and 2.

All the others are available, but I would hate to pay shipping/postage twice to get some caps from here and others from another supplier.

Digikey has all the caps in Panasonic FM except 47uF 35V which is available in FC.
