    Tripping Sansui

    Sansui Model SV 2918.
    Works fine for a while.
    Then goes on tripping and auto tuning, impossible to stop with remote or locals.
    Customer doesn't want to spend a lot.
    I replaced caps in power supply, to no avail.
    I suspect the M/processor.
    Must I give up?

    Service manual.

    I'd check the voltage regulators on the main board.

      Thanks for the diagram. Appreciated.
      Set goes erratic; works fine for sometime, but suddenly starts tripping and then stops but keeps repeating auto tuning through the three bands, impossible to stop until switched off.
      I checked for dry joints carefully. None found.
      No caps looking bad or too hot.
      Power supply is a simple one.
      The customer told me the set had this problem some six months ago, and has been working fine for all that time until now.
      I don't want to spend much time with such nasty intermittent faults.
      It could be a stock fault on this model, do you think?

        This REALLY sounds like a bad solder joint somewhere; a common problem with lead-free solder.

          Maybe.
          I will check it once again, but shaking the PCB causes no interference or any alteration - I've tried that trick already a couple of times.
          I was going to waste a full can of quick freeze on some areas, but I decided not.
          Since the customer is not keen on repairing it - no money - I will not spend much more time on it.
          But I get very frustrated no to be able to find the culprit!

            SANSUI SLEDSC-32HD TV not booting, No stand-by led
            by Neddsme
            I have a 32 inch Sansui android TV that stopped booting. i checked the motherboard for any power failures but it seemed OK to the best of my knowledge. The TV does not have a dedicated power supply board so i could not do any isolation but here is a list of all the things i think were relevant to test.
            if i missed anything you let me know;
            DDR (1.5V) = 1.484V
            VDDC = 1.000V
            VDDC_CPU = 1.151V
            VDD1V2_DM = 0.000V
            3V3_STB = 3.315V
            3V3_M = 3.307V
            1.8V_M = 1.803V
            ALL KEYS = 3.310V
            5V_STB = 5.142V
            5V ...

            Chasis bond to neutral to overcome oven tripping problem
            by schnauzer2021
            Hi,

            I have a 6 years old Rowenta table top oven. The oven have both convection and grill function.
            Last Christmas I used it to roast a turkey with the convection mode for about 4 hours without any problem. When I switched to grill mode to deep browning the turkey for the final half hour, the power trips after a while.

            I have not been using the oven since then. Last week, when I try to use the oven again, both convection and grill mode trip the power supply a few minutes after turning it on.

            As I was too busy with my work, I leave it to the repairman...

            Beko Tumble Dryer DTLCE80021W cutting out/tripping RCD
            by spleenharvester
            This dryer is several years old and has previously had a new motor cap. Currently it's behaving erratically - sometimes it finishes the cycle fine, other times it cuts out after a random period of time (just stops with no LEDs as if it has finished normally), and occasionally it trips the RCD. There's always steam coming off the clothes at the time it cuts out.

            Going to pull it apart tomorrow, before I lob a new heating element at it is there anything else worth checking? It's £70 for a new heating element and the whole machine only cost £180 to begin with...

            Cheers

            Sansui 37" LCD TV Model SV-3715TLCD Standby voltage tripping
            by angelos
            Hi Guys,
            This one is a real head scratcher. My +5V STBY is fluctuating. The PFC circuit does not operate but is also pulsing. I dont get +400V on my mains smoothing cap but rather 330V DC which is correct since our incoming supply is 220V AC.
            I have narrowed it down to a PFC circuit problem but dont have the spares to repair it without having to wait months for my spares to arrive. I suspect that the OB2262 chip which operates the PFC circuit might be to blame but i dont measure any funny resistance measurements on that 6 pin chip with regard to ground. I have scoped my output from...

            ASUS PRIME Z690-P - "Motherboard Impossible"
            by DynaxSC
            Today I received an allegedly broken ASUS PRIME Z690-P DDR4 motherboard.

            The seller of the board has written the board sometimes starts, sometime not, and it is not stable, crashes sometimies during operation in Windows.

            I powered the board, and it went straight to the BIOS screen, showing BIOS version 0407.

            After first next reset the board surprisingly went directly into BIOS update screen and started without asking a BIOS update and it correctly updated the BIOS to version 1620 !

            There was no pendrive with an image attached to the board, only...
