    LG 50PS3000 not powering up

    Hi All
    First post here so be kind to the newbie.
    I have an LG 50PS3000 and when I power up the blue light flashes then a bright screen that looks like a colour negative appears for a couple of second then the TV clicks and powers off. I have been told it may be the power supply board shutting down due to a failing ZSUS board. Can anybody confirm and if so tell me how to identify the location of the offending ZSUS board so that I might get the part number and find a replacement.
    Thanks in advance.

      The operative word is 'might'. Replacing the Z-sustain because someone said it 'might' be the problem is a little like buying an expensive pair of shoes because someone said they 'might' improve your social life.

      The service manual is available at Elektrotanya.

      When you remove the back of the TV, the Z-sustain is on the right hand side, the Y-sustain on the left as you face the back of the TV. The standard troubleshooting process is to disconnect the power cables to the Z-sustain and turn the TV on. If it still won't power up the Z-sustain is NOT the problem. Reconnect the Z-sustain and unplug the Y-sustain power cable. Again, try to turn on the TV. If it STILL won't power up, the probable cause is the power supply. Try disconnecting both Y and Z sustains. If it now powers up, the problem is almost certainly the power supply.

      For a number of reasons, both health and personal, I will no longer be active on this board. Any PMs asking for assistance will be ignored.

      Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

          Sorry to drag up an old thread, but I have what sounds like the very same issue.

          It started with image retention showing over the main picture as a purple hazy picture. This has been going on for around a month. This morning the TV turned up, showed this purple haze, went white and went back into standby.

          Disconnecting power from Zsus or Ysys boards made no odds.

          Vs and Va are within spec during the short time before the TV goes back into standby.

          I'm no stranger to electronics but I haven't a clue with it comes to TVs - I've checked as much as I can find I should be checking, but now I'm out of ideas. Caps all look clean and flat.

              Just having a better look at this - I was mistaken when I disconnected the Zsus board.

              Disconnecting it does indeed keep the TV on. When leaving it connected, there is a loud whine from the zsus board before it switches the whole unit off.

              Any suggestions on where I should be looking for a component level repair? If I have to buy expensive boards to repair it, I may as well bin the TV and put the money towards a new one I wanted anyway.

                  Post the board number and some hi res shots. how expensive is too much?

                  For example there appears to be 3 or 4 types of ZSUS and this one $30 but shipping can be a killer.

                  Shorted out transistors would be where I'd start looking.

                      LG 55UH6150- trouble powering up, then half lit screen (pictures!)
                      by valvashon
                      The 55" LG has been in the basement for a few months without being used. Turned it on yesterday, set came on as it should and showed a complete screen for about 5 seconds (was on a broadcast channel but no antenna was connected), then the screen went mostly dark with about 1/3 of the screen on the right lighting up with brighter lines in that lit part (sorry, no pictures of that). Power LED was cycling too, preventing the TV from fully powering up.
                      Pulled the back off, all boards looked OK. Pulled the LED connector, turned the set on to see if it would power up but I don't belive it...

                      Asus 2021 ROG Strix G17 G713 not powering on and not charging.
                      by DarKHawK
                      Hi,

                      I have an Asus 2021 ROG Strix G17 G713 that is not powering on and not charging. Board number is G533-6050A3250201.
                      When plugged in, I found that the 3.3v/5v regulator was getting extremely hot, so I removed, next I found a short on the 3.3V rail. Removed the two 3.3v mosfets and found one of them shorted, but still the short on the rail did not clear. Then I injected voltage at that rail, and found out that U60400 the 2.5v rail was also getting hot. Removing it changed the short from 0 ohms to about 5-6 ohms, then I remove a bunch of other suspect components but that did...

                      Strange! Acer laptop not powering on but charging the battery (orange light on when charger and battery plugged in).
                      by serious_electron
                      Hello Everyone!

                      I have an Acer Aspire A315-42 laptop. I generally leave it on for long time by closing down its lid (so it enters the sleep mode). Recently, it rained quite heavily in out area. And the humidity and moisture seem to be high. So one late evening, after I opened the lid and turned on the laptop, it did power on as the blue light turned on but after it booted to the desktop screen, just 5-10 seconds after both the screen and blue light went out and laptop shut down (the blue power light turned orange). And after 2-4 seconds that orange light went off and the laptop died.                      ...

                      ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING — Board not powering on properly
                      by ShadowAi12
                      Hi,
                      I recently bought an ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING motherboard that was listed as "dead, not powering on." However, it does show some signs of life. I've performed several basic measurements and would like to share the results.
                      • The board enters a "ready to power on" state after plugging in the PSU.
                      • Pressing the power button increases power draw.
                      • Sometimes, touching the RSMRST_L pad with a multimeter probe causes the board to shut off and return to standby.
                      Measurements:
                      (taken after pressing the power button, while the board is attempting to start)
                      • H_SKTOOC#
                      ...

                      MacBook A2442 not powering on – suspecting CD3217, but replacement didn’t help
                      by TechSplendid
                      Hi All,

                      I'm working on a MacBook Pro A2442 (14", 2021) that's not powering on. On two out of three USB-C ports, I get 5V and the current briefly ramps up to around 0.210A before dropping to 0.036A. On the third port (JF600), I only get 0.0045A and it stays there.

                      Initially, I suspected a faulty CD3217 on that port, especially since I noticed signs of previous liquid damage near the JF600 USB connector. I replaced the CD3217 with an UF400 (from an A2442 donor board from the same location). According to the supplier, this should be a compatible version, but the behavior...
