    polaroid flm- 1514b power prob and fix!

    figured i would post this. Picked this up tonight for $10. Was sad to see screws missing but what the hell..

    the former owner said it would power on and off intermittently, most of the time it would just continously cycle power and you would have to unplug, replug several times before it would power up and work. Once on it would stay working..

    I confirmed the issue, plugged it in and the power would just cycle every couple seconds..

    Pulled her apart, caps are no name but all visually look o.k.

    On a hunch i replaced the small 22uf startup cap. Also reflowed some questionable but NOT obiously bad solder joints. Put the ps back in and she fired right up!! YAY one cap fixed this yes one.

    If i was keeping this i would probhably recap the entire supply and mainboard but for what im doing, shes done and ready to rock!

    Ive powered it on and off several times as well as unplugged, she fires up every time.

      Classic sign of a capacitor with high ESR. As the cap warms up, the ESR drops enough for the SMPS to start.

          so do you think if i would have heated that little cap with my iron the tv mightve powered on? if so mabye thats a technique i will employ in the future. ( woul dhave to put the iron on an iso though correct?)

              Some people use a hair dryer to heat up caps.

              If you are going to do a lot of TV repairs, it might be worth $50 to $75 to get an ESR meter.

              Maxxarcade, who is a member here, also has youtube channel and he has a number of videos posted (some very recently - 7 in the last 10 days) showing how he repairs TVs, LCDs, etc. He has one video showing his ESR meter and how he uses it to verify caps.

              And yes, he is in the acrade repair business.

                      My 1514B had a similar problem where it would start blinking after a few minutes and eventually turn off. I assumed it was the capacitor in the power supply shown here in this thread. It turned out not to be. I replaced that cap and it still had the problem. I finally traced it down to the 1000uf cap (the largest one on the main board). I figured while I had it apart I'd replace all of them. Works fine now.

                              Hello, I have an asus Z97-A motherboard and it doesn't start which was working properly before, the problem isn't related by ram, ram slots or psu (I changed all and nothing work), the exact problem is when you switch it on , it starts and after 1 seconds (no boot or display picture) it's off and then on cycle continuously until you power it off from psu also it's responding to the power switch for turning it off if you keep pressing it 3 or 4 seconds (power button pin has 3.3v) , also when you start it with eatx 12v socket connected this is happening (power cycle also all voltages are resetting...

                              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.

                              Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
                              by PantherDave
                              Hi all!

                              I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

                              I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

                              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...

                              Hi everyone and thanks in advance for any help I might get here

                              My Samsung TV is about 4 years old. The exact model number is UE75MU7009TXZG.
                              About half a year ago I started seeing occasional green frames pop up while watching movies. I mean literally green frames. Not the image turning green, but the entire screen turning green for a split second. This happened maybe once or twice during a 2 hour movie. So no big deal, but clearly something was not quite right.

                              Since a few days, the TV won't turn...
