    LG 50PG20 power issue (with pics)

    i have an LG 50PG20 plasma television and the other night it randomly turned off in the middle of the game i was playing. it did not go to standby mode (no red light under the power button), it was like it was unplugged at that instant. i waited a couple minutes and the tv just turned back on all by itself. did this dance a couple more times and has been fine for a couple of days and tonight the ghosts came back to haunt the tv. my first thought was to faulty solder joints on the power supply board or bulging capacitors. no faults found that my untrained eye could see there. i have power from the wall to the tv.. any help from the experts would be most appreciated! here are some pics:

          I'm not an expert, I'm not even allowed to play one on TV.

          In the lower right corner is the connector to the main board. The contacts are identified, which helps. You are looking for one labeled PS/ON or something similar. If that is always on, the problem is in the power supply, or points toward the home circuit breaker. If that switches hi to low, the problem is on the main board.

              They are likely larger than 2000 pixels vertical or horizontal. They have to be resized. I use the simple "paint" on windows.

                  Re: LG 50PG20 power issue (with pics)

                  i found tonight that when the tv turns itself completely off, if i tap on the top of the unit, it turns back on...strange.. leads me to believe i have a loose connection somewhere.. but i made sure all of the connectors were tight when i had the back off.

                  PlainBill, i'll do some more testing using your method. thank you for the advice!

                      Certainly - a bad solder joint, or bad cable, or bad power cord, or power cord not plugged in completely. I had one service call where the lady had carefully labeled every cord before moving. When she got to the new location, she carefully plugged in each power cord. On one of them the label interfered.

                          also of note, the television only powers off when in use, not when its in standby mode. i searched and the power supply board is still available. i may end up going that route if need be.

                              can anyone explain why the tv does not exhibit its shutting off symptom when in standby mode and only under the load from a video game, blu ray player or cable box?

                                  When it's on, it will heat the boards and connectors. When in stand-by, it's cold.

                                      makes sense. i'm thinking the relay on the main board is bad and when it heats up it turns the set off..

                                          Very unlikely. Start at the AC input connector and work your way to the bridge rectifier looking for questionable solder joints.

                                              by justice171
                                              I am seeking guidance on an Acer Spin 1 SP111-33 that does not turn on when pressing the power button.

                                              Below are the observations and troubleshooting steps I have taken so far: Observations and Tests:
                                              1. Verified that all critical voltages are present:
                                                • 3.3V and 5V are always present if DC is plugged.
                                                • 1.8V on the BIOS chip is present.
                                              2. Checked the power button functionality:
                                                • When pressed, the voltage drops to 0V, indicating the button is functional.
                                              3. Inspected the flex cable connecting the USB, audio, and power button to JUB1:
                                                • Confirmed connectivity is intact, ruling out issues
                                              ...

                                              hi guys, my motherboard will not start no matter what
                                              when connected to ac power, the battery does get charge, led indicator glows red when discharged and turns white as it is fully charged.
                                              but rest nothing happens no sign of life.

                                              this laptop has one preexisting usbc power issue - so i use DCIN jack for charging my laptop.
                                              with this issue my laptop was unable to power ON only sometimes i just had to wait some time.
                                              but now nothing happens no matter how much i wait/ charge/ press and hold power button.

                                              i have no knowledge of motherboards ....

                                              Laptop Power Issue – Works on Battery, Fails on Adapter Load
                                              by yaya3gmax
                                              Dell laptop (E7440, uses the notorious CD3301B power controller + MEC5075 EC + BQ24715 charger IC)
                                              Symptoms:
                                              • Laptop works normally on a pre-charged battery.
                                              • Battery does not charge when adapter is connected.
                                              • Without battery:
                                                • Laptop powers on from DC adapter, passes CPU/RAM init checks, then cuts DC power abruptly.(seems to shutdown one of the mosfets in the charger path). Then the loop continues indefinitely
                                                • Speakers “pop” when power cut occurs indicating harsh sutdown.
                                                • If RAM is removed, the system shows RAM missing blink error code indefinitely without cutting DC power
                                              ...

                                              by SuperJames
                                              This one's a weird one, and still unsolved despite it having gone back to Dell once.

                                              Specs

                                              i7-8750H, GTX 1060 Max Q, 500GB SSD & Seagate 7mm 1TB HDD. 17.3 IPS screen. This has the fingerprint reader in the power button.

                                              Backstory

                                              I bought this from eBay, from a wallpapering shop. £650 in 2020 which was a good price considering it's a gaming laptop. Physically it's in perfect shape, apart from the hinge mounts on the palmrest failing in the time I've had it (I have a new palmrest for it). The usual thin plastic crap modern build quality!...

                                              Hi everyone,

                                              I am trying to fix a samsung washinmachine power supply main board.
                                              I already replaced it with another one to fix the machine but i want to try understand the issue with the old board.
                                              Therefore i hope to be able to get some help to explain what to check in order to troubleshoot.
                                              The power supply board reference is the following: DC41-00189a
                                              I have followed one thread (https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...ingmachine-rel...
