    Sony KE-32TS2 Plasma with Sparkles

    Does anyone have a procedure for fixing a problem with Sparkles on this model TV? I replaced a blown power supply on this set last year. The only adjustment on the power supply is a multi-position switch that was set and glued in place from the factory - it was set to the same position as the defective power supply.

    Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

    Re: Sony KE-32TS2 Plasma with Sparkles

    I had good luck in replacing the Vs capacitors (the big can electrolytics.) In mine they were bulged. Sparkles are still there, but much less, maybe only three or four on the entire screen every frame, which might be due to the panel aging or due to some other caps, but it's far better than it was.

    The caps in mine were Samyoung KMH 560uF 250V and were replaced with Chemi-Con KMH 560uF 250V.

      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.

      Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
      by sam_sam_sam
      I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

      One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

      Panasonic P42S30 Plasma - Pink sparkles
      by Lintesir
      My parents' Panasonic P42S30 died recently, and they asked me to have a look at it. I was able to identify the SN-board as the culprit, as it was shorted. After removing Q401, Q402, Q421 and Q422 the short was gone, so I replaced these components and that got the TV working again. However, when testing the tv a bit, I noticed quite bad pinkish sparkles on some colors. For instance the greyish bar on this forum seems to trigger it quite badly. I made a fullscreen test picture with only that color, with the below result.

      There is about a 5cm high region at the top without any sparkles,...

      Samsung Plasma TV Power Supply Issue
      by lp20th
      I have a vintage 2008 Samsung 50” Plasma TV, Model code PN50A550S1FXZA with a power supply part number BN44-00222A. I repaired the power supply board several years ago finding a couple of cold solder joints on the back side of the board and it's worked great up until now. Recently a fried sound occurred with the smell of burnt electronics and the TV shut down. Trying to turn it back on yielded the typical relay clicking with no TV boot up. Upon investigation, removing feeds to the other boards within the TV it was found that disconnecting the logic board from the power supply allowed the...

      Sony SLV-E780 Power Supply Issue – Clicking Sound, Need Help Identifying Faulty Component
      by Akuanka
      Hi everyone,

      I'm troubleshooting a power supply issue with a Sony SLV-E780 VCR. The device clicks repeatedly but doesn't power up completely. I've already replaced five capacitors, but the problem persists.

      Here's a video link https://photos.app.goo.gl/3Xki6yvCLn67gLX78​ showcasing the sound. Based on your experience, could this be due to a transformer, diode, or another component? Any guidance on what to test or replace next would be greatly appreciated.

      Thanks in advance for your help!
