    Prive 32" LCD TV Red Blinking Light

    Hi this is a Prive 32" LCD TV.. similar to the Soyo. Original customer complaint is that it won't turn on.. you just get a red blinking light on the front panel.

    Customer already bought replacement power supply board, it didn't solve his problem. I checked the replacement PS board.. all the caps test fine ESR wise. Checked output voltage. The only thing I'm getting is 5VDC.. there is no 12VDC at all.

    Checked the caps in the power distribution board.. they all test OK.

    Decided to check all the caps on the logic/video board. The caps marked in black on the photo are bad.

    Any thoughts about the lack of 12VDC? Thanks!

    Most LCD TVs only have a standby supply running (3.3 or 5 volts usually) until the unit is turned on. Apparently the main board is not telling the power board to turn on. That is why you don't have 12 volts.

      Thanks for the info. Couldn't wait for any more feedback here so I ended up bringing the board to another technician where I live who has more experience than me.

      After a few tests.. he confirmed the board was faulty.. so I guess the customer is sending it back for RMA.

        Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
        Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

        Problem

        This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

        TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
        by howardc64
        All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
        • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
        • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

        by pc_okay
        Hello friends,

        I have this laptop AMD Platform starting & not posting, fan spinning.

        When i press power button, the board get almost immediatly 0.5A ~ and board get stuck at 0.5A with power button led blinking indefinitly.
        If i stop the computer (pressing 5s power button), board stop and when i restart i get approx 0.37A ~ and


        I try to reflash the bios with no luck, same result, and i try disabling onboard ram (i remove resistors accordling schematic), no more progress.

        CPU and his area heat, maybe the cpu is dead?
