    Technika 32-407B starting problems

    Hi, got this tv that had starting problems, it would take several attempts to start, I found a cap leaking on the power board, so I changed 6 caps that I found on another site(can't find it now) said needed changing.
    It has been ok for a couple of months but now has starting problems again, this time the sound always starts but no picture, and you get a banging type noise, the hdmi logo will show but it will be dull, if it goes bright then the tv starts ok.
    I've found this pic of the power board on the net http://www.lcdtvparts.co.uk/index.ph...image&pID=1400
    The caps I changed are the six to the right, not the two at the top/right.
    If anyone can give me help with the faults I've described before I get the tv back, it would be great.
    Thanks.

    What brand and series of capacitors did you use?

      Hi, I'm not sure, I bought the best I could find on ebay, some were listed as panasonic but never had panasonic printed on them, I've just looked at my stock and I think some were called Suntan cd287, and some SD cd263
      Do you think it could be the same fault, I don't mind redoing them if these caps are not good enough.
      Thanks.

        It could be. There are several problems with "the best I could find on ebay". First, eBay is full of people selling counterfeit caps, reportedly only one eBay seller is reliable. Certainly I would be suspicious of a seller in Hong Kong who claimed to be selling Panasonic caps.

        Second, even buying genuine Panasonic caps is no guarantee that they will last. the vast majority of Panasonic (or any other brand) caps are unsuitable for this application. The caps must also be suitable for use in a SMPS power supply. For Panasonic, that means FM Fr, and possibly FC series

          Ok cheers PlainBill,
          Where would be best to get the caps from, I'm in uk, and what do I look for them to be suitable, I went for 105c low impedance, would buying from a shop be better/

          Thanks.

            Hopefully one of the many gentlemen (or even one of these who isn't) from the UK who frequent this site will offer suggestions. RS, Farnell, and Maplin? are some of the suppliers I recall being mentioned.

              cheers bill, I've ordered a full set and more from Farnell, mainly rubycon, I picked the best I could see, at least I'll know if it's the caps.

              Thanks.

                Statements like that give me the chills. There are half a dozen brands of caps that are reputed to be good. The most widely available are Panasonic, Rubycon, United Chemicon, and Nichicon. I happen to prefer Panasonic; I won't quibble with anyone who prefers others of these brands.

                In the Panasonic line FM, FR, and FC are suitable for use in a switch mode power supply, M, RB, and NHG are not. Presumably a similar situation exists in the Rubycon line.

                  I got one panasonic that's FM series, the rest are Rubycon ZL/ZLH/ZLG/ZLJ
                  Any idea if the ZL's are ok?

                  Thanks.

                    I should have done this earlier; my bad. The 'What Caps Should I Buy' thread in the 'Frequently Asked Questions' section has the answers. They don't list the ZLJ series, so I looked it up. At a quick glance, they are good.

                        Rubycon ZL* series caps are very good. Almost too good for a TV power supply. Low ESR caps are important, but even a less than superb low ESR cap would probably be fine, and cost less too. Remember the originals were probably garbage. IMO, lifespan is more important than ultra low ESR in this kind of application.

                          Ok got the caps(very quick service from farnell) fitted them and still the same, so it seems the caps on the power board are not the problem, unless it's another that's not been changed.
                          I've just tried a few things and I'll post back later, as I need the tv to cool down before trying again.

                          Thanks.

                            Still no good, I thought I found something as I tried the scart connection instead of the hdmi and it worked, but it seems it was coincidence as it's back to the same problem.

                            What's happening is, when you turn on, the power light flashes for about 10 seconds, then the hdmi signal comes on the top right, then it should go bright and the picture and sound comes on, if you have no signal a yellow "hdmi no signal" comes in the centre, but you can see it's not bright enough, when you have a signal the sound comes on sometimes, other times it makes a noise like a tuned car engine, after several attempts to start it does eventually start, it then works fine till the next time you turn it on.

                            Thanks.

                              Got it sorted, I checked best I could all the connections, I resolder as many as possible, one smd cap looked like it could have been a cold joint,
                              anyway put it together and starts first time every time now.

                                HI,
                                I was reading your post about the issue you eventually solved. I have the same TV exhibiting the same symptoms. Can I ask you a couple of question?

                                1. In your final post, did you check all connections to all the boards & solder all connections on all the boards too or just the PSU?
                                2. Can you try to direct me to the SMD cap that you reckon could have been at fault too?
                                3. Was your PSU PSA-218-417-R? If so, which caps did you end up replacing?

                                Thanks a mil,
                                Steve

                                  This is going back a while, the best I remember is:
                                  1. Just the psu
                                  2. Sorry no, can't remember
                                  3. It was the one in the pic, replaced the caps down the right side,
                                  The original fault was the caps, but after the second fault and changing all the caps it was the same, I just went all over with my iron and it must have been a bad joint.
                                  Thanks.

                                    Thanks for the response. Yes, mine is the same as pic so I'll replace the same caps & go over the solder joints too. I'll post up here on how I get on as there may be others out there in the same boat.

                                      I have a problem with the same power board.
                                      My simptoms is that the board doesn't start at all.
                                      I look everywhere for a schematic of this, but no luck.
                                      Somebody on this forum knows something about this?

                                        power supplies that wont start - start by replacing startup capacitors.
                                        they are usually under 100uf

                                          Hello Team,

                                          I'm back with another backlight issue that I thought was simple, but it turned out to be more complex than expected.

                                          Let me provide a brief history: The TV was working well, then one day, the backlight started and shut down. I thought I had an LED issue leading to this behavior, so I replaced the LEDs with brand new ones. However, the issue remains the same.

                                          Next, I replaced the electrolytic capacitors attached to the LED power supply, but the results were the same. I then replaced the driver, a OB3365RP, and did it twice due to the same result....

                                          I have a really weird problem, this motherboard was working normally, someday it just started and all fans were running but didn't want to post, tried resetting bios, checking CPU and it was getting warm tried external gpu, flashed bios with programmer, but same problem.
                                          Next day after several attempts the board goes into protection mode, no more staying on, I turn on the PSU fans starts directly turning, it used to not start until I press the pwr button, now it starts directly and fans spins, and shuts off after 3 seconds sometimes less, then won't start again unless I unplug the PSU and...

                                          FSP-350GLN(80) not booting mobo properly

                                          Greetings

                                          My old 350W FSP-350GLN(80) PSU was working fine with my current computer for few years(and previously with few other computers as well). Nothing has changed in setup but since last few months I am getting problems while trying to boot PC.

                                          What happens, is that PSU starts and I can hear fans, both PSU, CPU, MOBO and GPU. I can also hear HDD scratching and normal starting sounds. But DVI monitor claims that there is "no signal". Moreover, neither USB mouse nor PS2 keyboard does flash leds like it should do upon boot.

                                          I have to turn PSU switch...

                                          Hello all,

                                          this is my first post, so if I make mistakes please do not hesitate to point them out, thank you in advance.

                                          I got a Dell Latitude 5420 (Service Tag: 7RFM6D3, Motherboard: GDF40 LA-491P Rev.: 2.0 (A01)) which does not start and I want to repair it. These are the symptoms:

                                          If the laptop is only connected to the AC adapter (battery removed):

                                          When I press the power button, the keyboard backlight and the display backlight are turning on. Caps key light is lightning, but key does not respond to pressing it.

                                          The power/battery...

                                          Acer Nitro 5 problem with RTX 3060
                                          by Spekter
                                          Hello,
                                          I have an Acer Nitro 5 AN515-58 laptop that behaves unusually.
                                          Namely, after every few starts, the RTX 3060 card is not visible. If it is visible after starting, it works without any problems.
                                          After starting NitroSense, if we force only discrete graphics to work, RTX is visible and works properly every time, unfortunately the laptop does not turn off every time - the system is shut down but the fans and keyboard backlight are still working.
                                          Has anyone had a similar case or is able to direct me to a solution to the problem?​
