    Re: Philips 42PF7320 plasma, strange problems

    The powerboard models for this TV have a cluster of dodgy 680uf 50v Samwha WB capacitors under a heatsink. Any cap that goes under it must be less than 30mm high. The only cap I can see that might be suitable and fits is the Rubycon 50ZLJ680M12.5X25.




    Is the Rubycon ZLJ's being rated 0.025 for impedance versus 0.020 on the Samwha WB going to be a problem? In other words, is the Rubycon ZLJ an appropriate replacement?

    Ok, so the 8A fuse giving 0.1 to 0.3 probably means it is still working normally? Does the lack of relay clicks specifically mean a fuse or fuseable resistor is blow?

    If this power supply board is effectively unrepairable, can I swap in any working LJ44-00101B / LJ44-00101C replacement powerboard, or is television model-specific setup required to supply correct and operationally safe voltages?

    Test these two resistors while the TV is off. I think they should measure 6.8 ohms each.
    The one on the left gives 6.8, the one on the right varies from 6.8 to 7.0. They both have 6.8 written on them.

    Test this fuse also while off. I think it should measure less than 1 ohm.
    It gives 0.1 to 0.3 if I touch the two points on the back of the PCB, and 1 to 3 if I touch the fuse directly on the front of the PCB.

    Also test the resistance of your meter leads - touch both probes together and note down the measured resistance.
    It jumps around alot and comes to zero.

    A multimeter is fairly cheap. Whereabouts are you?

    It's possible you now have a more serious problem. Can you post a picture of the power supply board? Then some tests can be highlighted.

    Subtly rounded sounds a lot like bulged to me. If they are not completely flat, they have failed, or are about to. It certainly sounds a lot like a power supply unable to cope with transient or sudden changes in loads, bad caps can cause that.

    Philips 42PF7320 plasma, strange problems

    This TV had two problems. It would intermittently drop into standby mode while operating. And when the entire display area changed between scenes at once, the panel would sometimes blank out for a moment.

    After dropping into standby, the TV would need to be unplugged and replugged before it would turn on again.

    I opened the service menu and an error 11 was registered. The service manual says this is an "I2C error while communicating with the 2D/3D combfilter Columbus". Could that have just been from low voltage?

    Then the TV wouldn't turn on at all - the relays clicked twice, the red LED showed momentarily then it clicked off.

    The front LED never displayed any blink codes except for the second to last time the TV turned on the front green LED blinked infinitely.

    There are no burst capacitors on the power board (a Samsung LJ44-00101B PS-424-PH Rev0.65) nor does anything there look cooked. But about 2/5ths of the caps have subtly rounded quadrants whereas the rest are totally flat on top. Is this some manufacturing variation or the result of pressure buildup? These are Samxon KMOD caps from 2005.

    I tried unplugging everything from the power board except the mains power connector. It still clicked thrice. After that, it won't click at all now. Is this normal behaviour when the PSU is in isolation? Does this indicate blown fuses? Would it be dangerous to the TV to plug everything back in and try again?

    I found a repair tips guide for the power board (search "Philips PS- 424-PH LJ44-00101C PSU.pdf" ) that describes how to provoke the power board to display an error code, but I don't have he necessary shorting jigs and am a bit wary of trying to connect the pins directly as they are so close together.

    Could this all still be consistent with just Samwha C8059/60 failures? The power board does seem to be the root of the problem but this is unlike the difficulties it has given others.
    So I'd be thankful of any tips.

    by celiabrown
    Hello guys,
    My Plasma Philips 37inch chassis FTL2.1 does no picture ,and goes into protection mode after 30 seconds (red led blinks at 3Hz).


    Can someone has any symptom like this ?

    Thanksโ€‹

    Philips 8200 series 65PUS8204/12 stuck at Philips Logo
    by G33RT
    Philips 8200 series 65PUS8204/12 stuck at Philips Logo, it does not reboot it just stays on the logo.

    It does power up when pressing the power button.

    I already try the power button while plugin the plug with no result.
    Also put the latest firmware autorun-TPM191E_R.001.004.100.000.upg on a MBR/FAT32 USB stick at USB port2 with no result either.

    Could this be an PSU or eMMC issue ?

    laptop hp g72 b52sf screen problems
    by jean luc ferre
    Hello,
    on this laptop hp g72 b52sf i have screen problems as you can see with the photo joined in attachments.
    the used graphic card is "intel hd graphics" and the id of the integrated screen is : "monitor/SEC3354".
    i verified the driver of the pรฉripherals and they are ok. i verified the definition and settings of the graphic card and of the screen : definition 1600x900 and refreshment frequency :60hz. (they are the sames for the graphic card and the screen).
    i don't understand the reasons of the white stripe at the bottom of the screen below the task...

    USB problems?
    by Hondaman
    Recently I discovered my SSD died (OCZ/Toshiba 240 GB). It was in a USB enclosure, attached to the Linksys WRT-AC1200 router. Since then I removed the USB enclosure and attached it to my Win7 PC (AMD 8150 CPU, 970 chipset, 64 GB RAM). I also gathered one or two other USB enclosures to figure out what is going on.

    (I suspect that I lost quite a few MP3 and FLAC files I recently ripped from my audio CDs, I think I lost very little un-replaceable stuff.)

    I think it is IMPOSSIBLE for Win7 to have any problems with a USB enclosure as long as Win7 knows how to speak to the...

    Philips 49PUT5801/98 PANEL PROBLEMS ON BOTH HALVES
    by limtk55
    So this Philips TV has backlight but no image. VGH voltage was 0, so decided to buy a replacement TCON board. Fitted new board to no avail. Now panel PCB control boards have multiple shorted MLCC caps on both sides. TCON ICs hot to the touch suggesting that panel drawing more current than usual (internal short?)

    Measured voltages on new TCON as follows :
    VGH (29.67V)
    VGL1 (-4.97V)
    VGL2 (-14.89V)
    VCC (3.282V)
    VCORE (1.202V)
    HVDD (7.95V)
    VDD (15.97V)
    VIN (11.98V)
    VCOM1 (4.25V)
    VCOM2 (4.63V)

    Removed caps that were...
