    3 little 'uns

    Got given three small LCD tv's today, all "disposable"

    Beko 20"
    Matsui 20"
    and a Tecknika 19" with onboard DVD player

    All are stuck in standby, the Matsui appears to have some faulty FETs on the PSU board, the Tecknika has two 1000uF 25v bulging caps labelled J.d
    The Beko has a wall wart type PSU which I havent had a chance to test yet.

    Will post some pics when the parts arrive for the other pair.

    This TV repair lark is addictive

      Re: 3 little 'uns

      A friend works for a charity, they dump all the "donations" that come in not working. I happened to mention to him a few days ago that I was keen on getting hold of a few non runners to play with. He offered me these, said it would save him taking them for disposal

      In all honesty, if I get these going cheap I will probably give them back to him, im more interested in learning about repairing them than making money from it.

      I told him I will help him out next time he has some going for disposal!

        I wondered what they do with dud donations. Honestly I would prefer if they were sold to TV repair companies or individuals - raise money for charity and keep a lot more stuff out of the dump.

          Yes, I believe this is one of the great things about this website, and
          the whole world of electronic repairs, is that we end up saving a lot of stuff
          that goes into a dumpster.

            Indeed, with any luck there will be a constant stream from this plalce and as a thankyou I will return some back to them for free. It's a win win situation

              Re: 3 little 'uns

              Parts arrived today for the Technika and Matsui - replaced the two 1000uF caps in the Technika psu. Put the old ones marked J.d on the esr meter, showing over 45 ohms!

              The inbuilt DVD Player not working, doesnt appear to be spinning the disk.. will look into it (not literally) when I have more time. Apart from that, the set is working well - it even has a dvb-t tuner!

              Also got the Beko running, replaced the wall wart which was reading 18vdc on the meter with a good 15v psu and have a real nice picture on it.

              The Matsui wasn't so straight forward.. will start a new thread on that one :-)

                Wow, a miracle that the TV would have ever functioned with caps nearly that bad...

                Very common with Technikas, no idea on how to fix it though, but I see a lot of Technika DVD & TV combis that have faulty DVD players.

                Many inverters will shut down on overvoltage; if the inverter used the V+ directly, then it might appear to shut down with >15V. 15V is probably too high; most are designed to work with 12V.

                  On the bottom of this Beko it says 15vdc. I was running it off a variable voltage bench PSU set for 15v. Turned it down to 13.8vdc and it still runs, the benefit of that is I can leave it connected to the PSU and still run my radios

                    A little 15" LCD I have (found it) is rated for 12V. Sadly, only works down to 11.2V (below which the screen starts flickering rapidly), but is perfectly happy with 15V. (Full of 16V caps, everything else rated to about 20V.)

                      Bad spindle motor. all too common on those cheap POS TV's.

                      Give the CD/DVD a spin with your finger just after you inserted it... it should start working. If so, there's a dead spot on the motor.

                        Hi Scenic,

                        Thanks for the reply. I think you maybe right. The dvd was moving like the motor was trying to spin and stopping 3 or 4 times.

                        I will try your tip tomorrow when im next in the workshop.

                          Beko fridge compressor clicking
                          by Liam.25
                          Hello,

                          our fridge and freezer stopped cooling last weekend, it’s a Beko fridge.

                          looking at the bottom, I can hear the relay clicking on the plug attached to the compressor.

                          There is also a 3uf capacitor, I’m thinking this is a run capacitor, I tested this with my fluke and and it measured at 1.5uf, so I replaced this (new one tested just over 3uf) so that’s where it should be.

                          I was thinking this was the issue. The compressor seem to run for like a minute then shutoff again.

                          inside the relay, there is a Klixon 4tm thermistor,...

                          Beko Tumble Dryer DTLCE80021W cutting out/tripping RCD
                          by spleenharvester
                          This dryer is several years old and has previously had a new motor cap. Currently it's behaving erratically - sometimes it finishes the cycle fine, other times it cuts out after a random period of time (just stops with no LEDs as if it has finished normally), and occasionally it trips the RCD. There's always steam coming off the clothes at the time it cuts out.

                          Going to pull it apart tomorrow, before I lob a new heating element at it is there anything else worth checking? It's £70 for a new heating element and the whole machine only cost £180 to begin with...

                          Cheers

                          Hi guys, how's it going?I hope you're all doing well. So a friend of mine told me that his little oven just dead, no noise like spark or something no blown up, anything just dead. I opened it and on the board control I found capacitor dead (you can see the dirty on the pcb , resistor broken and the rest of capacitor are low value. I
                          just wanted to understand if existing the scheme for this controller board. Thank you do much for the answer

                          Matsui 175S microwave fuse replacement
                          by drykid
                          Hi,

                          I recently picked up a used Matsui 175S microwave that was powering up (starts, turntable rotates) but not heating. From looking online the most likely culprit was the fuse, but unfortunately in this one the fuse had heated up and fused with the (badly designed) fuse holder and couldn't be removed. I guess this might indicate further issues beyond the fuse itself but at this stage I just want to replace the fuse and see how I go from there.

                          Anyway since I couldn't get out the fuse itself the easiest fix was to replace the fuse holder assembly that runs between the...
