Doide D925 reads 1 the other way
Diode D912 reads the same both ways... 001
D925 would indicate its good. You should get a value one direction and either "0L" or "1" the other way if you reverse the probes. Desoldering and checking is still your best bet. Just try to not mess them up to bad incase they are good. That way you can atleast put them back.
Those two diodes were good after testing them off the board. I did what was posted in another board and used the Radio Shack Diodes to see if this fixed it and sure enough it did. I have the needed diodes on order and will replace them as soon as they come in. ~ Now I am testing to see if I have the problem of the set turning off when it heats up...Fingers crossed!! Thanks you guys for ALL your help!!!!
Hey Guys,
I've been away for awhile taking care of my husbands elderly parents, but am still having TV issues.
Here's what I have done so far :
1) Re-capped bloated caps on Scaler board. (I think it was only 2 or 3)
TV would still shut off after 20-30 mins or so.
2) Re-capped most all caps on the power board
TV still had same issue, but discovered that if we kept a fan running
behind it it would stay on all day & all night.
3) You guys had me doubt my original solder joints on the scaler board, so I went back and removed them and capped them all over again.
4) Still same problem, only fix so far is to keep the fan on.
5) Ordered more caps, (arrived Tues) re-capped the entire scaler board.
6) Still same problem, only stays on with the fan running.
HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reason: added info
3) To verify if that is the case or not, try to think of a way just to keep this card cool (instead of the entire backside of the TV). This may involve some "duct" work or portable hair dryer on the cool setting.
4) There is a voltage regulator on the board (maybe two), but I'm afraid your analog multimeter may not provide enough precision to determine if it is bad or not. A voltage regulator should be within 1% of it specifications.
Now if the voltage regulator is "obviously" bad, then a 3.3V regulator might read 4.5V or 2.4V which is enough to spot with an analog multimeter.

I have a new digital multi-meter. It's the same one TBuch bought in an earlier post, with which I tested all the diodes.
Where and what exactly is the T-Con???
PlainBill also mentioned it as a possibility way back in post #20.
It stands for timing control.

BTW, it is not uncommon for a TV to have multiple problems in addition to the bad caps found earlier. Most of the time, it is just one thing.

1) I marked the two voltage regulators. The pics are almost good enough for me to make out the part numbers, but I can't. So please list the part numbers.
Use a ground screw on the t-con for your black probe.
3) Obviously, we want comparison readings of these two when the TV is working and when it is not.

That indicates that something is cutting power to the boards - suspicions rest on the power supply - as the 24V is shutting off as well.
If the power LED stays ON during the failure, the standby voltage is -probably- fine, but we must check that it is at 5V and not at a voltage which is too low.
Need a closer pic of this area. If there are any labels next to the connector, report them.

Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!
For service manual, schematic, boardview (board view), datasheet, cad - use our search.
1) The above is correct. The 250 indicates the output voltage. You have 2.49V.
6343 74J3Z
Pin 1=0
Pin 2=3.69v
Pin 3=2.81v
2) I can't find a datasheet for the above and the readings don't match any of the "common" voltages. Common is 1.8, 2.5, or 3.3V. So this part could be suspect.
3) Let's try another set of measurements.
Circled in red are the t-con voltage rails. The red multimeter probe should fit into each of one of those small test points. Your black probe goes on a t-con board ground screw.
4) List each legend and its value when the TV is working and not. Also please post a close up photo of just the section in red.
Readings when the TV kicks off=0 across the board.
5) Also please clarify the above "kicks off". The last I remember is that when the TV doesn't work, there was sound and backlights were on (white).

Close up of the area in red per your request. And yes, when it kicks off, we still have sound and back lights.
What do I set the meter to to perform the above mentioned test?
Tested with TV Powered On, Meter set @ DcV -20
GND=0
SDA=3.28
VIN=12.00
SCL=3.28
TSTPGM=.01
Tested when the TV Shut off, Meter set @ DcV -20
GND=.01
SDA=.01
VIN=.45
SCL=0
TSTPGM=0

Reason: Add info
Just found this post in my local area. Wondering if this would be fixable or if I could use it for parts to fix mine. What do you guys think? I just sent her a message to see what her bottom dollar is. Here is her actual picture and description.
42' Phillips Flat Screen w/Ambulight for sale. Also comes with the remote.
It has a black strip down the side of the screen other than that it works fine. My son uses it to play the 360 & watch movies on. Make me an offer.
