    Okay, 5V is good. This might be your standby voltage. Normally, the legend is marked as 5VSB or something like that.

    Pin 13 is probably your power on signal from the main board. Normally it is > 3V, and if it is pulsing, then something isn't quite right.

    I circled 3 voltage regulators on the main board.

    1) List each part number.
    2) Measure each pin (except the tab) with respect to ground.
    3) Report all readings like the following.

    U101 - AS1117-33
    pin 1 - 0.0 V
    pin 2 - 3.3 V
    pin 3 - 5.0 V

    If the voltage regulators check out, we need to check other things on the power board.

      Hmm, I don't see a picture, maybe something happened?
      What do you mean (except the tab) are you Referring to the Tab on a Mosfet Like Device?

      OK I could be wrong here but it seems like what is happening in that it turns on senses an overload and then shuts off. Like a Protection Circuit, Thats what it seems like to me anyway.

          The tab is the top fat part. The 3 pins are below the tab.

            OK Here they are Also the Middle legs is not connected to the board. Pins numbers are from left to right when facing the Tab.

            Legend U13
            78m096
            RA837

            Pin #1 0.05
            Pin #2 0.00
            Pin #3 0.50 However, That is the Spike the Curent Jump Up for and then starts to drop off.

            Legend U14
            7805A
            J8 1A

            Pin #1 0.50 However, That is the Spike the Curent Jump Up for and then starts to drop off. This seems Identical to Pin #3 of U13
            Pin #2 0.00
            Pin #3 0.00

            Legend U7
            AIC
            1084-33PM
            877H8

            Pin #1 0.00
            Pin #2 Seeing a spike around 0.71 then start to drop back off, till it spikes again.
            Pin #3 Same as Pin # 2 but a Higher Voltage 1.35 or So.

            Also, note that I am not pressing the power button the tv the seems to power itself up then shuts down right after and this just repeats.

            Should I try disconecting the inverter so there is not a load?

              Yes, disconnect the inverter.

              It looks as if the power supply is not starting up.

              Causes include:
              - bad output caps (rare - and this unit uses nice caps)
              - bad startup cap (common even in good units)
              - shorted diode
              - shorted inverter (they usually have a fuse though)

              Post a picture of the solder side (bottom) of power supply, we can have a look for shorted diode (in my experience the most common cause of this problem.)

                Ok Thanks for the Help! I took the inverter off and the Same Thing Happened. Where are the Startup Caps located? On the Power Board or the Main/ Video?

                I'll get a Pic in a Sec Just Want to Let soem of the Voltage Drain Before I go Stick My Hand in there.

                    Looking at the layout of this power supply, it's clear that there is no startup cap for the main rails (as the primary of the main transformer has just one winding); the Vcc for the main controller (5V/12V/24V) is developed from the standby supply and as that is working, it's unlikely to be the problem.

                    Testing diodes:

                    Turn the TV off & wait 1 minute for the main bulk caps to discharge (these might carry 200V DC each, so can give a nasty shock!)

                    Flip the board upside down so you can see the solder side.

                    Get out your multimeter, and set it to the diode test mode. It looks like this: ->|-

                    If you do not have a diode test use the 2000 ohm / 2k ohm range - this is often the same or combined onto one range.

                    Initially, do not probe anything, and note the reading you get. It should be either " OL " or a single left-hand 1. This is your "open circuit" reading.

                    For each highlighted diode (red), test all six combinations of pins. Counting from the top: 1-2, 1-3, 2-1, 3-1, 2-3, 3-2. Typically, we are expecting around 120 - 800 from 1-2 and 2-3, and all of the other readings to report open circuit as above.

                        Sorry, when I mention all combinations I mean test each pair of pins both ways. It would seem ALL the diodes are failed but that would be very rare.

                          So do 12 tests on each one is that correct? Do the 6 I did but then switch leads like

                          D203 Top in Picture,

                          R1-2B,
                          R1-3B,
                          R2-1B,
                          R2-3B,
                          R3-1B,
                          R3-2B,

                          B1-2R,
                          B1-3R,
                          B2-1R,
                          B2-3R,
                          B3-1R,
                          B3-2R,

                          B=Black Probe, R= Red Probe

                          Is That Right?

                            Also there seem to be another two on the Primary Side. Do I need to check Those?

                              I take that Back, I don't think those are Diodes.

                              Also I am having trouble getting a good reading I have another meter with a diode test should I use that?

                                Those are MOSFETs. When they fail, they usually take out the fuse. At the moment, you don't need to test them.

                                  OK Also, I was getting different readings on D203 but just rounded since I thought it was the meter. Now I see why though, its not the same as the other two D202 and D201 are different than D203.

                                      Here I was using both of them for the First test but the Craftsman Battery Died, I am going out in a 30min to get a new one though. So I will have the option to use either one. Whatever, you think I got the Cen-Tech mostly to check DC AMPs so I don't fry my good one.

                                      Thanks!

                                      P.S. Both of the Readings have been the Same in all of the test I did with both of them.

                                        99.99% of the measurements we ask for are DC voltage, diode, and resistance. We usually never ask for amps measurement.

                                        I'm very explicit when directing people to take measurements as I was once a newbie not that long ago and was unsure how to use a multimeter correctly.

                                          Ok I am not sure how to measure ohms properly, I thought I recall younot being able to hold in onthere for too long

                                            by jxrepman
                                            Hi there,

                                            I have this ASUS X453MA Laptop that's not turning on. When I plug in the charger, the green light just keeps on blinking and pressing the power button does nothing.

                                            I have checked the charger and it is giving 19+ V

                                            I have disconnected the battery and pressed power button for 30 seconds.

                                            I tried another RAM stick.

                                            Tried disconnecting the keyboard and touchpad.

                                            Tried disconnecting the HDD and the wifi adapter.

                                            The problem persists.

                                            Hope you could help me out on this one. Thank you.

                                            Im hoping someone might be able to give me some idea of what may be wrong with my Monitor Audio RSW12 Sub.

                                            Ive owned it since new in around 2002, so would really like to keep it running if I can, it was the first β€˜decent' bit of audio equipment I ever purchased and is a little sentimental.

                                            The issue I had was that it would power up with the red light, but sometimes the green light would not come on and I would get no bass from it. If the green light did come on though, I would get sound out of it.

                                            Hi

                                            I have an 820-2610-A motherboard that has no green light.
                                            I have noticed is when I do a SMC reset the light on the Magsafe blinks.
                                            From My understanding, the sys onewire circuit is responsible for the green light on the magsafe
                                            The sys onewire circuit on this model and others is more involved
                                            I was hoping if anyone knows about this and how it works, can reply and let me know
                                            I know this is an old model but I am sure there are people who still works on these or knows about them

                                            Hello, I am trying to bring back to life my Toshiba 55U7863DG, which has never been the most reliable device - keep on annoying me with its slowness and some random start-up/shutdown issues requiring to unplug the AC. But yesterday it finally said goodbye and decided to not turn on again. Green light is blinking, I've seen this behaviour before and thought that these are some temporary whims again, but unfortunately not this time.

                                            I have checked that my TV is build based on the 17MB130S board, which seems to be quite popular and easy to buy as a used one. Still I would like to ask...
