    Dead screen, no pilot light

    This set has the normal 12 and 24 volts going [see picture], but there is no standby light on.
    [A privately imported set with no backup of any kind on the Internet or manufacture, it appears. Model is DigitalArt DA-32TW04, anyway.]
    There is life in the signals board with some hot ICs.
    It looks like this board could be faulty.
    What do you think?

    Re: Dead screen, no pilot light

    If I'm not mistaken that's a Vestel set. They are made in Turkey.

    Vestel TVs are some of the worst to service. The ugly, nearly impossible to follow wiring, poorly laid out main board, intermittent faults (especially caps that don't bulge and bad solder joints) and the difficulty of finding service manuals are just some of the reasons.

    Vestel power supplies usually output 3.3V standby, 5V standby, 5V run, 12V and 24V. Check all are present. Check for ~395V across main bulk cap when running (should be 320V in standby.)

    Note these sets sometimes turn OFF the standby indicator when running so check the backlights aren't faulty. And do you get sound?

      No sound that I can hear, since I have no means of getting any station or select AV.
      Lamps are also dead, and don't turn on ever.
      There is power feeding the lamps cable, though, but I don't see the inverters - must be under the metal frame.
      Indeed, the soldering looks unprofessional - poor quality.
      The other set with the vertical line is from the same company.

        Check for other rails on PSU. If not present, it's not worth debugging, just get a new PSU. You will spend hours chasing around faults. These supplies seem to work by the will of a deity - but the slightest thing wrong and they go completely belly-up.

          Yes, thank you.
          I already sent email to Li Shin Enterprise [in CHina or Taiwan] for diagram of PSU - not sure if I'm lucky - PS model n. 0420D02216].
          Funny that the only panel with the logo Vestel is the small sound one. All other boards have no clear logo.
          It indeed looks a bad set.

            The board next to the PSU seems to have regulators and whatnot on it. Post some close-up shots of that board so we can identify what they are. Also post a few pictures of the PSU. Looks like a single, always-on power supply (i.e. no standby circuit) with PFC, but I can't confirm that without good pictures. It could be that this power supply only provides 12v nad 24v and the rest of the voltages are derived from that other board next to the power supply (so the PSU may actually be working fine).

              Yes, the regulators work fine - voltages as per photo - although the 23.6 for inverters is not switched on sometimes - I need to turn the on/off switch two or three times; the green LED comes on all the time.

              There is also 5 volts on the standby LED, but it does not turn on.
              HS plate is rather hot after a while.
              In other words, all voltages seem to be OK, but the set remains dormant.

                Check the 5V standby.

                If intermittent or low, replace the 78L05 on the PSU.

                  Re: Dead screen, no pilot light

                  5v is OK, as the 3.3v too.
                  Power supply seems to hum normally.
                  I noticed that the supply to the control buttons is only 2.6 - not sure if that is OK.
                  Nothing happens, even if I remove the supply to inverters.
                  I still suspect the signals board is faulty.

                    What is the part code on the motherboard? (Usually 17MBxx-x, where x is any digit.)

                        Re: Dead screen, no pilot light

                        Okay, service manuals:

                        http://www.eserviceinfo.com/download...el_17mb11.html or
                        http://www.eserviceinfo.com/download...%22%20TFT.html

                        Check the pins 1 and 6 of PL602. Pin 1 should be >1.5V and pin 2 should be <0.2V if I recall correctly.

                        Check regulator IC600. Output should be about 8V. Diode is wrong way around in schematic, but check if it is short circuit.

                          Thanks very much for your kind help.
                          Downloaded the diagrams, thanks.
                          I will check a few points tomorrow.
                          So far, I've checked regulator IC600 - looks OK, in 12volts out 7volts.
                          Plug PL602 is not part of this board, it appears, but I'll check better tomorrow.
                          Quite tired now, after a busy day [and also looking after my granddaughter ].
                          Goodnight.

                            Well, found Plug 602 which goes to plug 104 on the PS interface board.
                            Pin 1 is dead, no voltage present on both ends of the cable, and also checked under the interface board.
                            Pin 6 reads .017 volts.
                            I could not locate in the diagram any source for that pin 1 voltage, like I did not find the 8 volt supply mentioned in the PS description of the manual.
                            All other voltages are present and accurate, and green LED is happily on, the set being absolutely dormant!
                            I also measured the caps in circuit and look fine.

                              And you are still getting 24V out?

                              What is the voltage across the big 150u/450V cap on the power supply (if you can get to it)?

                              I would suspect a main board problem.

                                Whilst it is probably the least of your problems you say "There is also 5 volts on the standby LED, but it does not turn on." could it be that the led is just burnt out?
                                Can you try another led or try and light it with external power?


                                ALSO

                                Also you say"I have no means of getting any station or select AV." what do you mean? I can understand no stations but have you anything you can set up - a dvd player or vcr that you know is working and can attach by scart or composite cables then even without seeing the screen . Set it going then cycle through the function buttton or remote (if you have one) to see if you can hear the sound of the dvd or tape?

                                  Went to measure it.
                                  400 volts - but strange, it read 300 a few times.
                                  I removed the cap which measure 137, connected a bigger one - 180nF - but no good results.
                                  Now with the top HS out, I can hear some crackling going on inside some transformer.
                                  I have to investigate why.
                                  Meantime, the 24 volts supply is fine.
                                  I had noticed yesterday that when switched on, sometimes the 24 is not present.
                                  I have to switch off and on again to get that voltage.
                                  I'm going to check caps on that board.

                                        I didn't notice this board is using an add-on DC-DC converter. Check the output voltages on this converter, across the main caps. They should be 5V and 3.3V. Were these the voltages you were reporting when I asked you to check 5V and 3.3V?

                                        Those Lelon caps could be bad, too, but I think that would cause a low supply voltage, which would be obvious. Also, Lelon seem to think copying Panasonic's T-vent is fun, they can't seem to make up their mind about whether to use an X or a three-way star.

                                          Hi all , thanks for having me & I think this has been asked before but my case seems a bit odd.
                                          I have a MacBook Pro , board 820-2915a and it turns on , chimes etc etc , keyboard lights up, fans spins , can turn caps lock on/off but screen is dead.
                                          Iv tried the resets , shine torch through back logo , nothing , it seems the screen has no power. If I plug charger , it charges but if I disconnect battery it displays green light but won't turn on. Iv tried screen on with another board & it works & seems I'm not getting any voltage at pin 2 , next to ground pin .
                                          is this...

                                          QN750Q8FNBFXZA Service Error Codes Needed - Error code 1-3-1-2 ? Dead set, only blinking standby light in repeating sequence
                                          by mecha1166
                                          I am working on a QN750Q8FNBFXZA. Dead except the standby light. It blinks what appears to be 1 3 1 2. 1 long blink, pause, 3 short, pause, 1 long, pause, 2 short, pause, repeat. A service manual would be very helpful, or if anyone knows these error codes. Thanks!

                                          LG 65UB930T - Standby Light can trigger but TV dead
                                          by wushumike
                                          The problem: When remote controller is press, the TV seems to wake from standby light goes off; but there is no backlight, image and sound. The relay did click on.

                                          I have removed the power board to check. Using 2 x 10K resistor from 3.5V to PWR_ON AND DRV_ON, all the voltages is correct.

                                          The main board has a red LED and is lited, but the optic link does not light up.

                                          The Power board after sometime will start to blink x 5 interval.... I would assume this is to indicate DRV_On not working.

                                          Any expert here came across the same problem? I...

                                          TX-P50UT30B Dead - No Standby light.
                                          by shagster
                                          Hi, haven't been on the forum for a while. But I thought I'd ask here incase this has already been solved.

                                          Anyway, I have this Panasonic TX-P50UT30B. It's completely dead, no red standby light, nothing. I took off the back and had a look at the fuses. All of them are intact. No shorts when testing the mosfets of the Power supply either.
                                          And the capacitors look fine also.

                                          I'm guessing it's a main board issue. But I don't really know tbh. Maybe a corrupt firmware flash, dunno.

                                          Hello all,

                                          First time posting, so please be gentle 😂

                                          HP Elitebook 850 G2 Win 10 with Intel HD Graphics 5500.

                                          Screen dead, but booting.

                                          I connected it to an external monitor via both VGA & Display Port outputs and external monitor works fine, nothing with F4 or detecting another screen in settings.

                                          Got a replacement panel, still dead & still displayed to external screen as before.

                                          Removed CMOS & left it. CMOS reconnected, all as before, no panel, external monitor works.

                                          Got replacement cable...
