    Olevia 537-B11

    Hey Guys, this is my first thread. If i posted it in the wrong place or it's already been answered, I apologize.

    I have an Olevia 537-b11. It has a blue power light but no picture. I haven't noticed any flashing.

    I checked Power Board for Caps, all are fine.

    I've seen many threads about this exact problem, but no one had an answer. Could it be something as simple as a surface fuse?

    I have exact same problem, when you plug it in do you see any red leds briefly light on main board?

      Yes I do! They stay on though.

      I have read elsewhere that it could be a faulty IC Switcher.

      Can anyone help me locate and test mine? (board, description, ohms or voltage?)

      I can post pictures if that would be helpful.

        Is it not just your backlights that are not working? shine a torch on screen see if you can see menu etc

          Shined a light on it. No luck.

          I believe the blue light indicates it has power, but is off. It never powers on.

            hi - Please post pictures of the back of the set with the boards roughly in place if you have them out already. Then also pictures of the front and back of your boards.
            Post them with "manage attachments" found by scrolling down on the "Go Advanced"
            Pics should be without flash if possible and the part numbers should be readable on the boards.
            Please update your profile with where you live and it is useful if you can give some idea of your electronic and soldering skills and details of your tools , meter, soldering iron etc.
            Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

              First thanks selldoor and netdent for your replies!

              A friend of mine passed away, he was a TV technician, I inherited his tools. I included a pic of some of the gear I have.

              I am a novice for sure. I've replaced Caps on power boards and i've soldered pico fuses over surfaces fuses on inverter/ T-Conn boards.

              I've taken some pictures, but I was in a bit of a rush, so I apologize for quality or lack of reason to them. I will take more!

              I am happy to update my profile ASAP

              again, thank you very much for helping me!

              ....Uploading Pics Issues. As a quick fix i posted them at Flickr

                I have the 'little brother' to this TV, a 337-B11. For some reason Olevia decided that the power light would mean the opposite of what everyone else does. A light means the TV is off. To me it suggests that your power supply is bad, or the main board is not working. If you turn on the power supply with a resistor do you get 12V and 24V?

                  How do you turn on the psu with a resistor? as there are no markings for ps_on etc

                    Logically. By examination of the connectors to the main board one can identify power pins, ground pins, and status and control pins.

                    I understand Scotsmen have a reputation for fiscal responsibility to maintain. I wish there were more people with that attitude. However when I see someone with over 100 posts who STILL hasn't gotten the message that pictures help us help you, I'm inclined to either vent or ignore.

                    For a number of reasons, both health and personal, I will no longer be active on this board. Any PMs asking for assistance will be ignored.

                        Sorry for the slow reply! Unfortunately, i'm not certain how do what you asked. I have a multimeter, if that can be used.

                        I have continued doing as much googling as humanly possible. No one has sorted this problem out.

                        I tried adding 5V parallel into the 5V standby- a solution I found via flickr, but nothing!

                        I did find this thread interesting

                        http://www.riddledtv.com/forums/olev...ght-t1832.html

                        Symptoms seem same as mine. No solution discovered, but someone mentioned a chip lifting off the main board. Does this sound appropriate? Is it fixable?

                        Thanks guys!

                          are you sure it can turn on? blue means stand-by and off means the TV is ON!

                          Try the remote it may be a bad switch. I have the 42" and my mainboard bit the dust awhile back spent the 100$ on a new one off ebay and it's working fine to this day.

                          If that doesn't work then do what plainbill says, check for voltages, if no then you'll have to check the on/off wire on the PSU for the 5v return. This is crucial as this triggers the primary to switch on, which powers up the mainboard, tcon and inverters.

                          I suggest some sewing pins and alligator clips to tap into the headers of the wiring harness and connect them to multimeter. Be sure to keep them apart so they don't short or you'll have a bigger problem. Now plug the unit in, press power button and see if you're getting anything on the multimeter. Then from there we can determine if it's the mainboard that's having the issue or the power-supply and/or inverters.

                          I've heard rumors that T-con can control power-up if there is a fault condition in the back-lighting system. Unplug T-con and see if the unit will power up.

                            Can't find exact matching caps for replacements, what should I get to prevent video issues?
                            by SluggerB
                            I have an old Tivo. The Power Supplies are known to have caps that fail. Here are the caps that come with the original power supply:



                            I could not find replacement caps with the exact same specs. I followed an online guide and recapped the power supply with caps with these specs



                            The power supply now works, however the HDMI video is giving me eye strain. I don't know how a capacitor on a Power supply could impact an HDMI video signal, but it does, the Tivo interface has a flicker now and the color/brightness is off. So I want to get some new caps...

                            Simple PIR sensor circuit to drive a small motor
                            by Nevillet
                            Hi All,

                            I'd like some help designing a simple circuit for driving a small DC motor.
                            The PIR module is a HC-SR501 which runs on 6V supply and outputs 2.4V when triggered. (Datasheet attached)

                            I'm not totally sure which motor I need yet but lets assume it'll be 12V and draw a maximum of 100mA.

                            Can somebody design me a simple circuit for me using something like a 2N3904?

                            I'm happy to include a relay if that makes sense.

                            Many thanks.

                            Philips PSU (715G7350-P01-000-002S) behaving funny
                            by hervou
                            Hi all,

                            I'm becoming crazy trying to fix the Philips TV of my old man (model 43PUS6201/12 - the TV, not my dad). I've read again and again discussions about this and similar TV models, on badcaps (thanks so much !). I see no other option than asking for your help.

                            The symptom is simple : when I plug the power cord, the red "stand-by" LED does not light on anymore, and the TV powers-on neither with the remote control nor with the rear button. I guess at this point you immediately think at the 5V (or other voltage depending on the hardware) stand-by output......
