hi, my tv 42lg5000 keeps popping fuse in plug, when i opened tv up, and plugged it in, i get a spark from one of the yellow covered coils on the psu and this blows the 5 a fuse in the plug. do i need new psu ???
thanks.
thanks.

Re: 42lg5000
Depends how competent you are in debugging power supplies but I'd expect you could easily identify the faulty component with a multimeter, as the component will appear to be shorted.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: 42lg5000
hi, i dont know much to be honest, i have repaired 3 of these tvs by replacing blown caps. but this one, the small fuse on psu next to power input was blown, so i fitted new fuse, as i put the mains cord in, i got the spark from what i think is one of the transformers ?? and it blown fuse in the mains plug, but it did not blow fuse on psu, thanks.Comment

Re: 42lg5000
yes i do have a multimeter. i did this twice and then thought i had better ask about it. if you can give me a list of checks and instructions, i can strip tv down again to perform checks.Comment

i dont have a good quality camera for a close up pic, ive only got camera on my phone, is there any thing in particular you need to look at or is it part numbers you require ? thanks.Comment

Re: 42lg5000
are the brown stains smoke traces ? they are only present on the psu.... no where else inside the tv ?...Comment

Re: 42lg5000
as you look at the pic..... the spark / pop came from the right hand yellow block (bottom right of pic) each time i replaced fuse in plug. but the fuse in the psu (not present in pic) top right, did not blow even though when i first opened up tv it was blown. sorry if sounds confusing ??Comment

Re: 42lg5000
That TV has clearly got very hot; the PSU PCB is brown in many places. Maybe it wasn't mounted the right way around for good ventilation. Heat kills electronics.
Simplest check:
- Replace fuse
- Check resistance on 200 ohm scale from blue to brown on the AC connector (must be unplugged!)
If you measure close to zero ohms, there's a problem on the power supply. For me to help you further with that, I'll need a picture of the bottom, usually green side.
If there's a spark coming from the yellow inductors on the bottom right, it would seem like a PFC problem. Also, the brown residue there could be conductive, so if it wipes off consider giving that area a clean.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered.

Re: 42lg5000
ok i have fitted replacement psu board, tv fires up but i have a few coloured lines along top of screen and dark parts of screen, is there a menu i can go into to refresh screen ?Comment

Re: 42lg5000
1. Does it only affect dark areas?
2. Is it in fixed patches or do the glitches move?
3. Does it affect the OSD?
If 1 and/or 2: not a panel fault - most likely T-con
If 3: if not most likely main boardPlease do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: 42lg5000
hi thanks for reply, they are fixed patches and dont move, and they are there no matter the screen shade or colour, yes you can see the patches over the osd.
when you say main board, do you mean the lcd panel ?Comment

Re: 42lg5000
No, main board means the main processing board - the one with the input connectors on it.
The LCD panel is probably faulty. Try applying a small amount of pressure to the patches - do they move? Also, if you look closely, do they appear to be composed of pixels, or are they independent of the pixel grid? (may be hard to tell on a 1080p set though.)Please do not PM me with questions!

I found a project in the electronics trash yesterday. A nice Argon SA1 audio amp with some electrical issue. Took it apart and saw that the 4A250V fuse was blown so started lifting components to find the short. Eventually got to two MOSFETs (model FTA14N50C) that are shorted and when i took them out the short was gone.
Now i didn't have any replacements of the same model of course but i found a couple with pretty similar spec i thought (K10A60D & K12A50D) and put them in. Also replaced the blown fuse with a 3.5A250V one. Checked another time for short circuit and plugged it in.... -
HP Modelnumber: 14-dh0061nb​
This laptop had a shorted cap on a Vcore section. After replacement is works again. But there is still a battery issue.
The battery is HT03XL and with the built-in component test from HP, in the Power section, I get an error: Logic State: Calibration required (20), Charge state: Blown Fuse (42)
I have another same battery, also with error: Logic State: Very Weak (70), Charge state: Blown Fuse (42)
And a third battery TF03XL (looks identical) with error: Logic State: OK (0), Charge state: Blown Fuse (42)
All these 3 batteries are charging... -
I gotten a Carver CM-1090 amplifier from a friend who has kept it in storage for decades. Opened it up, thick layer of dust cumulated everywhere. Vacuumed it semi-cleaned, and blown off as much as possible the remaining dust. This is a 220V version.
On initial powered up with nothing connected - it works with all the lights and button indicator lit up as pressed, etc. I then powered off, connected a CD player into the CD RCA input and powered it on. It seemed to work for a short while and when I turned the volume up and down to see the the VUs works, the power started to clicked off... -
Hi I wonder if anyone might be able to steer me in the right direction. I have this Samsung UE46ES8000 TV and it went bang during use. The main fuse on the PSU board is open. I've checked every diode/mosfet/transistor I can see and nothing appears to be short to cause the fuse to go. The DC output of the bridge rectifier is not short either. I've seen online that some of these models are known for having their PFC mosfet or other mosfets shorting and blowing the fuse but i'm not seeing that here. If anyone aware of these models having any issues to cause this? I'm reluctant to just replace the... -
Hey,
I have a Gigabyte 980TI Windforce. No shorts on the main 8 pin PCIE power connectors. The 8 phase buck converter inductors are showing 2.5ohms.
The card doesn't power up at all - no lights, no fans, nothing. I noticed that all of the 8 phase inductors are showing 0V. I couldn't find a fuse for the 8pin power connectors.
I did notice that the PCIE x16 connector 12V line has a fuse F3 (10A marked on it) which is blown. It is reading 16ohms on one end.
1st Question: Is there some logic on the board that checks the 12V on the PCIE x16 bus connector...
