    JVC lt-47x579 backlight comes on but nothing else

    Hey everyone. Hopefully someone out there can help with my tv.

    It is a JVC lt-47x579 LCD television, about 3 years old. Yesterday I got home from vacation pushed the power button on the remote. The little blue light on the bottom left comes on and stays on constantly. And the screen lights up with a bluish glow, which I assume is the backlight(correct me if i am wrong) I tried unplugging. left it unplugged over night, same thing this morning. I tried the vol + menu + power button thing, and no luck.

    Next I took the back off the tv to check for any fuses, could only find one and it was fine. I can't smell any burning, and the capacitors look fine in appearance.

    I took a few pictures and will post the links to them in my photobucket account. If anyone could give me any advice on what to check next that would be great.

    Thanks in advance.

    The blueish glow is good, indicating the backlight is okay.

    Please be careful with JVC TVs. A nasty trick some of their LCDs have is to include a photocell on the board which detects light. If the board is powered up with light (i.e. case off) it will erase encryption keys required for HDMI!! Not all JVCs do this but some do.

    There is one more board in your TV on the top side of the screen. A cable probably connected to it. This is your T-con board. Can you remove it and take a picture of it? The T-con is responsible for the image displayed, and it usually has a fuse on it.

      Thanks for the quick reply tom66,

      Here is the board at the top of the panel. I couldn't see any fuses on it.

      And thanks for the heads up about the possibility of that photocell, i will try and be careful from now on.

        Re: JVC lt-47x579 backlight comes on but nothing else

        Can you get a closer shot near the video connector (which goes to the main board.) I think I can see a fuse there...

        Also disappointing to see a cheapie CMO LCD in a JVC... would have expected a Samsung or Sharp LCD at the price they charge...

        The T-con says "42" on it; strange for them to use that in a 47" set...

            FP1 is your fuse.

            Make sure set is off (and unplugged.)

            Set your meter to 200 ohms range.

            Touch red probe to one end, black to the other. If fuse is good, you will see from 0.0 to 2.0 ohms. Don't confuse the "infinite" reading you get when the probes are not touching with 1 ohm... If the meter stays on the infinite reading, the fuse is probably dead.

            If the fuse is blown, there could be a short, or the fuse could have just failed on its own (this sometimes happens.)

              o.k. Well the meter I have is one of the digital clamp auto-ranging kind. I set it to ohms, put the leads on either side of FP1. The reading I got immediately said 13.1 then went right down to 2.0 then slowly crept down till it said 0.4 where it fluctuated between 0.4 and 0.3. Now im not sure if this is a normal reading or if it is a problem with my meter. I could try and see if |I can get a hold of a different one.

              also my meter does have the beeping sound for continuity and it was beeping while on the fuse.

                Yeah, your fuse is good. The high reading at the beginning might have been from a bad/oxidized spot on your probes.

                  Okay, now plug everything in and screw the boards down, and check the voltage on both ends of the fuse. It should be either around 5V or around 12V, probably the former.

                    screwed it all down, plugged all the plugs in, turned it on. I checked both sides of that fuse and got 11.58 both sides. I grounded to a screw in the frame.

                      11.58V is quite low but probably high enough.

                      There is a voltage regulator on the T-con. If this fails it could cause issues. I've highlighted it in the picture attached.

                      To test it:
                      - Set meter to volts DC
                      - Place black probe in a spare screw hole in the metal frame of the TV
                      - Place red probe on each pin: pin 1, the tab pin at the top of the regulator, and pin 3. Note the voltage on each of the pins. Be careful not to short any pins together.
                      - Also note down the part number on the regulator for example LM1117-33.

                      When TV is on, can you turn it off using the remote control, or do you have to unplug it?

                      And, if you connect a source to, say, the composite video input and audio input, and flick through the inputs using the INPUT or SOURCE button, do you eventually hear any sound?

                          I don't see the attached picture, however I did just hook the tv up to my cable box with a hdmi cable. tried it in input 1,2, and 3. no sound. I verified that the box was on a channel with sound by hooking it up to another 32" lcd. And I can turn the tv on and off with the remote and the button on the side of the tv.

                          , ah, theres the picture. Will go test now.

                            the readings i get are.

                            the tab pin o.oo4v
                            the top pin 2.478v
                            the bottom pin 3.276v

                            I wasn't sure which was pin 1 or 3 so top is the upper most one in the picture you posted and bottom the lower pin. and the tab on the left.

                            this is with all the plugs connected and the set powered on..

                            the number on the reg is

                            AME8815

                              Symptom:
                              After the TV is powered ON, no video appears and the blue power LED remains lit. If the
                              Signal PWB of the TV is heated prior to AC application to TV Power Supply, the TV set
                              powers ON and operation is restored upon AC application and TV Power ON.
                              Cause:
                              The Reset IC (IC2502) on the Signal PWB does not reset. There is not enough margin
                              between the Setting Voltage (3.1V) of IC2502 and the VCC (3.3V) of IC2502.
                              Solution:
                              Replace IC2502 (3.1V) on the Signal PWB with a (2.8V Reset IC type)

                              new part number for IC2502 is IC-PST8228U-W or S-80828CNNB-G-W

                                Hi RON_CET?

                                Thanks for the reply. However, if im being honest i really didn't understand all of what you said. I did understand that i should repace IC2502. first question, what and where is this? (i am aware that it was actually 2 questions.) next question, is there a way to test this or are you pretty sure thats the problem?

                                Im pretty handy with most tools, can read a meter pretty well. But i honestly dont have the experience with flat panel televisions to know what im doing without a little help.

                                Thanks.

                                  the ic2502 will be on your main cba which would be board with tuner / and your av inputs,this is actually a confirmed fix via JVC service bullentin

                                    Thanks for the info. I did a google search to try and find that part, but everywhere i have looked it comes up out of stock. Do you perhaps have any idea of a source for this part where it would be stocked?

                                      For testing you may remove the RESET IC. It is only to make sure the TV powers down nicely if power is suddenly interrupted (so it does not corrupt things like user settings.) It should be fine going to standby..

                                      This issue has been seen on a few other TVs too.

                                        Hi tom66,

                                        So, if i remove ic 2502, what steps should i take to test it? Is it just a case of removing it then powering on the set? And do you by chance happen to know somewhere i can order a replacement if this is the problem.

                                          this tv is throwing me for a loop. do samsung tvs no longer have the backlight self test feature built into the power supply?
                                          i tested the backlight with my LED tester and it lights up both strips. one of them reads 100v and the other reads 63.7v.
                                          unplugged mainboard from power supply but left backlight plugged in, and then plugged psu wall power in. expected to see backlights light up but see nothing.
                                          according to how ive diagnosed in the past, this would almost always be a bad power supply. replacement power supply was cheap like 20$ from ebay. but still i get not even...

                                          Guide me through repairing a Dell p2210f LCD ccfl backlight monitor
                                          by DanPoka
                                          I bought this p2210f dell monitor to fix. Schematic is the same as p2210.
                                          Behaviour is that monitors comes on but then backlight switches off almost instantly. If I look with flashlight I can still find the "No signal message". So definitely a backlight issue. Trying to advance the issue I proved that the protection circuit is switching off the backlight by shorting out C3 and resistor to disable the INL chip then re enable by removing the short.
                                          This is where it gets interesting. When I disassembled the monitor to solder leads on c3 capacitor I noticed the backlight flickered...

                                          Hello all,

                                          Am trying to figure out this backlight issue with this A1990 Macbook Pro.

                                          Tests performed:

                                          There is no backlight even with a good screen.
                                          Backlight IC is receiving the correct support voltages.
                                          Fuse F8400 ok
                                          Current sense resistor R8400 ok
                                          Backlight IC is receiving 3.3V on enable pin.
                                          Backlight IC receiving voltage from PPBUS_G3H, aprox 12.5V.
                                          Backlight IC receiving 5V from PP5V_G3S
                                          Backlight IC BKLT_SCL and BKLT_SDA both measure 0.545V diode mode to ground
                                          I2C_BKLT_SCL and I2C_BKLT_SDA both measure...

                                          by cheebster
                                          Hello, got an iPad Pro A2378 12.9 5th gen with no backlight. Got another test unit without screen, tested the screen, still no backlight with the test unit.
                                          Figured out the backlight on the screen was bad, ordred a new backlight from mobilesentrix, *carefully replaced it* without damaging the lcd, oh well.
                                          Final result, issue is still there, the screen has no back lights. So i'm back to square one, with 3 hours less and 100$ out, issue still on the screen.
                                          The panel is still ok, i can see the apple in the middle of the screen when it kicks in, just no backlight.
                                          Anyone...

                                          LG Flatron 24EN33TA No Backlight When Cold
                                          by canadaboy25
                                          Hi all,

                                          I've got an LG Flatron 24EN33TA with a backlight issue. The problem began with the monitor not powering up after sitting for a long time (overnight or during the day throughout work). When I would wake the computer up, the backlight would flick on for a second then go out. Sometimes it would take many tries to get it to come on. Once the monitor came on, it worked flawlessly until another long duration of being powered off.

                                          I thought the problem would be bad caps but I checked both of the caps on the board and they are fine. I also tried powering the monitor from...
