Re: Rapid flashing screen Vistron LCD TV - PSU or Inverter or?
If you used a poor quality primary cap and it failed it would damage the PFC stage (MOSFET, diode and cap at a minimum usually.)Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Rapid flashing screen Vistron LCD TV - PSU or Inverter or?
Ok, have removed the cap and tested as best I can... connected to DMM at 2000k ohms setting and resistance rises. Then tested voltage across terminals after 30 seconds or so and it read 0.2V
Photo attached shows top of board where cap was located. No obvious signs of damage here.
Did notice a tell tale "sizzle" as I de-soldered suggesting I had left flux on the terminals.Attached FilesComment

Re: Rapid flashing screen Vistron LCD TV - PSU or Inverter or?
It does look repairable, its around now I wished I'd made my usual request for pictures
of both sides of the boards early on. What is the part number of the board ?
Clean up the area with some isopropyl alcohol and take another close up of the damage zone. Just by the mains socket on the board is a black encased fuse - can you check it.
Dont need another pic - Budm has marked the traces out.Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

Re: Rapid flashing screen Vistron LCD TV - PSU or Inverter or?
budm - tested as per your pic and is reading open circuit. I get a resistance of 8.36 at 20k setting between the vertical upper and lower leg of what I guess is the MOSFET.Comment

Re: Rapid flashing screen Vistron LCD TV - PSU or Inverter or?
selldoor - the fuse has not blown at the power input. Do you still want another pic of the damaged area?
Part no of board is GPAC 211424A rev 2.1Comment

Re: Rapid flashing screen Vistron LCD TV - PSU or Inverter or?
No - see edit - Budm has marked out the traces so if it needs wires to mend the traces we can see where they should go. Do Budms resistance check and post resultPlease upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

Re: Rapid flashing screen Vistron LCD TV - PSU or Inverter or?
Getting called away for an hour now by the other 'arf as she wants to go shopping... doh!
Have quickly done a diode check across the large one close to where the pop happened and it had a reading of 450?Comment

Re: Rapid flashing screen Vistron LCD TV - PSU or Inverter or?
selldoor - sorry, I did check the resistance as per the image from budm and posted it (#25)
It read as an open circuit. Am guessing the cap removed makes no difference to this.Comment

Re: Rapid flashing screen Vistron LCD TV - PSU or Inverter or?
Hi all,
Thanks for the advice so far but now I'm at a loss as to what to do next?
I tested the other MOSFETs on the board and they all had similar readings. Do I just put it all back together, replace the 5A fuse in the plug and repair the PCB trace and hope for the best?
I still have the option of a replacement board if it all goes bang again!Comment

Re: Rapid flashing screen Vistron LCD TV - PSU or Inverter or?
You need to use jumper wire to fix that blown trace. Since the MOSFET check open, I still would like you to look at the body of the MOSFET to make sure there is no sign of damage on the body, it could have blown so bad that it went open circuits. For the copper trace to blow and took out 5A fuse, something shorted badly to cause that kind of damage.Never stop learning

To save big blow-outs you could rig something like this

Re: Rapid flashing screen Vistron LCD TV - PSU or Inverter or?
Thanks budm and selldoor.
I hadn't read the dim bulb idea before I put the main capacitor back in place and soldered in a wire to jump the damaged trace.
Plugged in and switched on and the TV works again... (!!)
Does the jumper wire need to be particularly large in diameter? At present, I've used wire comparible to the other existing wire jumpers as per my image on post #23
I also remembered to give the soldered areas a good clean off this time too as I'm pretty sure it was excess flux that did the damage.

Replace the cap with a decent quality one - it will only fail again like the Samxon.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Rapid flashing screen Vistron LCD TV - PSU or Inverter or?
Should be ok trace is only thin even if wide. If you can get at it when the tv is on check to see if you can see it overheating - BUT remember dont touch it until the big caps has discharged. Invest in a good name cap as Tom says.Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

Re: Rapid flashing screen Vistron LCD TV - PSU or Inverter or?
Thanks to everyone for your help and advice with this - much appreciated.
I've now ordered a Rubycon cap to replace the Lelon.

Hello,
YouTube video of the problem encountered: https://youtube.com/shorts/q7TLNv36LUo
I am a pro and I have a problem that I have never seen despite my 7.5 years of experience on my own and my thousands of repairs, on a customer's Dell G3 15 3500.
On this PC I have already changed the complete palmrest because the keyboard was no longer working properly.
I also changed the screen because the PC fell and the screen was broken.
I changed the battery with a new and original battery.
I also had corrosion/oxidation on the... -
Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!
My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.
This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen... -
Hi,
I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on... -
Hi all,
i got a A1466 with serious water damage. I was able to clean the whole board and only found a fuse with a coroded trace. Cleaning and resoldering did the job and the macbook started normal but after some time the screen began "flashing" like turning on and off while the Macbook was still running. I checked the board again but was not able to find the problem until now.
Any ideas where to look?... -
Hello everyone, I’ve just been given a Samsung UE55JU6800K smart tv as it had white spots on the screen due to the led lenses falling off. After refitting them & putting the tv back together I thought it was a nice easy fix for a free bedroom tv , then I tried it before screwing the back into place. I realised that the right side of the screen was darker than the other side, I removed the screen again as I thought the backlights had failed but they are fine.
I put the screen back in place & turned it back on . The screen seemed to be ok again but different screens on the same...
