I have a Protron PLTV-32c that won't power on. It has a standby light that is orange when it's first plugged in, and then turns red. I push the power button and it turns green for a few seconds, but nothing on the screen. The power supply and mainboard appear to be in good shape as far as the caps go. Any ideas on what I could check for?

Re: Protron PLTV-32c won't power on
I have the 26" version of this tv.
Grab a flashlight and shine it into the lcd and see if you can see an image. If you can then the problem is with the inverter and ccfl bulbs or power supplying the inverter.
If you have a DMM and if comfortable doing it, I would recommend checking the voltages coming out of PSU, it should be labelled on the board what they supply.
Also if you can, post clear focus pictures of the PSU and inverter.Last edited by Mad_Professor; 08-22-2012, 05:12 PM. -
Re: Protron PLTV-32c won't power on
I couldn't see anything with a flash light. I tested the voltage on the power supply, the only reading I could get was the 5v reading for the standby. 24v was reading .25 and the 16v was reading .25.Comment

Re: Protron PLTV-32c won't power on
Bad cap can look normal but can have high ESR.
We need to find out if the power supply board is getting the PS_ON signal from the main board.
Please post good, clear, focused pictures using an attachment function so we may be able to tell you the test points we will want you to test.Never stop learning

Re: Protron PLTV-32c won't power on
OK, CN3 connector pin with the label 'POWER' is the Power supply on input signal sent from the Main board which will turn on the 16/24V power supply circuits, it should have more than 3VDC at that pin with ref to the chassis ground. See if it has that voltage.Never stop learning

Re: Protron PLTV-32c won't power on
I am getting 0 on that pin. I get 5v from the two 5v pins.Comment

Re: Protron PLTV-32c won't power on
Well, that means the main board is not sending the signal to turn on the 16/24V power supply, without that, you will not have 24V to run the backlights (backlights inverter also need backlights on signal from the main board), or sound (16V is for sound).
There are many regulator ICs on the main board. I need to see straight shot pictures of the main board.
Can we also see the whole TV to see how all the boards are connected.Last edited by budm; 08-22-2012, 10:37 PM.Never stop learning

Re: Protron PLTV-32c won't power on
Here are some pics of the mainboard removed from the tv. On the pic of the whole tv, there is a gray box on the right. That is the tuner board. Just let me know if you think I need to take that out and get some pics of it too. If there is any specific parts of the main board that you need to see closer, just let me know. Thanks for you help!Attached FilesComment

Re: Protron PLTV-32c won't power on
Those are un-drilled or un-used holes on the pcb, quite common.
Also don't scrap/pick, you can easily break traces.
Focus on the task at hand, we need to find out why the signal board is not sending the PS-ON to the PSU.Comment

Hi all,
TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!
I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

Hello,
I have re-soldered the loose pins on the RAM slot which is a common fault on these models..
It charges and turns on the power LED but is missing several voltages like RAM and CPU do not come up which I believe is due to MAINON & SUSON being missing to turn these supplies on..
What I am un-sure of is what is the ITC chip waiting for to send out these signals, what are the requirements?
I have checked these lines in diode mode and they seam normal -> 600.
I have checked to see if they come on for even a fraction of a second... -

I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump
One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy... -
Hello, I'm new to the group and to trying to repair a LCD TV. During the past few years, I've been collecting/repairing/restoring vintage personal computers (Commodore, Apple II, Atari, TRS-80, Texas Instruments, and Timex Sinclair). This has been my retirement hobby. Now I've gotten interested in trying to repair a LCD TV that I have and used regularly when working on vintage computers.
The LCD I'm working on is a Insignia NS-LCD019. I've downloaded the service manual that I could find, but it must be a different revision since not too many items in the service manual match the TV...
