    lg 37lc2d power issue.

    First of all, I must admit that I am in owe of all the knowledge people on this site have.
    I am a pure beginner.
    I have a 37" LG. Older model.
    Green light started to flash about 15 times, and would turn on.
    Was informed on this site to either replace bulging capasitors or get new power board for my model.
    Well. I bought a new Power Supply Module from a company suggested by LG.
    I installed it. Easy. Unscrew old. Install new.
    Problem?
    Still flashing green light 15 times. Then takes about 8 to 10 minutes to turn on.
    But when on, it remains on, until I shut it off.
    But I dont want to leave it on forever.
    Now I was told to buy a Mother Board, or main board.
    Is it worth it? So far I have invested 70.00. Love the T.v.
    Any suggestions on board replacement, or ideas?
    Thank You

    1) The above sounds like classic symptoms of caps having high ESR (ohms). As the TV warms up, the ESR in the caps fall and the circuit works.

    2) Post clear focused pictures of all your boards following my sig file below exactly.

    3) Do you have a multimeter and know how to use it to measure DC voltage?

    If you are new to this forum, we can help a lot more if you please post clear focused pictures (max resolution 2000x2000 and 2MB) of your boards using the manage attachments button so they are hosted here. Information and picture clarity compositions should look like this post.

    We respectfully ask that you make some time and effort to read some of the guides available for basic troubleshooting. After you have read through them, then ask clarification questions or report your findings.

    Please do not post inline and offsite as they slow down the loading of pages.

      Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
      by Tynan Dill
      I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

      Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

      I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

      The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

      With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

      Assuming...

      TCL 55RP620K power board issue
      by notallbad
      Originally the tv arrived with dimmed backlights (not failed leds) but everything else worked ok. Adjusting backlight in menu did nothing but voltage changed on dimming control pins,
      0% p_dim at 1.65v and a_dim at 1v
      50% p_dim at 3.3v and a_dim at 1.65v
      100% p_dim at 3.3v and a_dim at 2.88v

      Changed backlight leds anyway as always like to have complete peace of mind they wont fail shortly after selling the tv. No change as expected!

      Leds are 2 rows of 15 6v leds.

      On inspection of the power board found diode MBR3200 shorted so replaced with...

      by Dani_2024
      Hi and thanks in advance for any input you might provide!
      I have a Sceptre U550CV-UMRD8POTV83BB 4K LED (this is a dumb tv) that I bought new in August 2021, so It's just completed 3 years.
      Main power board model: TP.MS3683.PC821 T-Con board: N4TP546UHDPU2L_BO

      Last Sunday I was watching a dvd and fell asleep for about half hour, when I awoke the tv screen was black and couldn't get the dvd menu to show, so I changed the input to antenna and had sound but no picture, turned it off. I then got online and found this great site! ....read many troubleshooting tips and this...

      Panasonic switching power supply daughter board has two 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors which I do not keep in stock
      by sam_sam_sam
      I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow

      This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board

      After all of...
