    Hitachi P50v701 ps quality

    Hey all I just picked up this hitachi p50v701 plasma. Known issue is turns on quick flash of the raster then shutdown with blue led flashing 3 times. Closer inspection shows 2 100v 3300uf caps domed in the vs output of the ps. Ok so research shows that this issue will eventually spike the upper and lower scan boards shorting an ic and wreak havoc on the ysus. I got lucky on this set cause the buffers are still testing ok. With both buffers disconnected set will stay on for about 2 minutes then shutdown with same 3 blink. My testing shows massive ripple in the vs line. You can actually see this on the screen with massive maldischarge pixel flash and vertical smearing of the osd before it cuts out.

    I have not run into another power supply using such high value caps like this. With the rest of the tv seeming like high quality boards and build why would they cheap out on the power supply and cut corners and not have more circuitry added in so they don't need 3300uf caps?

    Did I leave the soldering iron on?

    My guess is the caps were insufficient - potentially they just reached the end of their useful life.

      True. I've repaired many power supplies on the past but this supply seems rudimentary.

        Ok new caps in the power supply. Same problem. Power up and quick flash of maldischarge. Then powers off immediately and 3 flashes. Ysus board error.
        My question. I have had repaired buffer boards before but how do u test these buffer boards? I cannot visually see any burned ic's. and both upper and lower board when installed individually does the same thing. Although for like 5 seconds before when the lower board was on the set stayed on with a lit lower raster. Blank of course.
        Thanks guys

          Actually it was the buffer boards. I'm in the process of rebuilding them at the moment. Got the top one finished. Loos good just one chip bad there. The bottom on the other hand has four shorted chips. Fun fun. Still trying to work the bugs out of it.

            How do you test the buffer boards without seeing a burnt IC? I tested for short to ground but I did not find any shorts. I am thinking I have a bad Y-SUS or PS.

              Backlight strip quality, Amazon vs Ebay vs ShopJimmy. Is there really a difference?
              by DXseekerMO
              Hello everyone!

              Recently I've noticed that some ShopJimmy backlight strips don't have double-sided tape installed upon them when an application calls for it, and I must purchase the tape separately. In a recent chat conversation with a customer service agent I told them if this tape wasn't applied when it was called for I would begin to consider ordering my backlight strips elsewhere. It looks like this time may have come.

              I recently got a TCL 65S4 with bad backlights. After looking at the SJ listing here: https://www.shopjimmy.com/tcl-jl-d65...365as-m-led-ba...

              Samsung UE43NU7122 has Picture, but no Backlight
              by Fenzon
              Greetings fellow DYIers, the moment I discovered this community forum, nostalgia has hit me pretty hard, this early web 2.0 look and feel is close to home. I can't describe my happiness seeing active forums that survived today, and its not just yet another centralized propriety subreddit.

              Before I describe my issue with this particular TV, I would like to let you know that I do have basic electronic competence, and some electronic component knowledge. I also am an electrical installation technician student, although we exclusively study alternating currents and our primary...

              TV Model: Hitachi 40HYC42
              Power Supply: 17IPS71
              MainBoard: 17MB95M
              Panel: VES400UNDS-2D-NO3

              When the set came in it was dead. Fuse was open primary side and the power mosfet was shorted. So I ordered a new power supply. Now it turns on, only displays "Hitachi" and then power off red and blue led flashing.

              I had to modify the 0ohm resistors in the led backlight of the new PS like the original power supply.
              Is there any variants on 17IPS71 power supply's?

              UART output pins 10 and 12 on scart connector:

              Help finding the correct model of a T-Con board on my Hitachi TV
              by sotodefonk
              Hi, I have a Hitachi tv model L47V651, there is no image, but sound and backlights turn on, so I believe the issue is the tcon board.

              I opened the tv to access the board and took the shared pictures of the T-Con board.

              I saw a video from shopjimmy on how to detect the model number on tcon boards, but this doesn't have a sticker like how that video showed all boards.

              I searched the P/N number and got results with the same marking name and P/N my board has but they list other specific tv models like Vizio and Philips brand but not Hitachi.

              Inspecting...
