    The caps fail because they are Samwha, in my opinion, second worse cap manufacturer in world, only behind CapXon…

        I didn't see the fall. I just got it from a friend and I thought it would be fun to try and get it functional again. I'm an amateur, so I'm going to take small manageable steps for now and work up my skills and toolset to the point where I can keep up a bit better with you guys. I have taken MITx's 6.002 Circuits and Electronics course though. So I have some low level understanding. I'm interested in learning more. :-)

        I ordered the FR caps.

                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...

                Sony Bravia XBR 55X900E cycling through test patterns: which board(s) to replace?
                by patricksurry
                We had a power outage but TV seemed to be working fine afterward. This morning it showed a "grainy" picture, and then next time we turned it on it's stuck in a test-pattern loop. None of the resets I've tried have any effect, including unplug/wait/plug in - it immediately goes into this cycling test pattern.

                Does this suggest the main board needs replaced? The TV is about 5 years old, picture still looks great (tho limiting to crisp red/green/blue/white lacks some variety ...

                How Can I test PWM DM0365R?
                by chth96
                Hello
                I have power adaptor(220V/input, 12V 1.2A/output) which has symptom of fluctuating output DC voltage between 11.5V-12.2V.
                So I opened its plastic case and when switched it on, I heard constant tik tik sound from inside its PCB.
                I measured DC voltage between negative and positive pin of the largest capacitor(400v 10uf) and it was measured contant 300V.
                I also measured ESR value of all capacitors and I noticed that one of capacitor(KMG 16v 470uf), which located in the secondary side, have high ESR value(10 ohm),So I replaced it with same specification NXH capacitor....

                test active pfc power with lamp test
                by khelane
                Hello
                I have a big problem and that is that in some cases when repairing active pfc power supplies I cannot work with a test lamp. I can only get help with 5 volts standby and for starting and starting I have to work without a lamp and this way there is a possibility of parts exploding and other parts being added.
                Sometimes with a multimeter test the problems can be reduced to some extent, but I had several cases that had to be tested on and online and recently two varistors exploded. They had terrible resistance because the power supplies were over 800 watts.
                Is there a way...
