    Mkay, but before you order it, unplug one half of the panel and see if it stays on with either half removed.

      No, it shuts off with one side or no sides of the panel connected. Now when I put both ribbons back in it won't fire the backlights for the one second that it was before I disconnected the ribbons. So now it seems to be more screwed up than it was before I disconnected the ribbon cables.

        T-con is probably dead now completely, but I've had boards fail partially then die completely on me before, not uncommon, I was just trying to rule out a short in one side of the panel (unlikely as you're seeing a picture though.)

        Unplug both sides of panel, see if it fires up: I expect not.
        Then unplug t-con: I expect it will fire up with backlight.

          New tcon installed with original psu. Seems like another one fixed.

            Great. Very strange fault. How's the 120Hz on this TV?

              I've seen better.

              Right after I posted that it was working, a buddy sent me a text asking if I had any TVs for sale. I gave him a really good deal on it, so it's gone already. I had to put it back together in a flash because he was on his way. I wish they all sold that fast.

              At any rate, he's happy, I'm happy. On to the next one.

                Never found 100Hz/120Hz to look good. I'd expect the same for 200/240Hz. I always turn it off.

                I have never heard of a t-con drawing enough current to collapse the PFC bus. This will be one to add to my list of checks.

                  I really don't think the PFC bus was dropping out. The PSU wasn't shutting off, I think it was just going into protection. The 12V and 16V rails were dropping out but the big cap and the PS_ON always responded to the ON/OFF button like I would expect from a functioning PSU. I had a PSU with a bad PFC circuit in a previous TV, remember the 47" Sharp/UniHan I worked on late last year? On that one the 3.3V PS_ON never responded to the button and the big cap never got over 170V.

                  Though I do admit that you know way more than me.

                    I thought you were only getting ~310V at one point on PFC?

                        Must be mixed up with something else, heh.

                          Anker SoundCore 2 Bluetooth Speaker Turns Off After a Few Seconds (Possibly Firmware Issue?)
                          by zklgfs
                          Hi,

                          I have an Anker SoundCore 2 (A3105) that I saved from the trash (well, I guess there's a reason why it was supposed to go into the trash...). The problem is that it always turns off after a few seconds (sometimes it stays on a bit longer, between 30 and 60 seconds, but it still turns off). The power light turns on and the bluetooth light starts blinking, but both abruptly turn off again. The "turn off sound" is still played after the lights turn off. Sometimes, it also loops the on-off cycle several times without me pressing any buttons. If I connect an AUX cable, music...

                          Lenovo Legion 5 high fan spin turns off after 34 seconds
                          by twonk9098
                          Hi all,

                          I have a Lenovo Legion 5 with a Ryzen 7 series CPU and RTX 3070 GPU. My issue is that it turns on and all seems fine except after a few seconds the fans spin up high and the laptop turns off after 34 seconds.
                          I can get into bios and can even boot and login to Windows however after 34 seconds no matter if Im at the bios screen or booted into Windows it will just turn off.

                          I have managed to run HWmonitor and the temperatures of the CPU and GPU are fine, I can also touch the heatsync which is warm but not hot.

                          I have tried a few new bios but exactly...

                          by liquidzorch
                          Hello. I bought a faulty Lenovo ideapad 3, but it turns out the 3Valw buck converter burnt a hole through the board. I was able to clean it up, and remove all the shorts. I now can power the 3.3v rails from a bench power suppy while connecting the laptop to its psu, and I get the additional 5valw, 1.8v, and 1.05v, form what I can tell in the schematics, those are the only 4 voltages I should see before turning on, and they are present. When I hit the power button, the power indicator on the left side turns on (not the one on the power button), stays on for about 12 seconds, then turns off for...

                          by Rick_1234
                          Good evening, gentlemen.

                          I have a problem with my monitor. It turns off after a few seconds or flickers. Shining a flashlight on the screen doesn't show any image, so I guess it's not the "2 seconds to dark" I read in the forum.

                          To turn it back on, I have to press the power button twice. Then after a few seconds it turns off again or flickers. See video.

                          Harman/Kardon AVR 645 returning to stand-by after a few seconds.
                          by PowellSkier
                          A Harman/Kardon AVR 645 repair has been a hobby of mine for the past several years. My latest attempt involved the purchase of a DOA unit for part swapping and testing. The original AVR would power up then shut down after a few seconds. I completely tore down both units, found a couple of bad components and reassembled one of them. Same issue, no speakers connected. After extensive research I found a repair document from Harman/Kardon that explains the protection circuit in fantastic detail and provides specific test points for each fault (power, DC detection, overload & power) and the voltage...
