    Rca 32la30rq problems

    I have this 32" RCA tv that belongs to a friend. She said it will work for a day or two sometimes then won't work for a week or so. She also said that once the tv was on the only way to turn off was to unplug it. When she gave it to me I got the power led to change from red to blue but I never got a picture, tried turning off and like she said, nothing from the control panel or remote. I have had the control panel problem before and it ended up being a am-1117 voltage regulator on the main board. I probed all of the VR's on this main board and everything seemed to be within spec. All output's on the power supply are on all the time now! Even in the current state it's in with the red LED (off) position. Can't seem to get it to power up again like it did when I first got it. Anyone got any suggestions? All power supply voltages are within spec. I'm still thinking Main board but not sure.

    nobody??
    Couldn't find a service manual either but if anyone might know where one is please direct me towards it.

      rmoody....I am having the same problem as you are. Plug it in and shes on however the screen is lit but no control over the other function buttons. I am wondering and looking into replacing the whole powerboard of which I suspect. The reason I feel this way is that the other board (tuner etc) seems to be effected as well in which I believe the the power board is not giving power to the proper circuits to function normally. I had a Sharp lcd dong the same thing and I replaced about half of the capacitors on that board and I recovered a good set back to normal and to this day after a year is still working fine. My guess the power. Again expensive, but an easy solution to the problem..jon

        I'm having problems with an RCA 32LA45RQ with no service manual, however I noticed printed on the power supply board it shows all the voltages that should be present on pins for the connectors. You may want to see if they are on your board also.

          I think the problem you are having is the EEPROM IC. I just got one of these TVs today and the only way to turn it on is with the remote. I can turn it on and off with the remote only but that is it. I tested all the voltage regulators and they seem to be good so now I am looking into getting an EEPROM. I will post what happens.

            I got the EEPROM and put it in today but sad to say it did not fix the problem. I guess I have to order a main board. But my opinion is why order the same board that is only going to go bad again. I have a main board for a LEGEND L3211 and all the wires connected but there was no way I could screw it down so I used jumper wires. The TV turned on but the RCA remote had no effect. I used the buttons on the side and it was all working but the buttons are not coded right. Push vol+ and the volume goes up but when I push Vol- the channel goes down.

            I guess I will keep my eye out for a cheap main board and buy it, looks like I got no choice unless someone figures out how to fix the main board.

              Check the ESR values of the caps on the Main Board. Perhaps two of them maybe high caising ripple voltage to leak and affect the DC supply line to the CPU Core or the DDR Ram ICs...

                I did not have an ESR meter, and they are so darn expensive for a nice one. Tried to test the ESR with an ohm meter and that seems impossible. So I decided to buy a cheap one for $17.00, not happy about that because I wanted a nice one.

                What is a good ESR value for a 100uf 25v Cap?

                  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...

                  by m1ch43lzm
                  Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
                  Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

                  LG 60PK550 Logic Control Board EBR63450301
                  by Yanleb
                  Hi all, I just want to share the repair of my 60PK550-UA TV set.

                  The TV set was powering on, just no image. After verification, nothing wrong on the YSus or ZSus boards. Nothing wrong on the main board either.

                  But I noticed that the LED was not flashing on the Logic Control Board. This is an EBR63450301. The LED is supposed to flash even with all the flat cables disconnected, with only the power cable attached.

                  All the voltages measured at the electrolytic capacitors on the board were good. From top left to bottom right:
                  C57: 3.30V
                  C61:...

                  I have been having issues with this garage door opener for a while first the range of the remote was a lot less and sometimes it would start to go down and stop for no reason that I could find and would every once in awhile to start with then it started going more frequently until last Saturday when I opened the garage door it refused to close so I cranked up force all the way maximum limit this did not work also the sensor on one side that has a green and red lights that are supposed to be on when the door is open and there are no obstacles in the way on the original board the only light that...

                  Control Board Replacement for 2K display
                  by redoxy
                  I am looking at the option of replacing my control/driver board to one with HDMI and/or Display port input on a 2K LED (I think IPS) screen.

                  The display is Samsung LTM270DL07.

                  I have tried using the model number to search for a compatible control/driver board but so far my efforts have been futile.

                  I am looking for inputs on what board could potentially be used for my display.

                  Attached are pictures of the display label information and connectors (CON30 CON40 only) and pictures of the current control board.
                  Also attached is a technical...
