    PowerSpec 30" LCD TV (v30dmbt)

    I got this TV, and replaced a few parts in the power supply, and now TV powers up. However, after so many seconds the TV will go black. I can hear the sound and it I switch source I can see the screen, but will go back to black in AV setting. The time will vary before it goes dark. Sometimes it was a couple of minutes other times a couple seconds.

    The TV is missing the TV tuner. Would this cause this problem, or what else should I check.

    Thanks!

    When it goes dark does the backlight go out or stay on?
    Is sound affected?

      How do you tell if the backlight is on? Would it glow? I would assume the back light is not on, because there is no glow, however the sound is good. I can still hear the movie playing. The TV will go black instantly.

      I turned it off for a bit, and after about 5 minutes starting doing the same thing.

        You will easily be able to see in a dark room. Also most LCD panels have holes in the rear which will glow when the backlight is working.

          TV will work for a bit then suddenly goes to black. The audio is still playing and the led stays green on the front. There appears to be no backlight as there isn't any glow on the screen.

          What would be the next step in troubleshooting this tv?

          Thanks again!

            In your first post you said it only does it in av mode, so if you switch to your cable input you can see the screen fine? Ive had several tvs with poorly soldered video connectors that would act in a similar manner if you wiggle the yellow one does it come back on? If so it isnt the backlight but a dry joint that can most likely be resoldered easily once you get the set open.

              I tried an s-cable and got the same results. I don't have a tv tuner with the television, so I was wondering if that was part of the problem, too.

              With the s-cable or a/v cable I could watch my dvd for a while, and then it would go to black.

                If it does it in multiple modes it is most likely the back light circuit has an intermittent fault and is shutting itself down. If you can find a replacement board you can swap them out. I had my sons tv do the same thing last weekend and I was able to isolate the shorted inverter transformer with a ring tester and just remove it from the board to get the set back up (minus a backlight) until I can source a replacement transformer. If you have a ring tester you can try testing the inverter transformers see if they are bad. Other than that you will need a new inverter board.

                  by ChaosLegionnaire
                  so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!! what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol!

                  i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing...

                  Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB (Chassis SR) TV Repair Help - Distorted Subwoofer Sound and overall weird sound waveforms
                  by LEECH666
                  Good day ladies and gentleman!

                  I am currently trying to repair a Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB LCD TV for a friend that has a weird audio problem. Basically everything works fine except for the heavily distorted sound when the Subwoofer module is connected and there is a buzzing sound coming from the PSU PCB.

                  This seems to be a rather rare TV so there is not much prior on topic help to be found however a service manual is available at the usual sources (Electro Tanya i.e.).

                  I think the PSU buzzing comes from one of the coils near the bridge rectifier but...

                  Marian Trace Alpha sound card repair help
                  by Christos Tsiligiannis
                  Hello to the forum.

                  My name is Christos, I am new to the forum here and i am posting from Greece.

                  So i have this old German sound card from Marian, called Trace Alpha. To be exact i have 2 of them and i use them professionally for my small FM radio station here. The first one works like a charm, but the second one does not work at all.

                  To be more specific in the same exact pc with windows 7 (i even tried 32bit) the one works while the other doesn't.

                  So i tried asking for a schematic from the company and they would not give me one. Instead they...
