    Rainbow RB-1 Telesensory TV viewer

    Hi Guys,

    Has anyone heard of a Rainbow RB-1 Telesensory Aladdin viewer? It is used by people with sight problems as you have a viewer below which you lay a newspaper for example and then it magnifies it and you view it on the CRT.

    I was asked by a neighbour as he knew I had fixed a TV, with Tom66's help to see if it can be fixed, basically it has power coming into the unit as the lights that illuminate the newspaper come on, you cannot hear anything from the CRT.

    Any suggestions?

      Samsung UN55NU7300F Curved TV. Half side backlight out. Fixed by just removing the rear snap cover
      by howardc64
      TV was fixed just after removing Samsung's rear snap cover.

      This curved TV's construction is rather interesting. When the snapped on back is removed, rest of the TV will relax the curvature. Top of LCD panel is loose as it wants to straighten out against the slightly curved bezel. Snapped back provide most of the curvature shape. So just simple disassembly of rear cover will allow the rest of the TV frame to relax its curvature. Thats probably what fixed it but no idea which connection. 4x LEDs are edge lit.

      Maybe PSU->backlight connector didn't have a good contact?...

      ASUS Vivobook X1500e - no image and no backlight. Can this be fixed?
      by dfear
      ASUS Vivobook X1500e came in with no image and no backlight.

      Motherboard is: x415ea.

      Current knowledge/observations:
      RAM, LCD & LID sensor = oood.
      LCD connector - AC_BAT_SYS_ is present.
      D4501 schottky diode - LCD_BACKOFF# is always 3.3V, whether the lid is closed or not.
      CPU thermal signature seems normal.
      Laptop boots and outputs to HDMI.

      Is part of the CPU bad or can this be fixed?

      Vizio M65Q7-H1 Red Vertical Strips fixed by tape blocking LC1 signal to half of the panel
      by howardc64
      Failure Symptom



      No picture, just red vertical stripes. Google search shows quite common problem for these recent Vizio M series although red vertical stripe pattern may differ. Some call it "Netflix" boot screen haha.

      Where is the short?

      Panel has 4x buffer boards. Quickly found the 1/4 panel buffer board with the problem by selectively disconnecting buffer board flex cables.



      Having recently fixed another Vizio with similar symptoms that was a shorted ESD diode array ( link ) Probed the ESD diode array but...

      LG 55UN7000PUA fixed with just dis/reassembly
      by howardc64
      TV runs, backlight on, have sound and no image (dark grey/blue/black LCD)

      Disconnected right (looking from rear of TV) tcon-buffer board cable, LCD left half displays.
      No shorts on right buffer board.
      Started masking tcon-buffer board signals... (connection #1 in main board pic) about 20+ pins from top of connector... LCD fully displays with some anomalies.
      Gradually reduced # of masking signals... eventually down to 1. Removed that... LCD works perfectly.
      No obvious damage on right buffer board 3x COF to the panel like another 43" LG fixed ( link ) with...
