    Re: 37LH5000 Switches itself off

    Could it be bad caps on the inverter board, although they do look ok

      Those can be tested if the BRI signal is found to be solid. If the BRI is varying there is no point in testing them because they would not be causing the fault. One test at a time, eliminate one component after another.

          Re: 37LH5000 Switches itself off

          Ok tom, update:

          At standby i get 0.06
          Then switch on values from bright to off is:

          3.24 then
          1.71 then
          a range from 0.70 - 1.00

          It goes through each stage quite quick so this is the rough values i get. Are these in normal limits? whats next to try?

            It should stay at one value, something on the main board is bad.

              that plug goes to the main board though dosent it, would the fault be coming from the power supply to the main board or coming from it? if that makes sense lol

                Re: 37LH5000 Switches itself off

                That was the brightness pin that i tested so in theory it would drop in voltage as it gets dimmer i would have thought?

                  The signal is from the main board to the inverter or power supply, a lower voltage indicates the backlight is requested to be dimmer. (0V=10% bright (min), 3V=100% bright)

                    ok so whats next to test? and why would it be requested to be dimmer?

                      I am thinking the software on the main board is bad, perhaps try applying a firmware update.

                          I don't know, but there should be instructions on the LG website.

                            Ok ive just tried that, put the update onto usb and put it in, but it doesnt give you enough time to do anything as it turns off after the 3 stages of dimness

                                no because after the 3rd time it then powers off.

                                  Hmm. OK.
                                  Try pressing MENU on the remote and MENU on the TV. Hold both for 10 seconds. What do you see? If it prompts for a password, enter "0000" or "1234".

                                    ive just tried that, just get the menu boxes up...the tv prob stays on for 10 secs or so while it does the 3 stages then powers off so doesnt give time to do anything.

                                      All I can suggest is main board replacement then.
                                      Looks like it's around £25~£30

                                          Well its not the main board, got a replacement today and its still doing it. Could it be a bad TCON board or the inverter?

                                            2 Belkin KVM switches have dim VGA output
                                            by MrCreosote
                                            When compared to a direct VGA connection, these 2 switches both output a darker image. The switches are:

                                            4-port Omniview Pro2 f1dz104t
                                            8-port Omniview either f1da108t OR f1dz108t (look and function same, OSD may be only difference.)

                                            The 4 is dimmer, the 8 is massively dimmer - both with same AC adapter and cabling.

                                            AD ADAPTER:

                                            There were issues with previous AC adapter, it failed during lightning strike that blew up TV and other stuff and tripped a 15 amp breaker in the main panel which also had a whole house Cutler Hammer surge...

                                            Hisense H60N5705 installed in a conference room, turns off automatically a few minutes after being switched on.

                                            Problem occurred suddenly, during a video conference. Switched on again by the remote control, it continued to work for a while and then switched off again.

                                            Power cable and HDMI cable checked.

                                            No changes by connecting the TV to another source but, even if it is left on the OSD menu, it stays on for a few minutes and then switches off.

                                            So they took the TV (a 60' which is not easy to handle) to the lab and asked me to check it.

                                            help with finding replacement switches
                                            by merkin
                                            These switches are bad and I need a replacement.
                                            The dimension are:
                                            L: 10mm
                                            W: 5mm
                                            H: 4.5mm

                                            Pins are 5mm center to center both length wise and width wise.

                                            Any help would be appreciated....

                                            MSI GP62 6QF - powers on, keyboard and power button lights up, then switches off.

                                            Motherboard is: MS-16J51 (i think).

                                            Symptoms:
                                            1) press power button: keyboard and power button leds light up.
                                            a) nothing on the screen.
                                            b) fans are not spinning.
                                            c) no sounds.
                                            2) after about 1 min 15 secs the laptop switches off.

                                            I have tried flashing the bios, which I download from:
                                            here.

                                            Not sure this board has a separate flash chip for the EC....

                                            Bit of a weird one. Unit will only stay on for a few minutes and functions correctly while it's on. Output to speakers normal. Then switches off. No power, no standby, unit is dead. 10 minutes later, it can be turned back on and functions normally again. It's not generating any heat. Has anyone seen anything similar ?
