    LG 50PJ350 Mal Discharge

    Hi,
    This TV has Mal Discharge according to all I read. This is the first time I have seen this. I downoladed a service manual. I made sure all the cables were seated. I checked The SMPS Va:60/ VS:206, Y board -VY was 198.
    My question here is it was labeled -198 on pannel but the place on the Y board has marked - and + for polarity for meter and meter showed 198.
    Z board Zbias was 95. All the voltages were good but My 60Mhz scope could not capture the Y drive signals. I tried my 100Mhz scope but I think it has a broblem. I need a 200Mhz scope with a 2g samping rate?
    I read that Mal Discharge could be caused by the Y or Z or Control Board or all three. The Y has the highest failure Rate then the Z board. But how do I single out the correct board. if I get another scope what signals do I really need to look at? What scope settings are best? I tried using a white screen but it did not help. The Red, Green and Blue screens all had the same problems but I only posted the Red. it does have picture if you apply video to the HDMI input.

    I know to you guys this seems stupid but I did ROV underwater robotics for 28 yrs that had industrial electronics, camers, telemetry systems, motors, relay logic etc..being retired, this year I started repairing TVs. I did tv 30 yrs ago and alot has changed but I am learning the new stuff. it is fun and challanging at the same time. Thanks for any help.

      I removed the Y board and checked all the cap ESR with Cap Wizard, checked transistor and mosfets with Sencore Cricket and diodes wiith Fluke 97 meter. No problems.
      Removed Z board checked caps-good. Found Q312 bad FQPF9N25C a 250 volt N channel mosfet. I had a service manual but no full schematics only partials. I will replace the other one next to it while I am at it. Hopefully this will fix the problem. The customer wanted a new board. Found a refurbished for 28 bucks plus shipping from Encompass had same warrenty as new. I will fix this board as a spare for future use. Is this ethical?

        I can't see a problem with keeping customer's old board... ask them if they want it first.

        A 20MHz scope is sufficient for viewing sustain waveforms, I've used one before. There is a point marked VS_DA which provides a trigger signal synchronised to the sustain waveforms.
        Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!
        For service manual, schematic, boardview (board view), datasheet, cad - use our search.

            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...

            Need advice testing a samsung power supply board with scope
            by repair-it
            I am attempting to test a samsung power supply board to verify the pfc ic is working. I am powering up the board with my isolation transformer. The board turns on fine but when I attempt to connect the ground for the scope probe, it trips out the isolator. I was taught not to 'float my scope' so I am wondering if I should test without connecting the ground lead or would that be asking for trouble? Not sure how else to test, I don't have a portable scope. I could plug direct to mains power but that would bypass the safety factor.

            LG OLED77G1PUA - No Video / Audio after a TCON Board change and Software Update
            by Hakuu
            Hi There,

            This TV was auto switching off after few seconds with some vertical lines on the screen, so got a new TCON board and replaced it.

            After replacing the TCON board it was working fine and i set it up with everything, used for few hours, then had the bright idea to update the software on it. During the update process, TV switched off and now no audio or video. No relay switch sound.

            More Details

            TV Model - LG OLED77G1PUA

            Got the same exact TCON board from TVPartsToday and replaced it. But didnt transfer the EPPROM data (didnt...

            Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
            by jb_Bak
            Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

            Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
            Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
            CN6401
            Pin 01 NC
            Pin 02 NC
            Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
            Pin 04 "N/C"
            Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
            Pin 06 "GND": N/C
            Pin 07 "AC_OFF"...
