    Possible Purchase: LG 37LC7D

    Owner said, "it's a dark glowing black when you turn it on", which
    means the backlight appears to be working.

    But when I asked if he can get the menu to show up at all, and if there is sound, he said:

    "No it seems like it is just on stand by. No sound or anything will happen. If you constantly turn it off and on and unplug it and plug it back in it will work eventually but it takes a few days of constant turning on and off power."

    It sounds like bad caps on the power supply section that feeds the main
    board, right? The backlight inverter sounds like it's working.

    What do you guys think? $15 or so?

      Between this and this I'm becoming fairly intimate with this PSU board!

      Backlight inverter is on the main PSU board. If the backlight is coming on then it would suggest the main MICOM IC is running and trying to start the set up. I'd say STBY_5V is ok (which is regulated to 3.3V for the MICOM). Not many caps on STBY_5V that would get much stress anyway.

      There are 3.3V and 5V regulators switched by the MICON that power all of the signal processing circuits. There's also a switched 12V which I'm pretty sure only goes to the amplifier circuits. There is a bunch of electros on the 12V, 5V and 3.3V rails so if they were faulty it could definitely cause some intermittent operation like that.

      It's a pretty straightforward power supply design so wouldn't be difficult to repair if that is indeed the issue. For $15 it's worth a punt. It's not a bad picture from this set either.

          LG 42LV5400-UB doesn't power up, Micom issue
          by Yanleb
          Hi all,

          This repair is very challenging. I already made my way to the problem. Please read the complete post before commenting. I need the help from good gurus.

          The power button on the TV set is working, the same for the power button on the remote control. When activated the power LED changes from red to white and the power supply relay clicks. But no image appears, and no sound is heard.

          I already investigated the problem. the Micom chip on the EBR73110104/EBT61520408 main board is the issue. The Micom is IC602 that use the μPD78F0514 (UPD78F0514)...

          Samsung Galaxy Tabpro S BIOS and Micom Version doesn't match
          by TJ65
          Hello everyone,
          i made out of two broken Samsung Galaxy Tabpro S one that works partially.
          The one Mainboard had a broken screen output but working hdmi (usb c adapter) output and the other didnt start at all.
          I switch the bios chips and now the tablet starts but very very slow and it takes some trys to get it starting.
          The problem is, that the micom Version doesn't match with the bios version, see picture.
          How can i update the Micom Version? The Samsung bios update wont work.
          With https://github.com/tavinus/SamsungBIOSTools i could extract the newest bios update...

          MacBook Pro M1 Pro Logic Board 820-02100 Mosfet where to purchase?
          by prodigy83
          My reference only: TT10141.

          Problem: I need to purchase a mosfet chip from board 820-02100 M1 Pro, that is supposed to be Q5820 but according to Digikey, the schematic diagram I sent them, neither are relevant to the actual mosfet specification I sent them. I just basically need to find this mosfet to purchase, I cannot find it anywhere and am hoping someone could point me in the right direction without have to purchase this entire allusive board. Already checked with Digikey, Mouser, Aliexpress, eBay. Any suggestions?

          Mosfet specs are as follows:

          Samsung B2030HD IR Remote Receiver Dead, shorted micom?
          by jesterace
          Hi,
          I have this TV a small 20 inch that works perfectly except for the IR has stopped. I have confirmed that the remote control is fine and tried an alternative and even tried with IR blaster from phone. Remote 100% ok.

          Tried installing latest firmware but no change.

          TV won't respond to remote at all, not even to bring it out of standby. I have to use the touch sensitive front panel to operate, at which point TV is usable albeit with no remote.

          Tried replacing the IR receiver diode/bulb on front panel and no change so put the old one back. After tracing...

          what capacitor should I purchase for LCD display PCB?
          by chth96
          I want to fix Video door phone which works its doorbell but it is not able to display any screen.
          So I disassembled its plastic case and I detached FPC film cable from LCD display in order to inspect LCD display's PCB
          I measured ESR resistance of all smd capacitor on this PCB and I noticed that there is some SMD capacitor which has high ESR value(48ohm 50V 0.47uf,15 and 28 ohm 50v 3.3uf,10 and 8 ohm 35v 10uf)
          I desoldered this 5 suspicious SMD capacitor like below screenshot.

          But I cannot identify specification of desoldered...
