I have a RCA 42PA30RQ which will not turn on. When you turn it on the blue Light comes on in the front and you hear a clicking three times. I've taken the back cover off and have disconnected the Y-Main and Y buffer board and Z-Main to see if the clicking would stop. When I disconnect the two boards, instead of it clicking three times the clicking goes down to one. I have checked the Y Buffer to see if there is any shorts and it looks good. So I kind of wondering if It could be just the power supply bad, becasue it still click when turned on. Thanks again for help

Re: RCA 42PA30RQ Clicking now Power
This TV commonly experiences Y-main (Y-Sus) and X-main (Z-Sus) failures. I doubt your PSU is bad. Did you check your PSU VS and VA output voltages with the Y-main (Y-Sus) and X-main(Z-Sus) disconnected? Try removing the Y-main and X-main boards from the TV and testing the transistors and diodes on the heat sinks for shorts. Also, there are few threads on this TV and similar thin-profile Samsung-based TVs.Last edited by capkid; 09-28-2013, 10:22 AM.Comment

Re: RCA 42PA30RQ Clicking now Power
I did Check the Voltage with the boards disconnected. And the Voltage seems to be fine. I don't really know the history of this TV because my buddy just brought a new one right after it had died so I told him I would give it a shot and try fixing it. I do believe that the one click could be the TV actually powering on. There's a two second pause than a click after I turn the TV on. SO I guess its just the TV powering on when I hear the one Click. I think my first purchase is going to me the Y-Main. Like I said earlier I had already check the Y Buffer for shorts and it seems fine. So I guess this is my first step. Good Idea?Comment

Re: RCA 42PA30RQ Clicking now Power
When you replace boards on these thin Samsungs, it is highly recommended to replace both X- and Y-Main boards at the same time due to how the energy recovery path is chained between boards.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: RCA 42PA30RQ Clicking now Power
I was actually going to ask that because I know the X-Main feeds off the Y-MainComment

Re: RCA 42PA30RQ Clicking now Power
I agree with Tom. If you're going to board swap without doing further testing, replace both the Y-main and X-main. Otherwise, the risk is high that you will blow your replacement Y-main. ShopJimmy.com is your best bet because of their 6-month warranty.
Edit: It sounds like Tom is advocating replacing both regardless of a singular failure.Last edited by capkid; 09-28-2013, 10:48 AM.Comment

Re: RCA 42PA30RQ Clicking now Power
Forgive me if I sound like a novice to this....But How would I Test the other boards for shorts. The only way I knew how to test the Y Buffer for shorts is by watching a Video Tom had posted on a thread. Again, I'm new to this but pretty good at teaching my self with electronics. As long as I have knowledgeable People like yourself to guide me.Comment

Re: RCA 42PA30RQ Clicking now Power
Each of the transistors (three legged devices) on the heatsinks, test them. To test a transistor mentally number pins 1,2,3, order doesn't matter but be consistent between devices. Then test on diode mode between 1-2, 2-3 and 1-3. The only reading expected is a reverse diode (300 ~ 800mV) between S-D pins (two of the pins.) For two legged devices -- diodes -- test between 1-2 and 2-1, you are expecting a value of 100 ~ 800mV one way and open circuit the other way.
Readings of near zero are indicative of a shorted transistor/diode, and hence bad board. Depending on the price of the board, replacing it may be more economical than repairing it, especially if you have less experience with diagnosing and testing MOSFET and IGBT circuits.Last edited by tom66; 09-28-2013, 11:01 AM.Please do not PM me with questions!

Re: RCA 42PA30RQ Clicking now Power
I'm going to replace both boards anyway I just kind of wanted to know for my own knowledge and also if I order used parts I want to be able to check them to make sure there not bad when I get them.Comment

Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?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.

Hi all!
I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅
I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

Hi all,
TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!
I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!
A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about... -
The sub developed a constant popping every couple seconds from woofer and power LED flickering with nothing but wall AC connected. Connecting an audio cable didn't change anything. It doesn't play but a second or two of audio in between the pops.
Opened it up and discovered the power supply is making a faint clicking or ticking sound.
I measured the amp's output to the woofer and it pulses up to 50mv DC to be driver. The pulses coincide with the power supply ticking/clicking.
I measured the power supply output going to the amp board and it too has this pulsing. Voltage cycles... -
I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump
One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...
