    panasonic TC-l37x2 clicking power

    Have a panasonic that i've changed the power board because you turn it on.. the red light turns on and stays on. no screen power but the optical light for sound cuts on.. after 20 minutes you hear the power board click twice .. red light goes out. and cuts right back on... and it just repeats this process. any ideas?

    sorry not 20 minutes.. just 20 seconds after it cuts on you hear something on the power board click twice then back to red light on and no screen or sound then repeats every 20 seconds

      When the TV starts up, is the red light on solid or does it blink? In other words what you see for the LED does it appear normal for TV to startup.

      On our pansonics red is standy, flashes green on startup and solid green when the TV is on and working.

      What I'm thinking is a bad or shorted backlight cct. I had a 19" Pana, it would just continually try to start and recycle it self but no fault codes, just kept blink green LED.

      I found a shorted H-fet transistor that drove the CCFL transformers. Once I removed the short and isolated the leads to the fluros, it started up normal, had sound and using a flashlight I could see an image.

      It only ran for a matter of seconds and shutdown to a 1 blink error or backlight error becaused it did not detect the backlight.

      maybe you have a similar issue.

        Sorry had to edit this, I don't touch LCD much, X Series does appear to be CCFL (for a moment thought it was LED)

        One of TOM's stockpile of manuals.

          It's EEFL which is very similar to CCFL but has external electrode which gives it a longer lifespan.

            You're right, i saw that but like you say essentially fluro. never heard of EEFL before but I generally don't touch LCD so my knowledge of them is low.

              I suspect that 19" TH-L19X10AK I had may have been EEFL too, 2009/2010 model.

                  and If I try to hold the power to power it off.. red light goes off.. then it clicks again and turns red light back on..

                    That sounds EXACTLY like the problem I had with my TC-L32X1.

                    Turns out it was the main board. Thankfully I (guessed?) correctly the first time and chose that over the power board. I've been running it for about 2 months now no problems!

                        All I can suggest with my only experience is the backlight cct, It's just a theory, I could be wrong. I only responded because it sounds very similar behaviour to my 19".

                        Q7801,7802,7803,7804 may be shorted?

                        I tinker with plasmas mainly.

                        Good to see someone else has some experience with your symptoms , hope it works out for you.

                          I got my main board for around $42 on ebay. But even down to your experience with holding the power button down and seeing the optical light act accordingly, all exactly like my problem before replacing the board.

                          Obviously I can't say with 100% certainty that is your problem, but I can tell you that is EXACTLY how mine was before I replaced the main board to fix the issue.

                          Good luck!

                            Panasonic Plasma TH-50PZ85U No screen No blinks on red power light
                            by Alicat
                            Hello,

                            Stopped by this site trying to fix my parents Panasonic Plasma TV.

                            Model number is TH-50PZ85U

                            Power comes on and the red power light stays on solid.

                            Did a few checks like hold the power button on for 60 seconds, hold the - Volume while holding the menu button, no luck, still@ blank grey screen as the screen lights up very vague.

                            I also hear a few clicks.

                            I also think my parents said there was a thunderstorm and the TV failed after that.

                            Section 6 in the service manual talks about power and no screen,...

                            Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
                            by PantherDave
                            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.

                            Definitive technology SC 2000 subwoofer amp's power supply clicking and popping
                            by JimBanville
                            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...

                            LG 39ln540v - red light flashes twice, no power to LED driver?
                            by russpall
                            Hi there,

                            I've got a 39" LG 39LN540V that's just spontaneously stopped working! The symptoms are - when I plug it in, the red light will flash on twice, then go out, there's no visible picture, and I couldn't see anything using a torch on the panel either. If I press the power button (either remote or on TV), the red light comes on continuously. If I press power again, the red light flashes twice.

                            The TV is using a power board EAX64905301. I've attached a diagram of the power output, I've tested the voltages with a multimeter and I'm getting the following:
