    Magnavox 39MF412B, turns on for 10 secs then shuts off

    It turns on long enough to see the logo/splash screen, and even the OSD for a second or two.

    Voltages going from PS to Mainboard

        Sorry, I spaced out, and forgot to paste.

        Voltages going from PS to mainboard (with set OFF):

        Code:
        Pin 1 
        Pin 2 0v
        Pin 3 6.9v
        Pin 4 0v
        Pin 5 0v
        Pin 6 3.3v
        Pin 7 18.2v
        Pin 8 0v
        Pin 9 6.9v
        Pin 10 0v
        Pin 11 0v
        Pin 12 6.9v
        Now, readings with the set ON

        Code:
        Pin 1 0v 
        Pin 2 0v
        Pin 3 11.9v
        Pin 4 0v
        Pin 5 0v
        Pin 6 3.3v
        Pin 7 27.2v
        Pin 8 0v
        Pin 9 11.2v
        Pin 10 0v
        Pin 11 0v
        Pin 12 11.2v
        In particular, I'd like to focus on pin 7, which seems high when the TV is on. There are no other threads here on this model.

        Mainly, I want to document my findings. All caps appear good,
        but it's probably worth replacing them all, retesting, just to see if there's a change.

        Interesting bit of info: When the set sits for a while unplugged,
        when plugged back in, the pin 7 readout is 18.2v, however once
        the set turns on then off again, it drops to 25v, then back UP to 27.2v
        and pretty much stays there with the TV off!

        To me, this indicates a capacitor is storing too much energy and keeps
        it after the set is off again. Does anyone concur?

        I think this is the SM: http://elektrotanya.com/?q=showresul...oria=&kat2=all
        I'll go over it in the morning and see if I find any good schematics to help with troubleshooting components.

          Re: Magnavox 39MF412B, turns on for 10 secs then shuts off

          Yeah, I read it this morning and it was a manual for a CRT TV.

          For some reason that's only result that came up when searching for Magnavox A21T0UH

          Does any one have the correct manual for Magnavox chassis A21T0UH?
          Or know of a good source for Philips / Magnavox service manuals?

            Dell E6420 XFR Rugged starts to boot but after 3 secs shuts down.
            by Shobos
            Hi, I bought 6420 XFR that tries to boot but shuts down after about 3 seconds, CPU gets warm, fan starts.
            So far I have tested all rails wich are good, BIOS flashed with CH341, 3.3,5, main rail present. multiple ram sticks tested. Sometimes it might stay on for longer like 4-5 seconds but not always, theres no picture whatsoever. Also on some rare occasions the caps lock flashes 1 time by itself.
            NOTE: I am using bench power supply not dell charger with ID pin and NO battery present, kinda doubtful this would cause this issue.
            Any help is welcome. Thanks !

            by Victor Moreira Silva
            Hello everyone,

            I'm trying to repair my old Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-54-55T5). I've already bought a new laptop, so this is more of a learning project. For the experience, with no high expectations of success.

            Well, my decice specs are the following:

            Model: Acer Nitro 5 AN517-54-55T5
            CPU: Intel Core i5-11400H
            GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
            Motherboard: GH51G LA-L181P Rev:1c

            The symptom:
            When pressing the power button, the power LED lights up for about 5 seconds and then turns off. Initially, the issue was intermittent: sometimes...

            MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro Turns on functions then turns off when I plug in USB C cable
            by Stephen
            MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro Turns on functions then turns off when I plug in USB C cable to reset the computer. I disconnect the battery fully and then reconnect it and it won't turn back on. After letting it sit for a day I plug the battery back up, and the MagSafe 3 cable and it powers on and stays ons, once I plug in a USB C cable into the port closes to the MagSafe port it turns off and the Amber light turns off and won't turn on. No water damage, nothing, I want to do a DFU restore to wipe the computer since the customer stated they did an update and ever since it just decided to not work...

            Turns on and shuts off NUC8I7HNK4 needed a BIOS
            by ZixuTech
            Seems like we are dealing with a case of a corrupted BIOS after Intel Driver software attempted to flash the bios (haven't seen that before). The customer reported seeing a BIOS message while the screen was flickering during the Intel Display Driver installation. This was while the BIOS WRITE lock jumper was in place. Resulting in Loop restarting.

            Afterwards, the customer attempted flashing BIOS via USB stick, resulting now in turning and immediately shutting down unit NUC8I7HNK4.

            Under the thermal cam, I can see that the CPU is initiating a heat signature for a second...
