    Apex ld3288m - No power, nothing

    Before I start digging around in this thing, has anyone come across these TVs showing absolutely no signs of life? Worked fine, sat for a few months, hit the power button and nothing. It's very simple internally, just a power supply and the "main unit" as they call it. I see no visible fuses, no apparently faulty components.

    One odd thing is that when I plug it in, some lamps in the room and on the same circuit flicker slightly.

    May be a bad primary cap that's not bulging or leaking.

      That's my guess, even though everything looks good. I have to buy some caps for something else, it's a cheap gamble to just replace the small number of caps on this power supply just to make sure.

        A good start is to check power supply output voltages: if they are bad, further troubleshooting can be done, but otherwise it may be a main board (=main unit) fault.

          Checking the power supply output:

          1st 5v - 5.2v
          2nd 5v - 2.9v
          12v - 12.2v
          24v - 22.2v

          One of the 5v is nearly half down, and the 24v is quite low. I'm going to pull the board back out, and see if I can follow the traces back to see what differentiates the two 5v outputs.

              Re: Apex ld3288m - No power, nothing

              try taking the readings with the power supply disconnected from main board, is the 5v still reading 2.9v?

                You may have bad capacitors on the 5V and 24V lines, or excessive load on those.

                  Re: Apex ld3288m - No power, nothing

                  Without the main board, I believe I was getting *only* the 5vsb. The power button routes through the main board and then triggers the power supply. I did trace the 5v (that reads 2.9v) back to a cap that seems suspect using the old unreliable test method (continuity one way to see resistance go up, then swap leads and watch resistance go down then back up again, it's OL one direction and works the other). I know, not a good test but definitely doesn't look right and there are a few caps that act like that. I cataloged all the caps last night and will replace them all, just in case.

                    Re: Apex ld3288m - No power, nothing

                    I recapped two TVs' power supplies today - another was an LG and it's back up and running. This one, however, no change. 5vsb and 12v still look good, 5v and 24v are still low. I don't have the original remote, but programmed the only code that my DVR's remote says works for Apex Digital LCD sets (just in case the power button is faulty) and still no-go.

                    Any input as to further testing? The idea of excessive load bringing down those rails seems like it may be on the right track, as I mentioned earlier sometimes when I plug it in it causes a quick flicker of the lamps on that same circuit.

                      The main board, CV318H-X, seems to be widely-used on Westinghouse and ProScan sets. Just trying to get as much potentially useful info as possible.

                        I may just grab a replacement main board, they're very cheap. Does anyone know if there's anything that differentiates those for a Westinghouse from one for an Apex? Same part number for the board, but want to make sure there isn't something strange that's done per-manufacturer.

                          Re: Apex ld3288m - No power, nothing

                          So after some time away from it, I decided to take another quick peak at this thing. Something that strikes me as odd:

                          Without the main board connected, I get 1.4v on the 5v, 12v and 24v. 5vsb is fine, which I would assume is proper. If I connect the main board, I get the previously-mentioned out-of-spec voltages. But I shouldn't at this point, right? I haven't hit the power button, or otherwise turned it on however the main board *seems* to be invoking a power-up of the power supply. Or could this be simply due to the super-simple design of the TV (two boards main and power, power also has inverter hardware) and its components?

                          The power supply has only 6 connectors - input mains from outlet, 2x output to the backlighting, and the three connectors pictured that go to the main board. My question, so I can see if the power supply is simply not outputting proper voltage or if the main board is dragging it down, is can I force the power supply to power on without the main board connected? That way I can read power output without any load.

                            You can force on the power supply board by itself by using 1K resistor between STB (PS_ON) pin and the 5VSTBY, the connector has to be removed so it will be pulling down the STB pin.
                            Can we see the picture of the whole board? We need to find out if it has PFC Voltage booster circuit or not.

                              I put a 1k resistor between the first two pins on the far left in the picture above (labeled STB and 5VSB) and there was no difference - 5V, 12V and 24V all stayed at 1.47v. But they do go up if I connect the main board (at 5v - 2.9v, 12v - 12.2v, 24v - 22.2v). Here is the full power supply.

                                That STB may be active LO, if that is the case, check the DC voltage at STB pin when TV is OFF and when TV is turn on. Also check the DC voltage on the two legs of that large 450VDC filter cap when TV is OFF and when it is ON.
                                The 5V low but the 12v is OK, then I would look further in the 5V rectification and filter section, or it may be loading down by the main board.

                                  That's the oddity, it won't turn on. The 5VSTB always has 5v, regardless of connectivity to the main board. However, when I connect the main board I get voltages (though some are out of tolerance). Hitting the power button does nothing. I'll check the voltages and report back.

                                    Large cap never reads more than a few hundred mv, simply a few hundred mv negative on the negative lead. Like I said, it doesn't respond to the power button, so I have no idea what it would do in an ON state. At this point, I'm trying to determine if it's the power supply not putting out enough voltage (see the 12 and 24 volt readings above) or the main board dragging them down. I think those would be my only two scenarios, due to the simplistic nature of this TV.

                                      The 5VSTBY is the always on power supply, it will be present when the the TV get the 120VAC to it, it is used for running the micro controller on the main board. When the power switch or Remote power on is activated, the main board will send the PS_ON to turn on the rest of the power supply section.

                                        "Large cap never reads more than a few hundred mv" That large cap should have about 165~170VDC on it when the TV is plugged in, it cannot be in mV otherwise the 5VSTBY will not be working at all. Recheck your measurement, you have to measure it right at the two legs of the cap.

                                          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.

                                          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. πŸ˜…

                                          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...
