    X32 Sceptre Powers on & Off

    Hello.. Mike C. w/ Another TV To go over..

    This time it's a Sceptre X32 LCD TV, that turns on and then goes off about 5 seconds later.

    Just so everyone knows.. I have read the following threads: Sceptre X32 Stays on for about 10 mins & Sceptre X32 Power Supply Diagnosis

    The Reason I'm doing this one, is because the Boards look totally different then the one I'm working on..

    Guess what.. I went to take pictures of the boards for this post. I noticed one Big cap 450 100uf was the predominate Cap on the Board. All of the other one's looked great.. As you can see in the pics.. I've attached


    I ordered a Capacitance/ESR Meter.. should be here Monday I guess. So, anyways; I decided to listen to Budm in this post...

    So the standby 5v also drop down?
    Are there any labeling on the A and B connectors such as PS_ON, BL_ON, etc.
    Can I see close up picture of these two connectors and the pictures of the whole TV so I can see how all the boards are connected together?
    There are startup caps in the primary side that more likely should be replace. They are for PFC voltage booster, 5V standby, 12v/24v power supplies.
    The 3.5v you see on the pins are for the BL_ON and PS_ON which are generated by the main board.
    Need to see more pictures.
    By the way, bad cap can look normal but can have high ESR or bad value. it is always best to replace them as a set using low ESR TYPE capacitors such as PANASONIC FM/FR series.
    I saw the Big Cap and I knew I had one.. so I replaced it really quick.. Tried the TV again.. TV has been working for 2 hours now right next to me..

    Problem I found though, is that I can plug in the Coaxial Cable to the TV from my cable box and it won't come in, I tried every setting.. 'cable' being one of them. HMDI1 I plugged in and that's whats working.

    So.. my, 'Powers on Off' post, has become now a 'Cable not working' post..
    It's on-board, so what do I just order a new one and put it onto the videoboard? Or is there something I could be missing.. I tried resetting the whole TV..then trying coaxial again.. nothing...

    Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55-55M1 [GH51G mb] powers on, no vcc_core
    by malogro
    Hello all,

    I'm stumped on this guy, so wanted to see if anyone has any further ideas:

    Intro:

    This is an Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55-55M1 with unknown prior history (bought "as-is" on eBay). It charges the battery and powers on from both AC adapter and battery, so I think this rules out main power issues.

    Upon attempt to boot, it will "reboot" (meaning powers down and then powers on again) only once, and then stays stuck in a status of lights on / no post / no monitor. Powering on with fn+esc maxes out the fans on first boot attempt,...

    Philips 47PFL4606 Powers on, works normal then powers off after a minute
    by simwalsh
    Hi,
    I am new to this forum and have searched for some answers with problems similar to mine.
    Philips TV powers on as normal for about a minute or less then click and no power at all not even standby light. If i disconnect from mains and reconnect it will power on again but for a shorter time. Once i leave it disconnected from main for a longer time it will power on for a longer period the next time.

    It sounds like a power supply issue?

    I have the board out and want to run some tests. Not sure what i should be doing but i put a 1k resistor across SB and +5v...

    Sceptre 48" TV backlight LED`s
    by spirittoo
    Trying to fix a backlight problem with a Sceptre 48" TV.

    I found replacement strips with the same part number as the strips in the Sceptre, but the new backlight strips have 5 leds per strip and the ones in the tv has 6.

    So I decided to replace the leds instead. I found 3 bad ones. I had no problem removing the bad ones with a heat gun, they came right out. However the leds on the replacement strip would not come out with heat. I use my solder iron as well, they will not come off.

    Anyone know how I can remove those leds without damaging them?

    Vizio D50u-D1 Powers up no picture
    by csmith
    I replaced the backlights all good. Two months later set was dead, had a shorted D9100, replaced all good again.
    Now months later set powers up,backlights light ok,no picture. 12volts missing from fuse on tcon. 12VA on power
    supply is 19 volts. Changed D9100 again, same, 12 volts measures 19. Am I looking at a power supply or mainboard
    issue. Set will power up with remote but not power off....
