    Panasonic DMR-EX77 with H19 fan fault (unit shuts off)

    This is a Panasonic DVD & PVR combo that starts up and then shuts off after 30secs or so.

    I got the device into service mode and this highlighted an H19 fault ( this relates to the case fan). The was not moving at all, and on closer inspection I found some polystyrene trapped in there. This was removed but the fan did not operate still, I disconnected fan from connection P7502 and tested on 9v battery and this worked fine.

    I believe the fan getting stuck might have caused an over current issue at the fan motor transistors Q7505 an Q7511.

    Questions:
    1. Does that scenario sound likely?

    2. Would a diode test confirm whether these are good/bad, if so is it positive on the single leg and probe the other 2?

      Re: Panasonic DMR-EX77 with H19 fan fault (unit shuts off)

      What voltage do you get at FANOUT? What about at the 12.4V rail?

      For Q7511 to turn on, the base-emitter voltage must exceed approx -0.6V (i.e. more negative.) For this to happen then the base voltage relative to ground should be less than about 11.8V.

      Q7511 is controlled by Q7505, which pulls the base of Q7511 low. For this to happen Q7505 must receive a signal through R7660.

          I have 0v from the FANOUT

          I have checked resistance values for R7660, R7574, R7540, R7583, R7539, R7538, R7525, R7571 and R7538 they're all correct.

          I can confirm continuity between R7660 and Q7505 (bottom left leg)

          Will I be able to test those voltages without the other boards connected?

              I don't know if you can check without all boards connected but there's nothing stopping you soldering colour coded wires to the places I indicated.

                  Just to confirm I'll be soldering 2 leads, one onto the base and one onto the emitter of Q7511 and then negative lead of DMM will go to ground and the positive will be connected onto the other lead (take reading) , then the swap with the remaining lead?

                  Thank you for your suggestions.

                      I would also do base of Q7505. But yes like that.

                          Base on Q7505 is 0v on standby and when the unit is switched on

                          Base on Q7511 is 12.27v standby and on, but after 2 mins this drops to 11.62v and 30secs later the device powers down (standby) and the voltage goes back to 12.27v

                          Emitter on Q7511 is 12.30v standby and 12.27v when on.

                          Does this confirm an issue with Q7505 or is it further up the line?

                              Q5705 is not receiving a signal. Check C7587 is not shorted and R7660 is approx 10k. Trace back signal from R7660. Try checking voltage on other end of R7660, away from base of transistor.

                                  Hello quattro alex.
                                  Did you get the fix done?
                                  What did you do?

                                      Panasonic TX-40AX630B has developed a fault
                                      by chockimon
                                      Hello,

                                      I bought a Panasonic 40" TX-40AX630B TV from Richer Sounds 7 years ago and it has developed a strange fault. If I attempt to press any button on the back of the TV or remote control (access media features etc.) the TV locks up for a few minutes or longer and sometimes goes blank. However, if I turn the TV off and on again and quickly select a channel it will work fine all day long, as long as I don't touch the remote or controls on the back of the TV.

                                      I've tried changing batteries on the remote, changing plug sockets and doing other things such as a...

                                      Panasonic 55DX600u second fault - panel brightness pulsing on right side
                                      by fixxy88
                                      After getting the backlights up and running a second fault has emerged on this TV. I was going accept defeat and move on but thought I'd have a quick look at it in case it was something simple. The right side of the display exhibits a panel brightness (not backlight brightness) pulse every 2-3 seconds in a stable timing.

                                      I poked about on the TCON test points and found one voltage that is fluctuating in the same pattern. VGH-ODD (Pin 47 of U10) is sitting at ~-6.5v then goes up to ~28v when the brightness pulses then goes back down to ~-6.5v again in a repeating pattern.

                                      Panasonic PBX shuts off at random
                                      by Dannyx
                                      Good day folks. I wasn't too sure whether I should start this discussion just yet, because I feel I haven't dug deep enough, which I can't do until Monday at work, but I eventually thought I'd just go for it so by the time people start joining in, I'll hopefully be able to complete my measurements.

                                      TL;DR - Panasonic KX-NS500 PBX sometimes dies - PSU issue (schematic attached). 41v rail drops to 25v and 15v rail goes off entirely. Often, even a power cycle doesn't restore it - main cap (C4) needs to be "manually" discharged for it go gain.

                                      Panasonic DMR-EX98 no signal fault
                                      by ivanh
                                      Hi All,
                                      I have a Panasonic DMR-EX98V which has suddenly lost its Freeview channels. Other models suffer from this issue and its down to a couple of bad caps, however this models internals are very different!

                                      Does anybody have any insights into which caps need changing for this model?

                                      I had a look inside and there is nothing obviously bulging or discoloured. I also wonder if the power supply fix for the U80 / U81 error may actually also address this issue.

                                      Any advice much appreciated.

                                      by nobbnobb1
                                      Hi guys,

                                      Trying to salvage a Bose Companion 5 computer speaker system that powers off shortly after powering on. It's got a primary USB input (built in DAC) and an aux 3.5mm input. The USB appears to be the primarily source that tells the unit to power on (control pod LED goes green) as the unit has no power switch.

                                      When I first connect power to the unit, plug in the USB, it will play audio nicely for a minute before it drops out and the unit appears to go into standby (control pod LED goes red). It stays in standby and I cannot seem to power it back on without physically...
