    LG 50PK550 plasma 2 seconds to black

    I have a 50" LG plasma that cycles on/off twice then goes dead. When plugged up, you hear a relay click, then 1 second later, a picture displays for about 1/2 second, the relay clicks and the screen goes off. The tv then goes through the same cycle a second time, then it just goes dead. If I unplug it for a few minutes and plug it in again, it will go through the same cycle.
    The label says Vs should be 203 volts, and it is, for the 1/2 second the screen is on. When the screen goes black Vs starts decaying then goes back to 203 volts during the second screen-on cycle. After the second on/off cycle, Vs voltage decays rapidly to zero.
    Any help would be appreciated!

      Using your suggestion, I tested the large 22 ohm resistors and one was shorted (arrow). I replaced it (cost $1.25) and so far it is running like a champ!

          Where are you finding these resistors? locally or online?

            Lenovo Legion 5 high fan spin turns off after 34 seconds
            by twonk9098
            Hi all,

            I have a Lenovo Legion 5 with a Ryzen 7 series CPU and RTX 3070 GPU. My issue is that it turns on and all seems fine except after a few seconds the fans spin up high and the laptop turns off after 34 seconds.
            I can get into bios and can even boot and login to Windows however after 34 seconds no matter if Im at the bios screen or booted into Windows it will just turn off.

            I have managed to run HWmonitor and the temperatures of the CPU and GPU are fine, I can also touch the heatsync which is warm but not hot.

            I have tried a few new bios but exactly...

            Hisense stuck in Colors cycle like test pattern.
            by nono34
            Hello,

            I accidentally changed the project ID in the service menu of my Vidaa Hisense 100U7KQ TV. When I turn on the TV, the screen displays an RGB color cycle (test mode???). I contacted Hisense, and they sent me a usb_MTK_9618.EU.bin file, but it doesn't work. I can see that the USB drive is being read, and it flashes for about 10 minutes (the screen remains in the color cycle during the firmware reading), then the TV turns off and restarts, but still in the color cycle mode.

            I want to mention that the 4GB USB is formatted in FAT32 MBR. I've also renamed the file to...

            Lenovo 15iml05 Power led lights for 12 seconds then off 12 seconds
            by liquidzorch
            Hello. I bought a faulty Lenovo ideapad 3, but it turns out the 3Valw buck converter burnt a hole through the board. I was able to clean it up, and remove all the shorts. I now can power the 3.3v rails from a bench power suppy while connecting the laptop to its psu, and I get the additional 5valw, 1.8v, and 1.05v, form what I can tell in the schematics, those are the only 4 voltages I should see before turning on, and they are present. When I hit the power button, the power indicator on the left side turns on (not the one on the power button), stays on for about 12 seconds, then turns off for...

            LG 50PK550 turns on then off (Not the resistors)
            by canadaboy25
            Hey guys,

            I was given an LG 50PK550 plasma that tries to turn on then turns off right away. The guy before me bought a new power supply board which did not fix it so he included the spare board with the TV.

            When I power up the TV, the relays click, then there is a quick flash of grey on the screen and at the same time I can hear the panel prime but then the panel goes out. The TV stays powered up for a short time, during which I can hear a faint ticking from one of the transformers on the power supply board. After a few more seconds the relays click and the TV shuts...

            Samsung ue55nu7021k Boot cycle
            by Yoda79
            Hi, wondering if anyone can help with a tv which seems to turn on but turn off soon after and continue to do this cycle over and over again.

            It turns on, no sound and then turns off and starts the whole cycle again. I've opened up the back and can see the backlights turning on. However when I disconnect the two straps connecting the left hard board (as you look on the back of the TV), the boot cycle stops and it does turn on and I can hear the boot up sound, however no video?

            Any thoughts, any help would be greatly appreciated.​...
