looking at the picture it looks like the bottom of a transformer the other part in the pic looks like a transistor on a heat sink imo anyway

Looks like an inverter transformer to me.
Don't have a clue what the aluminum heat sync is all about thou
Definitely a mosfet attached

I'm with Tom. If the owner took the time to "identify" the problem, why aren't they interested in fixing it themselves?

I know, I asked him for better pic, waiting for reply.

why?

This should be an FET on aluminium heatsink, right? and maybe burned transformer down?

BTW, this was unsoldered in service, not by owner.

Things don't unsolder themselves while working... if that transformer is bad pretty much guaranteed you won't find a replacement.

Agreed. And the time and effort to get a 26 inch working again unless it's just for personal gain is pointless imho. You won't get much for it.

Did I leave the soldering iron on?

What about this, owner says that there is only backlight when TV is connected to power outlet(not turned on!), remote controller doesn't do anything, he was in service and been told that mainboard needs replacemet (some chip on motherboard)

I need a TV for my room, so which idea is better?

You seem to have already convinced yourself, so why are you asking? It looks too expensive and tricky to repair IMO.
I -never- take people's word for it when they say "it just needs a chip/capacitor/diode" etc..

Technicians are s***bags here in Croatia, they will charge you like 100 bucks for one RAM module replacement, and they will say that motherboard was faulty and they replaced with new one, right, but almost everyone believe that... that's why I'm here asking for help and opinions, hopefully one day I will help others.

Maybe mainboard isn't the problem, technician is.

seems about the same as the UK, it's not unique to anywhere really.

You could do that, as long as it doesn't require more than 12V. Some TVs particularly ones above about 19" use 24V inverters.

Faulty CRT AKF12/Philips CM8500: bad flyback?

by tony359

Hi all,

I have a CRT (Acorn AKF12, based on the 240V version of the Philips CM8500) which has stopped working. It's making a high pitched noise but not too high. I know this is symptom of a faulty flyback.

What happens when a flyback fails? I see that the main voltages out of the PSU are not reaching rated values, as if there is a short.
There are supposed to be 125V/26.5V/15.5V outputs but I am reading something like 48V, 10V and 8V. If I unplug the PSU from the rest of the PCB, I can measure the expected values.

Can it be a short somewhere...

Repair attempt Philips 55OLED804/12

by Sharpa

Hello,

I bought a SH Philips 55OLED804/12 TV with known defect in an attempt to repair it for personal use.

The symptoms when bought: Philips logo appears then tv turns off

Things tried so far:

1. Powering it on: Philips logo shows on the screen, sometimes with some minor artefacts then shuts down. Red status led flickers rapidly into two batches then repeats
2. Put it in recovery mode by pressing joystick down then plugging it to mains: The tv shows the logo then shows the android animation along with some minor artefacts on the screen...

Is it possible bridging tiny broken trace

by chth96

When I assembled dreamcast I mistakenly fastened long bolt and It resulted in
cutting tiny trace.
This tiny trace(Total width of white coating is 5.5mm) is between R337,R343 and IC101 and it is covered with white coating in the below screenshot.

Firstly I tried to bridging tiny broken trace with my own eyes...But it is totally impossible..So a week ago, I ordered G1200 Digital Microscope and I magnified this tiny broken trace with it.

But It seems that It is really very tiny trace So I plan to order 0.1mm coper wire from aliexpress in order to bridging...

Philips 32PFL4901/F8 BA4GF0F0102 2 Not getting standby led

by alro7779

Hello, guys!

The same 32" Philips TV I was having video issues, but now I don't have standby led at all. Someone here shared with me the schematic of the power supply, and checking the voltages, I see right after the resistor R604 I'm getting 1.6 v which is too low for enabling the Gate of the Q601 mosfet (the diagram says 4.2). On the R614 resistor I'm getting 181 V in and 117 V out, then through R603 I'm getting the same 117 V in and 59.9 V out, finally getting the latter voltage in the R604 BUT getting just 1.6 V out, which is the voltage that goes on to the Gate of the Q601...

Philips 8200 series 65PUS8204/12 stuck at Philips Logo

by G33RT

Philips 8200 series 65PUS8204/12 stuck at Philips Logo, it does not reboot it just stays on the logo.

It does power up when pressing the power button.

I already try the power button while plugin the plug with no result.
Also put the latest firmware autorun-TPM191E_R.001.004.100.000.upg on a MBR/FAT32 USB stick at USB port2 with no result either.

Could this be an PSU or eMMC issue ?
