    SONY Bravia OLED XR-77A80J will not power on

    SONY XR-77A80J shuts off as soon as it is powered on. It goes into standby ok when plugged in but when power button is pressed, relay clicks and tv powers off. Power supply board makes a sound that sounds like momentary coil whine when it clicks off. The main board appears to turn on and has working optical.

    I pulled the power supply board for visual inspection & there wasn't anything obvious. I am not sure how to go about testing this OLED as it is a bit different than the last one (LG) I tried to repair. The only voltage listed on the PSU is 12v for T-CON. The 12v is not present at either connector. There are 4 opto's on the PSU so I am wondering if maybe there is an issue with secondary side possibly not getting power.

    This TV is REALLY big! 😳

    disconnect the 2 socket in Red color and power on... check if it remain ON and Optic lit on... if yes... put them back and disconnect the only LVDS in yellow color... power on and check if it go On and the optic lit too.

    IF no result . you need to take out the PSU alone on the table and do the following testing Only on Socket 6401
    1- plug it in wall and test Pin 6 STBY. there should be 3.3-5V. if this the case then
    2- jumper it to PiN 5 Power_ON the Relay will click once
    3- keep the Jumper in pint 2 and jumper PIN 6 to Pin 1 TCON12V_ON you will have on socket 601 12V
    4-Always keep the Jumper in point 2 in place and make another jumper from Pin 6 to Pin 3 EVDD_On you will have on socket 501 19-24 V for EVDD

    if all V fine then yours PSU fine.

      if yours work on the post above after point 4 all fine.. put back yours PSU in place and keep the jumpers all in place... don't connect the socket 6401 which it goes to main boards...
      disconnect the 2 LVDS ( in yellow from T-CON side ) the other 3 sockets on t-con should be connected ... power on the set yours screen should come ON and you can see if there issue on it... this is Standalone test for T-CON and panel..
      if there are color pattern and the screen clean.... mean yours TV issue at MB.

        ok, I think I have a faulty PSU. I did as you said and I do not have any standby voltage so I didn't go any further. Also, there is no voltage present on the 2 large caps on the secondary side. Before I disconnected everything I powered up the board and main caps went to 380v but then board shut down. After removal and powering up, main caps only went to 160v. What really sucks is both Main Board & PSU for this TV are hard to come by right now.

          As per situation in post1 you must have STB, at standby state at least.. the test suggested is wrong if made to test PSB, since white connector on tcon feeds 12v, by detaching only 2 connectors if the tcon is SC then PSB shuts off..

          post a 2000x2000 pic very bright no flash of tcon, need to check power components..

            I don't think you tested enough. I'm pretty sure on stby the main caps will be lower at 160 and when PSON triggers they'd go up to 380. I don't think you've done enough testing.

            Those 2 caps on. Secondary side will only show voltage once tcon 12v happens. So they are going to appear dead.

            I had this same TV a few months ago, tested a million times. With everything disconnected check the stby pin again for voltage. What is it?

            But this kit is at shop jimmy for $300 for all the parts, and you can also make offer on there as well, which worked for me.

              Yes, what you say about the voltage difference makes sense. The problem is finding replacement boards. The other issue is reprogramming the set after board replacement unless you can find a matching set. Far more than I'm getting paid to do, so it is going onto someone else to mess with. Not worth my time & effort.

                  Sony Bravia KDL-40V2500 that will not power on
                  by PopsCaps
                  I have a Sony Bravia KDL-40V2500 that will not power on. The indicator flashes red 3 times.
                  I do not hear any sound and I cannot see any backlight.
                  I have tried disconnecting every cable on each board one at a time to see if anything changes.
                  The only change is when I disconnect AC-DET cable on the Power Supply board or on the other end if I unplug the CN7009 connection on the B-Board and try to power on the TV the indicator will stay on solid green until I power off.
                  My friend ordered another used power supply board but it is also doing the red indicator flash 3 times...

                  Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                  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.

                  Assuming...

                  Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
                  by PantherDave
                  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. 😅

                  I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

                  Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue
                  by GLISIT
                  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...

                  Sony Bravia XBR-65x900f: No Power, No Standby-light - however 3.3v STBY is present
                  by SkishyIshy
                  Hey All,

                  I have a Sony 65x900f that I purchased cheap because of a no-power issue.
                  I assumed that because there is no standby light visible, it would be an easy fix - however upon opening up of the unit I can confirm that the 3v3 standby voltage is making it's way from the power supply to the main board. I'm a little confused as to why there is no standby light.

                  I am firstly wondering if anyone has this model of TV, or has worked on one and can give me some insight. I have tried to find a service manual for this model, to no avail - and would really appreciate...
