    Polaroid TLA-01911C

    Looking for some advice on a Polaroid TLA-01911C, so here's what I've tried so far:

    1. Original power supply had bad caps, when plugged into ac led was solid orange and would not turn on.
    2. Ordered replacement power supply.
    3. Connected new power supply and power led goes from solid orange to solid blue when trying to power on. It will not power off via the on/off switch.
    4. Panel was still black no apparent video, so I thought the backlight was bad. Also connected an antenna to check if there was sound but no video, there's no sound nor video.
    5. Disassembled the panel, which is a Proview PV190WTVM C94H, and found that the CCFLs were fairly dark at ends and they do not power up.
    6. Tried the flashlight trick to see if the panel is coming on, no luck there.

    I have a multimeter but have very limited experience using one. So, my question is would one go to the trouble of trying a new mainboard? Or is this just a lost cause?

    Thanks,
    Brad

    Good clear pictures of the boards would help

    the CCFLs were fairly dark at ends and they do not power up.

    Do you mean the set will not power them up or you have tried with another
    inverter/board/tube tester.

      Here are the pics, tried to make them as clear as possible. The set will not power the CCFLs, I don't have an inverter/board/tube tester to try. Probably will need to acquire one.

        There appears to be more then one problem - was the power supply board
        said to be tested and working? ( Not that that seems to mean much)
        Do the lamps not even flash at all?
        Can you locate the BLon pin on the connector to the main board.
        With it connected you need to test the voltage on it forst when the set is off
        then again as you turn it on.
        May need to put a thin wire into the connector and test to that unless you can
        safely test.

          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...

          Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
          by sam_sam_sam
          I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

          One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

          Insignia NS-LCD019-09 issue: Power light turns blue for 3 seconds, the flashes red before going solid read again
          by cajoeg
          Hello, I'm new to the group and to trying to repair a LCD TV. During the past few years, I've been collecting/repairing/restoring vintage personal computers (Commodore, Apple II, Atari, TRS-80, Texas Instruments, and Timex Sinclair). This has been my retirement hobby. Now I've gotten interested in trying to repair a LCD TV that I have and used regularly when working on vintage computers.

          The LCD I'm working on is a Insignia NS-LCD019. I've downloaded the service manual that I could find, but it must be a different revision since not too many items in the service manual match the TV...
