    Panasonic TC-L32C22 Backlight issue.

    Gentleman:Got a fun one here....
    TV,when turned on will try for about 20 seconds to startup.
    In that time you can see the backlight is flickering erratically as in trying to turn on.After about 20 sec it gives up and goes into SOS1=backlight failure.

    Now,when I opened her up,I saw cap C7829 being bulged and being REVERSED polarity on the board!!! No sign of it ever being soldered.!
    I replaced it,polarity correct this time,no change....

    I did a lot of tracing the board and measuring and I'm getting some fluctuating voltages in the 12v line(11.9 v to 7.2 and back etc) Even with 7.2v it will still try to turn on backlight.

    Voltage to inverter coils,according to schematic,should be 34v,I'm getting 2.4v max.

    Anyways,before getting carried away into the power supply,I would like to ask the pro's here,how to force the power supply on(with inverter) to eliminate a mainboard problem.
    Pic#3 shows the pin out for plug between PSU and main board.
    Do I jumper between pin#1&pin#13 or #14 or both? Resistor needed?
    Once I can force PSU on I can trouble shoot a little better(20sec time frame gets annoying after a while,lol)

    Hope you can help

      Gentle bump

      Anyone knows how to force on the psu without main board hooked up?
      Pin out is in pic3 in first post.

          Fixed it

          As mentioned in post#1,C7829 was reversed polarity right out of factory.
          Looking deeper into the 12v feed,I found out that C7829 is some sort of filter cap for the 12v feed,it sits between 12v and ground.When tv was trying to turn on the backlights I could see that 12v dropping from 11.9v to 7.2 fluctuating.
          Tracing the 12v back to source,I found a resistor in series,right after the 12v gets rectified,a 1ohm tiny resistor.Measured it and it was 387 ohm!!!
          Replaced the resistor and TV came on beautifully and 12v feed stays perfectly at 12.1v now

          So,I'm thinking that the reversed cap had put a strain on that resistor for as long as the TV lasted and finally failed enough to get inverter issues....

          Anyways,it's a fix,I'm proud of myself,took a while for me to find it as that resistor was far away from the whole inverter circuit. Really starting to love this component level repair appose to simply buying replacement boards....
          My wife watched me of and on while I was working on this PSU and thinks I'm totally Einstein now lol

          On to the next one

              hi, congratulations great finding!

              I have a problem with my panasonic tv 32 lcd , same board. TV its dead no lights no signs all dead.

              newbie here.

              how can I test output voltages from this board? I read somewhere applying 5v dc to pin 10 will power it on, right?

              do you remember which resistor failed how can I locate it on my board and test it before going elsewhere?

              any advice, guidance its more than welcome, thank you!

                  Thomson 50UD6306 (TCL) Backlight Issue, starts then stops, led changed
                  by Cornito
                  Hello Team,

                  I'm back with another backlight issue that I thought was simple, but it turned out to be more complex than expected.

                  Let me provide a brief history: The TV was working well, then one day, the backlight started and shut down. I thought I had an LED issue leading to this behavior, so I replaced the LEDs with brand new ones. However, the issue remains the same.

                  Next, I replaced the electrolytic capacitors attached to the LED power supply, but the results were the same. I then replaced the driver, a OB3365RP, and did it twice due to the same result....

                  iPad Pro 12.9 5th Gen Backlight Issue
                  by cheebster
                  Hello, got an iPad Pro A2378 12.9 5th gen with no backlight. Got another test unit without screen, tested the screen, still no backlight with the test unit.
                  Figured out the backlight on the screen was bad, ordred a new backlight from mobilesentrix, *carefully replaced it* without damaging the lcd, oh well.
                  Final result, issue is still there, the screen has no back lights. So i'm back to square one, with 3 hours less and 100$ out, issue still on the screen.
                  The panel is still ok, i can see the apple in the middle of the screen when it kicks in, just no backlight.
                  Anyone...

                  TCL 65C715 backlight issue
                  by Cornito
                  Hello team,

                  I'm back with another topic.
                  It's a 65C715 TCL tv with backlight issue.

                  But the problem is a bit strange.
                  When I took this tv from the marketplace backlight didn't work but picture was ok.
                  Back at home I checked with led tester if led are alive and I can find something different in term of voltage supply => nothing

                  Putting all back together the tv worked fine for weeks. => Contact issue??

                  Few moment later the tv has started to have backlight issue back, turning off and on worked sometimes and tv was working....

                  Razer Blade 2016 6700k 1060 RZ09-01952 suspected backlight power rail issue.
                  by shellybelly
                  Back Story
                  I just recently purchased a RZ09-01652 Razer Blade 14 Touch v4(2016) as a project. I suspect the original motherboard had overheated and caused board damage to the vrm's for the CPU and GPU as now that motherboard works however will lockup on you often due to hardware clock issues.
                  So after some research and looking at options for replacement motherboards I got a replacement RZ09-01952 razer blade 14 motherboard which has the 1060 vs the 970m that was in my original motherboard. I have contacted the seller about the motherboard being bad however I doubt they will be...

                  Hello Everyone ,

                  today I'm coming to you regarding my issue which is no Backlight .

                  I have image on my screen but no light .

                  The macbook was one that I bought few month ago that I used with an external screen . Now I started to do some analysis on the MB which my limited knowledge .
                  First thing is that it suffered from liquid damage . The fuse was not ok when I openned it the first time . But I already changed it after testing that there is no short to ground on this line .

                  Please find below few informations which can help for the analysis...
