    Memorex MLT3221 Red power LED pulsing

    I just purchased this TV. when power is applied I get a pulsing flash from the red power led. but the TV won't turn on. the person I purchased it from just replaced all of the caps. not sure where to go from here. what to test?

    Check D10 diode, this is the exact same power supply I have for a Polaroid 32".

    The first PS that was in the tv wouldn't turn on so I got a replacement ps that also end up failing after doing some research I found the first PS had a bad D10 diode.

    Also I replaced the Q16/Q17 N-channel transistors as they are notorious for going bad if the 10uf 450v caps have failed.

      I checked D10 in circuit and it checks out ok. low ohms one way and high the other way. how would I check Q16 /Q17. would I check them in circuit.

        I just noticed this on the bottom of the power board. not sure of this is normal or if someone made a modification.

          I was tested on the primary side and came across D7 the part number is HER207 it is testing low ohms both directions.

            so I have ordered a replacment diode. is there anything else I should test before installing new diode and connecting power to the tv?

              replaced D7 and still get the same results. the front led blinks red and tv won't turn on. I at the same time ordered a full working power supply and tested the tv with that and TV works. I would like to figure out what is bad on this board. no 5 volt standby.

                is it possible to take this power supply and run it with out the other boards. I would like to trouble shoot the 5volts missing.

                  If the +5VSTBY is not working, you can run the power supply board by itself since +5VSTBY is an always on power supply so you can troubleshoot that +5VSTBY without having the board connected to anything else. Or you are talking about +5V (swithced).

                      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.

                      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...
