    Magnavox 42mf439b/f7 not powering on.

    My tv suddenly wont turn on, the standby light is on and there's a slight click when you plug it in other than that nothing. The board is BA94H0F0103 2 A. Can't find much info about it, if anybody can help I'd really appreciate it.

    Pictures might help? Tested ALL the fuses.

    See here https://tvrepairtips.org/philips-a94...v-power-supply

    If that is guaranteed working at $20 sounds a bargain!

    Not that we know for sure if yours is faulty

      I tested the fuse and none of the caps look bad here's a picture of the board

        Suscon Caps may be suspect even though they dont look bulged.
        Any bulged caps on the Main/logic Board - picture? any fuses?

        If the power light is on that suggests you have 5 volts. Can you test the voltages being output from the power supply board. I cant see any indication
        on the board of what they should be - perhaps you can see? If not set your meter on 200vDC and test each pin and list the results. Black Probe fixed to a
        ground screw probe each pin with red probe. If less than 20vdc on all then
        reduce the setting to 20vdc to get a more accurate result.

        As you are a new poster I would ask you to take care there are voltages that can kill.
        So dont touch anything else on the board until asked to.

          That board has a gob of zener diodes, since you have standby your primary is probably ok. Using a multimeter in diode mode I would check every one of those zener diodes if you get a solid beep on any one lift a leg off board and see if the diode tests bad or you have a short on board. I circled all the ones I could see with the primary suspect in my mind the one circled in yellow and red in the top right corner. These have a bad habit of failing on these cheap power supplies. And since you are new here testing is done with the tv UNPLUGGED.

            Re: Magnavox 42mf439b/f7 not powering on.

            I tested the power output and got red 4.3; black -4.3; white -4.3.

            I have a pretty cheap multimeter without a buzzer I'm not exactly sure how to test a zener, continuity? sorry I'm new to some of this.

              Not sure what you have tested there. You should have been testing the
              voltage going to the logic/main board - perhaps the gray flat cable bottom right in your picture. We need more pictures showing what lead goes where.

              If you have not done any electronic repairs on computers/ monitors then a tv
              may be a step too ambitious, not to mention dangerous.

              Suggest you read this - relates mainly to monitors but there is a lot of test information in there including a diode. You can also find how to test things by googling " How do i test a ******** with a multimeter."

                Thanks a lot for the link, here's a few more pictures. I'm semi familiar with this stuff just not to this level, I'm a diesel mechanic and I've not messed around much with any non-auto electronics really.

                  Ha! well I dont know a lot about Tvs - the board you have shown us so far does have a power supply on it but I think the proper power supply is the one part showing on the top left of the middle picture. Can you post full a picture of that board

                    Please show the whole back side of the TV so we can see how all the boards are connected together. This TV has master power supply (where the power cord is connected to) and the sub-power supply.
                    See if these are the boards you have in your TV.

                          We really need good clear pictures of YOUR board.

                          Looking at other boards can sometimes help but it is akin to the chap who went to the doctors as he has a pain, and the doctor says "we will need to take some xrays to help diagnose the problem." The patient replies - "no need,
                          my brother had a similar pain and I have brought in the xrays he had done.

                            This is going to tough since none of the connectors has any labels on them to show the pin function. The standby power supply is OK, but cannot tell if the PS_ON signal is present or not.

                                        Yes they help a bit - on th epicture in post 2 topleft corner there are two links
                                        labelled power on Hi and Power on H2 . With your meter on 20vdc put black on a ground screw and test for a voltage on the links. Do not touch the heatsink.
                                        Did you work out how to test all those diodes? does your meter have a diode test - will have a diode symbol on the selector if it does.

                                          LG 55UH6150- trouble powering up, then half lit screen (pictures!)
                                          by valvashon
                                          The 55" LG has been in the basement for a few months without being used. Turned it on yesterday, set came on as it should and showed a complete screen for about 5 seconds (was on a broadcast channel but no antenna was connected), then the screen went mostly dark with about 1/3 of the screen on the right lighting up with brighter lines in that lit part (sorry, no pictures of that). Power LED was cycling too, preventing the TV from fully powering up.
                                          Pulled the back off, all boards looked OK. Pulled the LED connector, turned the set on to see if it would power up but I don't belive it...

                                          Hi,

                                          I have an Asus 2021 ROG Strix G17 G713 that is not powering on and not charging. Board number is G533-6050A3250201.
                                          When plugged in, I found that the 3.3v/5v regulator was getting extremely hot, so I removed, next I found a short on the 3.3V rail. Removed the two 3.3v mosfets and found one of them shorted, but still the short on the rail did not clear. Then I injected voltage at that rail, and found out that U60400 the 2.5v rail was also getting hot. Removing it changed the short from 0 ohms to about 5-6 ohms, then I remove a bunch of other suspect components but that did...

                                          Hello Everyone!

                                          I have an Acer Aspire A315-42 laptop. I generally leave it on for long time by closing down its lid (so it enters the sleep mode). Recently, it rained quite heavily in out area. And the humidity and moisture seem to be high. So one late evening, after I opened the lid and turned on the laptop, it did power on as the blue light turned on but after it booted to the desktop screen, just 5-10 seconds after both the screen and blue light went out and laptop shut down (the blue power light turned orange). And after 2-4 seconds that orange light went off and the laptop died.

                                          ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING — Board not powering on properly
                                          by ShadowAi12
                                          Hi,
                                          I recently bought an ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING motherboard that was listed as "dead, not powering on." However, it does show some signs of life. I've performed several basic measurements and would like to share the results.
                                          • The board enters a "ready to power on" state after plugging in the PSU.
                                          • Pressing the power button increases power draw.
                                          • Sometimes, touching the RSMRST_L pad with a multimeter probe causes the board to shut off and return to standby.
                                          Measurements:
                                          (taken after pressing the power button, while the board is attempting to start)
