    Polaroid P40LCD12

    Hi all,
    I've inherited the above tv. It has vestel gubbins, specifically a 17pw82-3 psu board and 17mb65s-3 mainboard.

    When I push the buttons on the front of the tv there is a beep so 5 volts is there somewhere.

    Am I better off starting diagnosis with the mainboard?

    I can't see any poorly caps with my esr meter and have checked the components found in the online repair kits for the psu board.

    Has anyone had experience with these TVs or these vessel boards?

    Thanks in advance.

    Dave.

          Have you checked voltages on the psu 24v,12v,5v etc ?

            Hi thanks for the reply,
            I've checked and found 5V present, What looks to be 3V3. There is no 24V but it doesn't seem to have tried to get that far. I'm thinking mainboard at the moment. There are a few voltages generated on board so I'll see if I can probe for these.

            I was interested to see if these particular Vestel boards had any known faults.

            I get a beep from the buttons on the front when pressed and there's 5V to that PCB.

            As it stands I've found the datasheet for the Boards and will try the voltage fail test points to see if it's complaining about any one in particular and will have a go at reflowing the SoC and memory chip on the off chance that it's a bad ball on the BGA. I can only hope.

            It seems that this TV may only have been £200 new so am a bit reluctant to throw 60 pounds at a new maonboard and PSU board.

            Thanks again.

              Hi again,
              I've had a look through the schematics and what not and am a bit lost I'm afraid.

              What controls what? Do you usually get a standby voltage that tells the main voltages on the power board to come up or should 24V 12 and the rest be present all of the time?

              Can I connect the SW connector to 3v3 or 5 to get it to fire up without the mainboard there and if so do I use a link or resistor?

              Regards

              Dave

                Ive only been able to find 5 and 3V3 present on the power board.

                  Re: Polaroid P40LCD12

                  Basically you have to find the 5V STBY and check if that voltage is going to the main board (which I think it is). Then you have to figure out, if the STBY voltage is coming back from the main board to the power supply, which turns on all other power supply voltages, while you "turn on" the TV.
                  So in other words: The only voltage always present is 5V.

                    how to check if STBY voltage is coming back from main board, is next step?

                      Re: Polaroid P40LCD12

                      On the output connector I can see:
                      SW_Switch output 7.425V
                      5VSTBY 4.8V
                      3.3VSTBY 3.3V

                      and no other voltages on the board conector.
                      As far as inputs I've found the ST_BY which I assume is the power supply on connector.
                      Everything else is an output from the PSU rather than an input from what I can see.
                      (Other than BL_ON, DIM, and A/D DIM).

                      Do you think I can 470 Ohm link ST_BY to 3.3V or 5 without the mainboard connected to see if it powers the board on its own?

                      Thanks again for your reply.

                        Either next to the ribbon cable that goes from the power supply, or in the schematic diagram of the power supply... there should be a pinout indicating name and voltage.

                        here is an older thread you may want to read:

                          I have seen power supplies were there was no writings on top, but rather on the backside of the board.
                          Sure you can jumper the power supply on, to see if power supply puts out all voltages.
                          I would do some more checks on the mainboard first, before I powered up the main board like that.

                            Thanks I've cross posted onto this one as the other post was not resolved. That TV had a different fault as far as I can see as the PSU was powering up on it's own whereas mine stays in the standby mode. These are the schematics I was able to find also.

                              did you try unplugging the bl-on connector from power supply to main board, to see if back lights go on?

                                Yeah, Nothing at all. With the any of the cables removed or not the PSU Never tries to power anything other than 5V and 3.3V.

                                I'm looking to buy a PSU and a mainboard but at the moment don't know which I'll need. Without testing that the PSU comes u pon it's own I can't tell.

                                Thanks

                                  someone correct me if I'm wrong, seems if no back light after disconnect ps-on cable from g board to the a board, it's more likely a g board problem?

                                    I've tried to force the Sower supply to come up without any other board plugged in by connecting the ST_BY to 5V with a 10K.
                                    I'm going to recheck the PSU board to see if I can see anything.

                                      I've double checked all I can (electrolytics and such) but to no avail.

                                      I'm surprised if it is the PSU board that the ST_BY would not be at 5V or similar though trying to get the power supply to fire up.

                                      I'll buy a PSU board and then a logic board.

                                      Hoping that the screen itself is in good nick after this

                                        Try to force the power supply on with a 1k Ohm resistor, if that doesn't work try just a jumper from 5V. 10k seems a bit too high.

                                          by Mirenia
                                          Hi everyone,

                                          I've got a little "problem child": my Dell Latitude 7420 2-in-1, which had a faulty mainboard.
                                          I replaced it, but ever since, the touchscreen no longer works — and honestly, I’m running out of ideas…

                                          In Windows Device Manager, I just see an I2C HID Device with error code 10. Sporadically, the touchscreen is recognized correctly for just a few seconds, but I haven’t been able to determine under which circumstances this happens.

                                          The touchscreen also doesn’t work in UEFI/BIOS, although it’s enabled...

                                          MASTER TL240 and new mainboard LW36BKC01
                                          by orcic
                                          Hello,
                                          I have an old MASTER TL-240 LED TV. Since it stopped working and it had a DVB-T receiver that is being dismissed in Italy, I've decided to replace the mainboard with a DVB-T2 one.
                                          The original problem was that when switching on the TV, the power LED was transitioning from red to steady blue, without showing video or audio.
                                          After checking some voltages on the power supply board (HKL-240101-B Rev. 1.4, HKL from now on) someone suggested me to replace the mainboard.
                                          Now I have some doubts about how to connect the new mainboard to the old power supply.

                                          Vizio M43-C1 - How closely do I need to match the mainboard number?
                                          by Devonavar
                                          I have a Vizio M43-C1 stuck in a reboot loop with no backlight.

                                          I've tested all the voltage rails coming out of the power supply and they are "normal" for this model (PS_ON & DIM go high when turned on, BL_ON & 3D_ON are close to zero due to backlight power flowing through the mainboard, 5VSB is 5V, and 12V is 19V, which is apparently normal for this board).

                                          Basically, I get similar results to Garry in this post: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=80346

                                          So, I've ruled out the PSU for now.

                                          The reboot loop...

                                          Problem LG 49UB850V (Mainboard: EAX65684604 / EBT62954607)

                                          Hi everyone,
                                          I'm trying to repair my LG 49UB850V TV (WebOS 1.0, UHD model from 2014).
                                          Mainboard model: EAX65684604
                                          PCB marking: EBT62954607
                                          SPI chip: Winbond W25X20CLNIG Problem description:


                                          Originally, the TV would turn on (backlight and LED OK if I force them on), but it shut down as soon as any input was received from the IR sensor or remote. The backlight and power board were working fine.

                                          After testing and verifying the voltages (DRY ON, PWR ON, 12V/24V rails), I suspected a corrupted SPI firmware. What I tried so far:

                                          QN65QN90A - Mainboard MLCC failed - now bootloop

                                          Hi

                                          I have a QN65QN90A which was purchased around launch I guess making it about 1.5-2 years old... had been working fine until a few days ago, simply went black and would no longer turn on (at all). No standby light and no typical PSU relay click etc. Absolutely dead.

                                          Pulled it apart without doing much research first, suspecting the power supply as it had a faint buzz (I guess due to the forthcoming found short), investigated PSU for some time and concluded there was no fault that I could spot with the board removed.

                                          Came to learn after a bit more research...
