    Another Sony, Another Lightning Strike... KDL-32L4000

    What can I say.. it's Florida...

    Have a Sony KDL-32L4000... Works OK.. But no signal thru the HDMI... Both HDMI ports are totally dead..

    Component and Composite work fine however..

    Visually, the A-Board looks in good shape.. The only minor discrepancy is that two of the caps have their burst lines evident (but not obviously blown) whereas similar caps do not show the lines..

    Other than that, everything looks copacetic..

    I am inclined to replace those caps, just on GPs, but don't want to waste the time on a red herring..

    Anyone??

          Thanx for the reply.. I can replace the board for $20.. That seems to be the path of least resistance.

          Thanx again...

              I have 2 caps with the x showing like that too, do you know if those are plug in type, anyone know if I can just pull them out and pop the new ones in?, Thanks.

                  Those two caps next to the two round inductors (220) are part of the switching power supply so they need to be LOW ESR type, they are SMD, not plug-in.

                      I think smd means surface mounted, they appear to be tacked in on each side with a little solder, is that correct?, sorry for being so thick, Thanks for reply Budm.

                              advices for repairing Sony Bravia 32EX600 after lightning strike
                              by pbig
                              hi everyone,
                              my parents in law have seen their Bravia Sony LED 32EX600 TV set stop after a lightning strike. After being plugged to mains, it shows nothing no power LED on bottom left shines.
                              On the power PCB (GE3b, attached pic), I chacked the fuses and the only roasted one is R6536 : 0.47 ohms, 1/2W. After replacing it, I made some voltage measurement with ref to the chassis :
                              - the 450V/150uF capacitor voltage when plugged is normal at 394V
                              - from connector CN6150 (15 poles)
                              STBY normal 3.3V -> I shunted it to 3 (POWER ON) and 11 (BL ON) and unplugged...

                              HP EliteBook 840 G6 – no power after lightning strike
                              by Bardou Kari
                              Hi,
                              I’m trying to fix an HP EliteBook 840 G6 that stopped working after a lightning storm.

                              – Charger is OK and 19V is present at the motherboard.
                              – No charging LED, no fan, no reaction.
                              – I don’t see any 3.3V or 5V near the coils.
                              – Battery is unplugged.
                              – I’m new to board repair but can use a multimeter.

                              I added a clear photo of the board.
                              Any idea where to start or what to check next?
                              Thanks a lot for your help!...

                              Panasonic TH-50PX80 killed by lightning strike, help me save her!

                              Yes it's a 17 year old Panasonic plasma!

                              I was watching TV when there was a huge lighting strike nearby my house that shook the house. When that happened, the picture on the TV froze and the TV wouldn't turn off except by pulling the power cable. Now if you plug in the TV, it seems to turn on (it makes the turn on "clikcs" it always does, the red power light comes on but there is no picture, although I can see the back light around the edges. And the TV doesn't respond to the power button on the remote to turn off, and doesn't respond to the manual power button on the front...

                              Samsung UN60EH6000 wont come on after lightning strike.
                              by karthur
                              We had a lightning strike a few days ago really close to my house. My Samsung UN60EH6000 was on when it hit. Afterwards, the TV would not come back on.

                              I had repaired this TV a few years back by replacing the T-Con board. (The post I had on this is repair is here.)

                              When I turn on the TV, I don't get any start-up melody. The screen just dimly flickers around the edges.

                              Here is what I have checked.
                              On the power supply board, 14pin connector:
                              1 :12.7 Vdc
                              3 :12.7
                              5 :12.7
                              7 :12.7
                              9 :0
                              11 :5.
                              13 :5....

                              Lightning Strike: 55" TV dead: is display panel OK?
                              by MrCreosote
                              THE LIGHTNING:
                              This was a very close strike, blew a 15 amp breaker for all ceiling lights in home AND could smell ozone for a few minutes after strike.

                              Very close and probably a very strong EMP.

                              THE TV:
                              No standby LED. Some voltage from PSB (not totally dead).

                              But found a kit of ALL 4 circuit boards for $55.

                              At first thought, this will fix my TV.

                              But then lightning has the ability to totally fry semiconductors. Which would include any or all of the PCBs. However, the display is one big semiconductor and given...
