    Emerson LC320EM82 Black Screen, No Flash

    Hey all!

    I've been searching around for a while and can't seem to find a thread anywhere which addresses this issue specifically.

    SYMPTOM:

    Basically, the Emerson LC320EM82 that I have flashes the green indicator light for about 5 seconds after the power button is pressed and then turns to solid red. During this time, the backlight never turns on or flashes at all.

    SOLUTION ATTEMPTS:

    I have checked the resistance of the transformers but everything looks okay-ish. All read between 0.395 to 0.403 kOhm and one reads 0.384 kOhm. I have read I should be getting 4 MOhm so I'm just assuming that the meter's units are off or I am reading it wrong.

    I pulled everything apart and looked at the CCFLs. I've seen bad ones before and all of these look good at a glance. I have verified with the LCD panel removed that none of them turn on when the power button is pressed. I'm assuming that having all of them go bad simultaneously is unlikely and am guessing the problem is somewhere else.

    I have also looked over all of the capacitors and do not see anything that looks bulged.

    At this point, I'm not really sure where to go or what else to check as most people start with the problem of the backlight flashing on then off. I will provide any pictures requested as well as any measurements as soon as I can.

    Thanks very much for your help!

    Pictures would be a good start, PSU, check all your voltages are coming up

    Inverter transformers may be in parallel or have some part in parallel which will mean measuring in-circuit will show different resistances.

      Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
      by Ryan.man
      Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

      My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

      This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

      Macbook Air M2 A2681 Kernel panics after screen replacement
      by reformatt
      Just had a customer bring in a M2 MBA A2681 that had had a screen replacement in April at another repairer. Since then, she has been getting intermittent kernel panics. It's an aftermarket screen, and of course it fails in diagnostics as the calibration hasn't been done. The error in the panic log is "No device added after powering on the rails".

      It seems the original repairer has swapped the board and the screen to other MAC's, and said that it isn't a screen issue. From what I understand, by doing a quick search on Google, this is in fact a screen issue. The panic relates...

      iphone XS turns off when press on screen.
      by smic717394
      Hi,

      I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on...

      [Help] Lenovo Yoga Slim 7-14ARE05 (DA0LS3MBAF0) – 25Q80DVN1G Flash Is All FF, USB-C PD Stuck at 5V
      by ekozeko333
      Hi all,
      I’m trying to recover a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7-14ARE05 with board DA0LS3MBAF0 Rev:F. I’ve run into an unusual issue where USB-C PD is stuck at 4.7–5V and the system won’t boot (keyboard lights flash briefly, then nothing).
      🔥 The Problem Started After Suspected ESD/PD Fault
      I experienced a power issue or ESD event through a USB-C charger
      After that, the NX20P5090 power switch was visibly burned and was replaced
      Now the PD controller always negotiates 5V @ 2A, even with known-good chargers

      Nikon D800 camera - flash don’t work and capacitor don’t charge
      by corrize
      Hello, I'm stuck in troubleshooting…
      The flash system works like that : when the (mechanic) flash button is pressed, the flash mecanically pop up, and a circuit buck boost elevate 7v (batt) to 200-300v (?) for charging the big capacitor. And when the photo shoot button is pressed, the capacitor is discharged in the xeon light.

      In the D800, there is a first « power board » close to the battery. 2 wires (batt 7v) goes to another little « flash board ». I measured 7v, so ok.
      When I press the flash button, it's detected by the system, flash icon appear on LDC display....
