    Coby TFDVD2395 - strange main board problem

    I got this Coby 23" TV, which was dumped, and to my surprise when I brought it home and plugged in, it worked just fine. It has DVD player built in and my son watched it for couple hours, picture and everything was good. Which made me wondering why somebody would dump such nice TV... I unplugged it for night, but next day when I plugged it in again - it's dead. No standby light, leds are off, but DVD inside is spinning and ejects. But it doesn't really plays anything. I jumped 5V with resistor to ON to force blacklight on and this giving me picture like in attachment with colored lines, it shows it for second, then goes to all white screen (like with t-con disconnected), then all blue screen, then back to colored lines and it gust keep going this way.
    Power board have 12V and 5V with main disconnected, but when main is connected - 15V and ~4.5V, no 3V.
    When I got this TV, it was outside at 40 degrees so I tried to recreate situation by putting all thing in fridge (didn't work), and putting just main in freezer (didn't work too).
    I wonder what happened and why it works one day and doesn't work next day. Apparently this is reason why it was dumped, so it happened before too, I think.

      No yet, suspecting EEPROM because I see some of them are sold on ebay (for this series of Coby TVs, but not for one I got). For now I'm watching for EEPROM or reasonable priced main for this model on ebay. So far I see them only for $45+ which I think is overkill for 23" TV

        I wonder if there is a way to update the firmware through the USB port (I have done that for some Sony before). I have similar problem with the 32" Coby version. The user guide refers to Coby's web site for firmware upgrades. But the site does not exist any more because they went out of business.

        It would be pain if we had to change the whole eeprom..

            Putting TV parts in fridge or freezer is likely to coat them with condensation. This will not allow an accurate test of the TV's function at reduced temperature. At room temperature, try spraying suspect components or circuit board with a little freeze spray. It's sold at electronics stores, Fry's, etc.

              Sceptre U550CV-UMR 4K LED, Bad Caps on Main Power Board?
              by Dani_2024
              Hi and thanks in advance for any input you might provide!
              I have a Sceptre U550CV-UMRD8POTV83BB 4K LED (this is a dumb tv) that I bought new in August 2021, so It's just completed 3 years.
              Main power board model: TP.MS3683.PC821 T-Con board: N4TP546UHDPU2L_BO

              Last Sunday I was watching a dvd and fell asleep for about half hour, when I awoke the tv screen was black and couldn't get the dvd menu to show, so I changed the input to antenna and had sound but no picture, turned it off. I then got online and found this great site! ....read many troubleshooting tips and this...

              Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
              by jb_Bak
              Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

              Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
              Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
              CN6401
              Pin 01 NC
              Pin 02 NC
              Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
              Pin 04 "N/C"
              Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
              Pin 06 "GND": N/C
              Pin 07 "AC_OFF"...

              (SOLVED) - ONN 100012588 No Power, Then Rebooting After Main Board Change

              Issue: No Power, Then Rebooting After Main Board Change

              Short answer: replace main board and power board
              Technical answer: replace main board and Q306 & Q307 on power board.

              Long answer:

              TV wouldn't turn on. Power switch was fine which means the main board isn't processing the power on signal. Replaced main board. TV turns on now but randomly reboots. Bad main board? EEPROM? Tried to pull main board and got a shock touching the corner of the board. That's weird. C334 (450V 10uf) capacitor is still holding a high charge....

              by m1ch43lzm
              Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
              Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

              Is it possible to upgrade from a Vestel 17MB97 main board to a 17MB110 Main board?
              by cheeky2
              I suppose the real question is whether the existing pinouts from ether a 17IPS71 psu are cross compatible with a 17IPS12 psu? If they are then the exchange of the main boards should have no issues providing the screen is compatible with both main boards. Obviously you can change the screen configurations easily enough (providing you have the correct files) for the main board. Why may you ask would I do this? Well a lot of the smart features are no longer working on a Hitachi 48HBT62U main board I wish to give it a new lease of life!
              Obviously the same LVDS connector for the screen connection...
