    Panasonic TC-L37X1 Dead

    I am trying to repair a 37" Panasonic TC-L37X1 that is totally dead. No Led. Relays not picking up. I do read 5 Volts on the main Board but that is it. I ordered a new power supply board and replaced it but still the same thing so I then ordered a Main Board thinking this for sure would fix the problem. Still totally dead. I am really puzzled about this one. I unplugged the connectors going to the HV and t-con boards thinking this might be keeping the thing in shut down but that did not help. I looked at some previous threads and went by the flow chart which did not really give alot of info. It just basically said replace power supply board then replace main board... Any suggestions????
    Is their some type of test mode I can get into?

    maybe the replacement A board is also faulty? looking at the cct, stdby 3.3v is developed by the A board and the front LED is turned on by the ic4003.

    Is there 3.3v at A10 pin 2 in standby?

      I think IC5480 produces the 3.3v from the 5v stb

        Not getting 3.3 v there. I am getting 5 volts on pin 3 of A02 that goes to zero when I press the On/off switch. I am also getting 5.5 volts @ A03 pin 23.
        I need to know what is keeping it in shutdown mode ??

          If there's no 3.3v at that point, unless that V-board is shorted on the 3.3v line then it's dead . I'd be inclined to send the A board back and try another

            Just went back and checked and there is 3.3volts on pin 2 of A10. Power Supply is not turning on and still no LED. I am assuming PS has to be on to read the 12v and 17v coming out of the P board and going into A board at connector AO3. ???? Still puzzled. I wonder if the Backlight Driver Board has a short and is keeping me shut down???

              I still think A board is at fault. If it had stdby led and attempted to turn on you'd at least get an error blink.

              See if you can find ic7005 and check if 1.8v stb is coming out of that or look at the manual. I suspect ic4003 needs 3.3v and 1.8v to be ready, it gnds the front led to turn it on so the internal microprocessor ic4003 is not doing it's job and most likely not turned on ready for program execution.

              The A board is the correct one for 37"?, not a 32' version? Unsure if that would cause this problem or not but in cct there were labels in the schematic showing differences between 32 and 37 A board .

                  Not getting the 1.8volts coming out of the chip. I have contacted seller and am going to return the board for an exchange. That's one of the drawbacks of buying boards from eBay but atleast this seller has a DOA policy and hope fully will let me exchange board for another working one. I put the Old A board back in and there is no 3.3 volts stby at all on it plus when you press the on button it does not go to zero but stays at five volts so it does look like both the original and the replacement A boards are bad.

                    One thing I want to make sure I'm doing right before I send back is this. Do I just hold the power on button down on the side of the set and watch for the led to start blinking. I just want to make sure I'm accessing test mode properly.

                      I don't know anything about holding power buttons down for test mode. All I know is there's a self test and service mode. For both the TV needs to turn on and that's not happening. I don't deal with the LCDs normally but I have a baby 2010 Panasonic LCD and holding the power button does nothing as far as inducing a special mode or error blinks

                          I found another A board on ebay for a decent price and ordered it. That is what the problem was. It's got a great picture... Just wish the boards we get off ebay were always 100% reliable. At least I got my money back for the bad board and everything is now working.

                              Help Needed: Samsung UE55MU8000 Dead - Possible Main Board Issue
                              by Asraf Atb
                              Hi everyone,

                              Im looking for some advice regarding my Samsung UE55MU8000 TV with main board model BN94-11606C. The TV suddenly stopped turning on and now shows no signs of life at all not even the standby light at the bottom.

                              Initially, I suspected an issue with the PSU, so I took it to a repair center. They tested it and confirmed that the PSU works perfectly, even on other TVs. Based on that, I started investigating the main board.

                              I disconnected the main board from the PSU, and the backlight turned on, which seems to confirm the main board is the issue....

                              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"...

                              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....

                              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...
