    Put small like sized cap from part graveyard in place of C3214 and is working perfect again.
    You saved me hours of troubleshooting. Replaced the cap and the TV fired right up. Thank you very much!

    Sorry for the late reply, just turned notifications on so I should be more punctual.

    It's hard to say definitively if the resistance on the removed c3214 matters, but if parallel caps are no longer shorted it looks like progress to me. If you want to check that the short is really gone, the easiest way would be to clean the board to get any residual flux removed, then measure the resistance between the 2 unoccupied pads from c3214.

    Rather than trying to source a new cap, I really just found a visually similar looking cap with approximately the same footprint from a junk board and it worked.

    However, this was a free tv for me so there was no risk involved. I'm not sure what your situation is but I wouldn't recommend this method if this is for a customer or something.

    If you are new to (de)soldering I would highly recommend getting some flux and braid, and clean well with isopropyl alcohol before plugging it back in.

    +1 on C3214. I have a model LF551EM5 that wouldn't power up, power supply board chirped when plugged in. Sure enough C3214 was shorted. Different main board than OP but similar layout. Swapped with a cap from a junk samsung phone main board and it's back in action.

    As you can see it is also connected in parallel with smaller cap C3208, c3207 3209 are not installed.
    Since the cap is still in place, please check resistance between GND and P-ON +21V to see it shows really low resistance, more likely that your board version use C3214 for the P-ON+21V power supply line, we need to verify.
    If it is connected to P-0N+21V line then it will be 4.7uF 35V (min) and it will be the same circuit that RJ provided..


    ....one year later, Quarantine has finally given me time to look at this again.

    Not sure how I figured that the short without the 3214 removed. I'm looking at it now and I checked the resistance across each cap nearby and compared it to the C3214. All of them are extremely low compared to the C3214.

    However, I did get 536 ohms when I checked resistance between the C3214 and ground as described in your pictured. All the other caps nearby are right around 600 ohms when grounded the same way. Not sure the relevance of doing that, but I thought I'd throw that out there.

    Nearby caps I checked: C3213, C3205, C3212, AND C3211

    Does this confirm the C3214 is bad or do I still need to remove it? I will go ahead and remove it if that's the next step, but want to make sure there is no further troubleshooting that can be done with it on

    Thanks!

Just shows '1'... doesn't even move. This changes when I go to the higher settings.

    As you can see form RJ schematic, they will usually put more then cap in parallel as needed, if you trace out one end of the C3214, you will see that is connected in parallel with other caps that may or may be not installed on your board.
    The blank PCB can be stuffed to make many PCBA for the needed model of TV, so if the cap is not installed in particular PCBA then the schematic will label that part as 'Open'.

    Re: LF501EM5F No Power, Chirping/Beeping Transformer

    budm,

    I don't need to check from the power board right, I can just put one end on the AMP +13v of the main board and the other on the non grounded side of the resistor. What result am I looking for? It appears I have a short on one side from AMP +13V to the C3214 I am looking at, but it's tricky for me because I am a noob and have a digital multimeter. The only thing I tested was resistance from one end of the C3214 to the other and it seems to be significantly higher than any other resistor on the board (.30 on the 20M setting vs.01 on most of the other resistors). My board is a BA31T0G02013 so the schematic that R_J provided does not seem to help, but I could be wrong.

    Your help is greatly appreciated!

    I looked up a BA4GU5G0201_3 board and schematic, See if this helps, in this case they use a 4.7µf , The other version board are likely slightly different.

    1) Measure the dimension of the one you remove to see if it match the dimension of the replacement or not.
    2) To verify if we are talking about the same C3214 or not, you need to check the resistant of the Not Grounded leg of the C3214 pin and the AMP +13v jumper wire of the power supply board, do the same against the ALL +3.3V jumper wire of the power supply board.

    If it's 10uF that I need, then how does this cap look?

    Ah so what's the cap citywidetvtech is referring to? I just want to be sure I order the right part before I spend 6 bucks on a 10 cent part. Of course, I could order both, but I don't want to mess anything up by using the wrong cap. Please let me know!

    Thanks

    Hello, I'm having the same issue and have found the C3214 cap on my main board. What is the best way of confirming this cap is the problem before swapping it out with a multimeter. Do I need to check for the short as previously mentioned (got a little lost with the hot air gun).

    Thanks! Sorry to bring up this old thread.


    EDIT: I have a bad cap at c3214! confirmed by checking and comparing resistance with other caps on the board. With this being said, does the following look like a reasonable replacement? Original states 270pF while budm mentions 10uf?

    Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
    by Tynan Dill
    I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

    Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

    I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

    The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

    With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

    Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
    by PantherDave
    Hi all!

    I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

    I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

    Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue

    Hi all,

    TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


    I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

    A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...
