    Right. You don't want to end up with this. Now it's just a shop tv. Rubbish with no back anymore.

    Did I leave the soldering iron on?

        i definitely don't want that happening with my tv. i wonder if the design is the same with all 50pa5500 or if they have solved the problem in later sets. there seems to be a slight clearance in my set between the frame and the cable. didn't remove the frame to check the plastic tabs though.

            after checking the posts regarding this ribbon issue now I am more scared. i hope it is not hard to remove the bezel. i have to find out how i can trim the plastic and avoid it from contacting the cable or how i can insulate the cable. (if it didn't start causing problems already). I will work on it this weekend. thanks again for warning me.

                I removed the back cover and checked the suspect areas and there is a mm clearance between the black tape and the ribbon cable.

                The space in the bottom side of the tv is tighter maybe ½ a mm of clearance between the tape and the cable but still the tape is not touching the ribbon cable along the side.

                I got more curious and wanted to remove the frame (or bezel) from the chassis but got scared when the glass under the bezel was parting with a cracking sound. (it was the plastic making the noise but it scared me for a minute thinking I might have cracked the screen)

                Probably i was doing it all wrong, the screen was laying on the couch, and I removed the bottom four screws which were connected to the plastic bezel, and was carefully pulling the chassis up holding the two steel bars in the center left and right.

                now the clearance in the bottom even seems tighter after i tried to remove the bezel and gave up half way and put it back in.

                Do I have to place the tv on its stand on a media table and just pull the plastic frame (or bezel) away?

                    Yeah you can only perform this operation with the TV face up not down. Plastic frame should literally just pull away from the panel remember there is going to be the outer glass still attached. It's been a few months for me make sure there's no screws holding the plastic bezel to the metal frame first

                        Vizio D50u-D1 Dead Set No Standby
                        by fharris1977
                        Hi. I got a Vizio with no power or standby, and won't turn on with remote or button. I checked the voltages on the connector and all read 0.00V or nearly 0(0.050 ON/OFF pin). None of the pins are labeled STB for standby although I do see some 5V pins. Other than the obvious standby led, which isn't coming on, is there a way to check for standby voltage on this PS. I'm trying to see if my problem is the PS or mainboard. Some Vizios I have fixed with no standby led me to think it was the PS but it turned out being the mainboard. Any experience with this set would be greatly appreciated.

                        Samsung BN44-00259A standby question
                        by Crystaleyes
                        Hi all.

                        I started a thread while back regarding TV power supply standby circuitry as it is something I am not quite on top of.
                        SMPS theory and function is becoming more familiar, however the standby part is still a bit of a mystery.

                        Anyway, a friend has this TV with the above mentioned power supply board which has no standby voltage, nor any other voltages leaving the board.
                        The mains AC comes in fine, gets filtered and rectified with power is on the main filter cap as well as the transformer and drain pins of the ICE3B0665J, but that's it.

                        Yamaha TSX 120 Standby Problem
                        by psssst
                        Hello forum. I've recently been given a Yamaha TSX 120 DAB radio and ipod dock. Its working well however when put on standby its using 6.3 watts. The manual states less than 1 watt on standby. I measured this with a plug in monitor which seems accurate with other items. In use it uses around 7.5 watts. Firstly has anyone who owns a similar radio also got a plug in monitor to check if this is normal with this unit? In the first half a second the monitor shows 0.3 watts which I suspect is what it should use but something is switching it to be almost fully powered. I've searched the manual for eco...

                        JSK4228-050 Power Supply Standby voltage changing! (Possible from Wharfedale LTF37K1)
                        by reessi
                        Hello,

                        I am trying to re-purpose this power supply that I saved years ago from a tv with a cracked screen for a monitor but that is not really that relevent at the moment. I do not recall which tv but a google search looks like it is from Wharfedale LTF37K1.

                        You may notice I made some alterations moving some components to the top and some wires which are from a 5v regulator I fitted to the 12v output as the monitor requires 5v. The standby was already at fault from the beginning, it has nothing to do with the alterations...

                        Years ago it had some bulging caps...

                        LED TV Samsung The Frame 55 inch QE55LS03RAU Standby Light only
                        by ChristianBr01
                        Hello everyone,
                        I got a Samsung The Frame 55 inch TV for free from uncle cause it is not turning on anymore. I am in the second year of training as an electrician so I have knowledge already but I am far away from to be a pro.
                        The TV has Standby but ist not turning on. A Friend of mine owns a 50 inch Frame TV so I checked the One Connect Box and the One Connect Cable there. Both are good and working normally. I have opened the TV case and measured some voltages on the Board.
                        What I already found is that the 12.8V are not an the connector to the main board connector to the power...
