    Finlux LED 32.7 CTS turns on and off in cycles when plugged in

    PSU: Vestel 17PW07-2 041111 V2
    Mainboard Vestel 17MB70-5P V1 050511
    The problem of the TV is that it wont respond neither to the remote control nor to the button on the TV itself, and when its power cord is plugged in, it turns itself on, the red light begins to blink, at the fourth blink the screen turns on, shows white screen, and at the 12th blink the screen goes off again.
    In the next cycles it blinks only 7 or 8 times and at the 4th or 5th blinking comes the screen on and after a few blinks goes off again.
    A cycle lasts approx. 20 seconds.
    I have measured the voltages on the PSU, all are fine, except 2.

    On pin 14 (24v) i havent been able to measure voltage, on pin 13 (5vstby) i measured only 4,1 instead of 5v.
    I`ve checked all the diodes on the board with the following results:
    d111 484
    d229 235
    d308 355
    d112 660
    d109 630
    d106 700
    d226 200
    d224 160
    d223 160
    d219 500
    d215 330
    d228 330
    By all of them the current flew only in one direction, thats okey, but im not sure whether the diodes with values measured under 300 (ohms maybe) can be used further.
    I`ve replaced some capacitors (15 pieces), except the bigger ones which i couldnt buy yet, but nothing changed.
    I even uploaded a 1,5 minute video to youtube about the failure and the bizarre sound of the PSU.
    click here to watch it
    Could someone please help me further?

    Re: Finlux LED 32.7 CTS turns on and off in cycles when plugged in

    There is a diode near the filter caps its large check if for reading both ways out of circuit ! It tends to not fail shorted on these but leaky. The diode is normally a Mur460

      This is the diode, check out of circuit.

        I have checked it already, the measured resistance of all the diodes of the PSU is in my opening post.
        This was the first thing i tested, current flew only in one direction, the resistance in the right direction was measured at 484.

        I forgot to say that all the measurements were made with one leg out of the circuit.

          Let me rephrase that, you need to check this one out of circuit mate. If its good I will tell you what to do next.

            I have already checked that diode out of circuit, it seems okay.

                Changed the high voltage caps and MUR460 as well, maybe its less noisy, but still produces the same symptoms. Im stucked.

                  After changing the big caps the tv began to emit friendlier noises, (no clicking), and after a firmware flash it works again.
                  Everything works perfectly the only problem i have is to tune it with the cable.
                  I dont get any channels. Not sure though whether its caused by the tv. Maybe there comes no signal on the cable.

                    I have a Finlux 40S8070-T that exhibits exactly the flashing blank screen then turning off and continuing in that cycle as you've described.
                    Its not clear in your last post what you considered corrected this issue. Do you belief it was a power supply issue which you corrected or a main board software issue?

                      I think that i could have repaired the TV by just flashing a new firmware, but as I heard the weird noises coming from the PSU I was sure that the PSU must be bad.
                      Maybe it was, maybe it wasnt, but flashing a new firmware was essential, theres no doubt about that.
                      As a first step I would refresh the software of the TV.

                          Appreciate your reply. Ohms Supplies now supply a good range of software upgrades for Vestel main boards on usb sticks at a good price. I ordered and received the appropriate upgrade for the 40inch Finlux as mentioned in my previous post. Afraid I've had no luck in loading it though despite carrying out the instructions to the letter. As you appear to have been successful in flashing your mainboard I would grateful if you could explain the procedure you used.

                            Here are some vestel drivers, the actual one that runs my TV comes from this website.
                            1 copy the extracted files to a usb stick (there are no other files on the usb stick, at the best its fresh formatted)
                            2 turn off and remove the cord of the tv from the wall
                            3 insert the usb stick in the tv
                            4 plug the cord in
                            5 turn the tv on either with the remote or with the onboard button of the tv.
                            6 after 2 minutes it should be ready/finished.
                            Hope youll have luck!

                                No luck Im afraid. The correct software is based on the bar code sticker and the software needed on Finlux 40S8070-T is V10077867 is not listed on that link. Tried them anyway in desperation but no luck. I would be most interested to know which 32inch software worked for you. If anybody has access to that mb70 (V10077867)software it would be great if they could help.

                                  I picked this firmware
                                  http://support.hbaustria.at/loki/sof...0-0-7-B000.zip
                                  I havent found neither the perfect match firmware to my set, Ive just chosen one that was similar and worked. Actually 3 differents firmwares worked for some degree, but by two of them the tuner didnt function.

                                          MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro Turns on functions then turns off when I plug in USB C cable to reset the computer. I disconnect the battery fully and then reconnect it and it won't turn back on. After letting it sit for a day I plug the battery back up, and the MagSafe 3 cable and it powers on and stays ons, once I plug in a USB C cable into the port closes to the MagSafe port it turns off and the Amber light turns off and won't turn on. No water damage, nothing, I want to do a DFU restore to wipe the computer since the customer stated they did an update and ever since it just decided to not work...

                                          Panasonic ZT60 plasma tv with strange behavior and 8 blink code
                                          by cloo
                                          I recently got my hands on a 60" Panasonic P60ZT60 plasma tv (european model) that has some strange issues along with an 8 blink code.
                                          It know this tv is getting old but it was once considered one of the best plasmas ever made, and i think it is still holds on to that even by todays standards.


                                          So, long story short. When i first got the tv it had a very bright washed out picture with very raised blacks in all picture modes and i couldn't find the cause in the picture setting menus.
                                          After doing a factory reset this problem was gone and the picture was back to...

                                          Lenovo Thinkcentre Turns On When Power Cord Plugged in
                                          by Zentech
                                          I got a Lenovo Thinkcentre MT-3218 that when I plug the power cord, the computer turns on. The power button seems to work just fine. When I press it the computer turns off, and when I press it again, it comes back on. But when I unplug the power, and plug it back again, it turns the computer on... does anyone have an idea what might be causing this strange behavior. Could this be the power supply or a bad contact on the power button?
                                          thanks
                                          PS: everything else on the computer works fine

                                          Hey All!

                                          Long time forum member here with a problematic laptop issue!

                                          I got a RZ09-0196 with a bloated battery (still worked and charged fine) I pulled the old cell pack out and installed a new cell pack in its place.

                                          The laptop would not power on with the new battery installed without the power supply being plugged in.

                                          When booting into Win10 (all up to date BTW) I saw the battery icon with 49% plugged in not charging.

                                          TL;Dr version, old battery worked, charged but was bloated, installed a new non OEM replacement, laptop/windows...
