    Temperature around 45C still.

    Will see if it makes it to the end of this 10 hour video.
    Still going?

      I would turn it on and off several times while the video plays.

        I shut it off after 5.5h yesterday. It would be careless to leave a TV i expect may fail running in an unoccupied shop overnight. I will start the test again when i arrive in my shop today.


        As for turning it on and off, I can also do this as well. With the sweeping patterns video, i monitor how many watts it is drawing while doing so to see if i can get to its peek wattage draw, and i can when a full white screen is displayed.

          As Johnboy says , turn it on and off several times a day and see what happens.

            USing the TV right now to test some satellite recievers i have repaired. Checked panel hours about 10,400 hours and it has been powered on and off 5040 times.

            Lets see if this lasts this day of me using it and turning it on and off.

              I set my smart watch to vibrate every 10 minutes today and put a documentary on loop on the youtube.

              Every 10 min i turn the tv on and off.

                  maybe i wish i had the equipment to test how many amps those circuits peek at, who knows maybe these parts are in spec.

                    Why all the fuss over these IGBTs? it seems to me Shopjimmy were also having supply problems with the GT30F131s and have just chosen a different replacement the FGB20N60, you can be sure they would have run tests using it, before adding it to there repair kits.I ran long tests using the FGD4536TMs on my refurbished board before offering them for sale.

                      The fuss was the Peek/Pulse Amperage values been so different by a extreme from the OEM IGBTs specs. The first users has his pop relatively quick.

                      Which lead them to be suspect, However I received the kit and used them and so far I'm having no issues. So I can only deduce that the circuit never reaches the peek/pulse collector current the OEM IGBTs were rated for and these parts are suitable and the other user had other faults causing failure again, I am really lucky, or magic?

                      Since this isnt a J.K Rowling novel, I'll have to go with the parts are in fact suitable, that would be the most logical answer.

                        You are not reading the data correctly, they would not be my first call as replacements but are up to the job. With all repairs to this type Panasonic SC/SN board, replacing the driver ICs and transistor arrays is a must, if theses have failed or not, they will be damaged.Then its only a matter of time for them to fail and take out the IGBTs once more.

                          thanks for the Info. appreciated a lot.

                          I just replaced the IGBTs, and had sucess just doing thm before. I have a TC-P55GT30 at home that has been running for 3 close to 4 years now with just replacing the IGBTs. Think i should pull the board back out and do the resistors.

                          R401 402 403 421 422 and 423, as well as IC502, Q531, D401 and D423 that the kit also provides?

                          Panel has roughly 10,000 hours on it, if that makes a difference.

                            I'm suspecting shopjimmy are selling copies because I had a customer come back a month later. And when I reordered again and installed, the TV blew immediately.

                            I would guess there are good copies mixed in with defective ones. That explains why there's mixed reviews.

                              If Flocko says these parts will do the job then i believe him but just looking at the datasheets i would not have picked them.

                              No , the repair kit just comes with those items but RF1501/DAF30A and the resistors dont need to be replaced. The diodes only read short because the fets are shorted.

                              I agree with Flocko on the IC and transistor. These take a big hit when the board blows , i always replace them since i had blowing boards

                                So you think i should tear it down and replace IC502, Q531 then?

                                  Most do not buy kits,and just replace what they think will get the set running again, this is not always the way to go, and why if you buy a kit of parts would you not fit them all.( a good kit will have all the parts supplied that you could find blown or damaged, they are not put in the kit for fun,or to get rid of extras part that they have laying around in the workshop)There are no short cuts to a good repair if you want it to last and work first time

                                    I know this is an old thread, But the IGBT's are dead on my set again, I suspect due to the power issues we had with the ice storm. I took the board out and indeed the SC is shorted i remove the IGBT's and its not shorted any more. Same as before. Can any one help me source some IGBTs from digikey. Shop Jimmy takes quite some time to get to me.

                                    I took a look but im not confident enough to pic a suitable replacement in the active stock.

                                          I ordered from him and had no problems. But that was nov 16 and still use the parts as i bought them in big quantity.

                                            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...

                                            Problem

                                            This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                                            Hello friends,

                                            I have this laptop AMD Platform starting & not posting, fan spinning.

                                            When i press power button, the board get almost immediatly 0.5A ~ and board get stuck at 0.5A with power button led blinking indefinitly.
                                            If i stop the computer (pressing 5s power button), board stop and when i restart i get approx 0.37A ~ and


                                            I try to reflash the bios with no luck, same result, and i try disabling onboard ram (i remove resistors accordling schematic), no more progress.

                                            CPU and his area heat, maybe the cpu is dead?

                                            Hi,
                                            I have the above tv that just shows a red light blinking twice 5 times, i have taken the back off and all the capacitors seem ok,
                                            When i disconnect the mainboard from the PSU all the led's light up blinking fast but as soon as i reconnect the mainboard back to the power supply i get the red light blinking again twice 5 times,
                                            I have attached pictures of the Mainboard, PSU and a small video (zipped) showing what happens when i disconnect the lead from the psu
                                            Any help would be appreciated...

                                            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.

                                            Assuming...
