    Telefunken TLEDD-32HDR no back light

    Hi Guys,

    Just when I thought I was on top of this issue, I get pitched a curved ball!

    Telefunken TLEDD-32HDR with no back lights.

    Photo1
    The set has three led strips connected in parallel with a supply of 25 volts.

    Photo2
    I have measured the 25 volts at the beginning of each strip. I double checked using my 'scope and the 25 volts is ripple free. No voltage present on ANY of the leds on ANY of the strips.

    Photo3
    There are test points between each individual led, but strangely don't measure continuity, and the leds wont illuminate using the meters diode setting as it did on a similar set.

    The 25 volts is supplied by diode DB801 & smoothed by caps EB801 & EB802 47uf/100v in parallel.

    please help.

    You should be able to find where the open circuit is using your meter on continuity.
    There have been mention of the led strip connectors being of poor quality so you may have a problem at the connection to the strip.

      Thanks man will double check, even though the leds are mounted on quite a thick aluminium looking Strip. (photo)

      After another think about it, maybe the supply voltage could be too low. The set comes on with a dull red standby led then goes brighter. I assumed (yes, I know) that the brighter led indicted that the set is switched on, however now I see that the STANDBY led has three legs, indicating that there must be a green ON led.

      This makes me think that the set isn't coming out of standby, and that the 24volts to the leds is insufficient. My initial thoughts.There is a regulator on the main board with 3v3 on one of the legs, so guessing the processor has stopped working. Have priced a main board in S.A. but not available new, only second hand with no guarantee. Dont think I will buy off the net, to dicey. Will have a last poke at it, and post if I find a solution. Zero Bravo, right out.

        Have you tested all the Leds ?

          I would agree that 24V does not seem right. I suspect you may well have a power supply fault. Can you measure all the voltages alongside the connector with the legends alongside. EG 12V, 3.3V, P_On, 5V etc. and tell us what you find.

            Sorry your post above mine didn't come though, yes 24v is not correct. The leds in series meaning they need about 70v to drive them all. The 24v means the booster is not being turned on. Being on of them cheap boards I would say you have corrupt firmware the voltage reg is probably ok but not receiving the proper drive voltage for it.

              Now if you got 70v at start up then it went down to 24v that means you have a bad Led shutting down the driver.

                Thanks, been busy rechecking in the mean time, I must check that voltage on switch on to see if it drops.

                on re-checking what i thought were test points weren't at all. So I popped off all the "lenses" on one strip and prepared three leds for some tests Photo's 1&2

                This included my old faithful 12 volt supply, jumper leads, dmm, & a 2.2 kilo ohm & a 1.8 meg ohm resistor photo3

                With my meter connected in series with one led, and using the 2k2 as a limiter resistor the led illuminated quite brightly, showing a draw of 3.4 milli amps photo 4

                substituting the 2k2 limiter resistor with 1.8 meg resistor the led illuminated very dimly with a current draw of 3.8 micro amps (if my meter is to be believed, its a cheapie) photo 5

                2 leds in series with the 2k2 resistor showed a draw of 1.1 milliamps with fair illumination photo 6

                2 leds in series with no limiter resistor shows very bright illumination photo 7
                (no amps were measured as my meters 10amp facility is bust, sorry)

                3 leds in series with no limiter resistor shows no illumination. photo 8

                Sorry if this seems tedious, but i was trying to determine the voltage & amperage necessary to illuminate one Strip of leds versus one led.

                I'm still at a bit of a loss as to the minimum and maximum voltages required for a full strip illuminated, but will try to get the voltage up to +/- 70 volts as you suggest. Thanks all, like Arnie said " I will be back".

                  12V supply, 2K2 ohms and 3.4mA
                  Volts drop across resistor = 7.48V so leds have appox 4.5V drop.
                  The 1M8 Ohm is far to high a resistor for the leds to draw any current as you noticed.

                  So you can now calculate approximately what voltage is required to drive the string of leds.

                    Vf of the ONE White LED should not be that high.
                    Are you sure your regulate power supply is putting out 12V?
                    You should Check the Vdrops on the LED.

                      Re: Telefunken TLEDD-32HDR no back light

                      How many LED per strip?
                      Can we see the pictures of the bottom side of the board where the LED connector is?
                      Pictures of the WHOLE backside of the TV?
                      I doubt that the LEDs strips are connected in parallel.

                        The led looked very bright for 3.4mA. Would that be right?

                              Thanks Dick, yes 6x4.5 = 27volts, and then they would just be illuminated. I erred in saying "quite bright". they were just "turned on". With the 1.8 meg the led turned light grey from the dark grey (threshold?)

                                Your making this way too complicated than it needs to be. Each led needs about 3v, so count how many are on the strip then figure out what is needed for one strip. Normally about 27v for one so that's 3 9v batteries to test one strip.

                                  Thanks budm, not familiar with term Vf. The output of the dc supply was 12.5 volts. The way i saw it was +/- 2volts across the 2k2, and 10v/2 making 5v across either led. Making them turn on?

                                  Three leds & no limiter 12v/3 = 4v per led, not enough to turn the leds on?

                                    Three leds & no limiter 12v/3 = 4v per led, not enough to turn the leds on?
                                    If the Leds don't turn on if you apply that voltage one is O/C and failed normally unless they are all like that ? If so you have not wired them properly.

                                      I agree, I had to satisfy my curiousity, my mistake was not to pull the plug on the leds and see the 24 volts didnt change. the problem lies with the main board, its not available new, the customer is not interested in a second hand pcb so the set is returned unrepaired.

                                      Will try a less complicated angle of attack on the next one. Most appreciated for your guys responses.

                                          Hello Sharp TV experts
                                          Our Sharp LC-80LE642U displays one short one long flash error code which is a backlight error. I went into service mode and there were 8 lamp error counts recorded. I reset the count to 0 and did a reset. The last monitor error cause was 16 B00014639:12. 16 is the code for backlight error. I tried to power the tv up but went back into error mode.

                                          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....

                                          Hi people!!
                                          The owner said it showed bad picture once in a while (attached)
                                          I see that there is back light but no picture.
                                          I want to ask if it is possible to disable the NVIDIA GPU and use the intel one?

                                          (TLDR: It was capacitor C6519 [Koshin KZH 50V22uF] and C6515 [Koshin KZH 25V47uF] on the power supply. I have questions at the end)

                                          Always use caution when working around mains power and high voltage capacitors!

                                          Hey guys, I'm repairing a Denon AVR X6400h for my brother. It quit powering on after a power outage. It acted like this last time there was an outage, but after letting it sit overnight it started working again for a few years. This time letting it sit did not bring it back.

                                          This happened last Saturday and today I finally had time this morning before I went to work to replace two non brand capacitors

                                          I will let you be the judge weather or not these are bad or not according to the blue ESR meter that I am using

                                          I am comparing them to a brand new one that I installed

                                          The display came back on and the programming was not lost which I was surprised by I would have thought that when the display went blank that so did the memory as well
