    RCA 40LA45RQ Power issue, standby on

    Got this TV set from my Dad, he replaced it with a new Sony Bravia so I figured I'd try to get it working.

    Typical no power on situation, red standby light stays on.

    Only thing that makes this a little different, that I havent seen mentioned elsewhere is if you leave it unplugged for several minutes, then plug it back in the set will turn on, and work for about 3-5 minutes, sometimes more sometimes less, then you hear multiple pops/clicks from the speakers and it shuts itself off (blue power LED turns back to red) and after that it will not turn back on unless you unplug it and do that whole dance again.

    I replaced the power board since it was only $16 on eBay, now looking at the main board since the issue didn't get resolved. What is the best procedure for testing to make sure I'm replacing the correct parts?

    Thanks All, I appreciate the help

    Shopjimmy sells EEPROM so that may be the problem. Did you try cooling the EEPROM using canned air duster upside down to get the coolant out for cooling?

    BTW, pictures of the whole back side of the TV to show all the boards will help.

      there are many main boards for that TV. You need to check what mainboard you got and select the correct EEPROM IC. As budm said, SJ has them.

                Got a main board for $46 shipped on eBay. Just hookup and running about 10 mins no hiccups, think it may be fixed!

                    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.

                    Assuming...

                    Acer Spin 1 SP111-33 Power-On Issue (Troubleshooting Assistance)
                    by justice171
                    I am seeking guidance on an Acer Spin 1 SP111-33 that does not turn on when pressing the power button.

                    Below are the observations and troubleshooting steps I have taken so far: Observations and Tests:
                    1. Verified that all critical voltages are present:
                      • 3.3V and 5V are always present if DC is plugged.
                      • 1.8V on the BIOS chip is present.
                    2. Checked the power button functionality:
                      • When pressed, the voltage drops to 0V, indicating the button is functional.
                    3. Inspected the flex cable connecting the USB, audio, and power button to JUB1:
                      • Confirmed connectivity is intact, ruling out issues
                    ...

                    hi guys, my motherboard will not start no matter what
                    when connected to ac power, the battery does get charge, led indicator glows red when discharged and turns white as it is fully charged.
                    but rest nothing happens no sign of life.

                    this laptop has one preexisting usbc power issue - so i use DCIN jack for charging my laptop.
                    with this issue my laptop was unable to power ON only sometimes i just had to wait some time.
                    but now nothing happens no matter how much i wait/ charge/ press and hold power button.

                    i have no knowledge of motherboards ....

                    Laptop Power Issue – Works on Battery, Fails on Adapter Load
                    by yaya3gmax
                    Dell laptop (E7440, uses the notorious CD3301B power controller + MEC5075 EC + BQ24715 charger IC)
                    Symptoms:
                    • Laptop works normally on a pre-charged battery.
                    • Battery does not charge when adapter is connected.
                    • Without battery:
                      • Laptop powers on from DC adapter, passes CPU/RAM init checks, then cuts DC power abruptly.(seems to shutdown one of the mosfets in the charger path). Then the loop continues indefinitely
                      • Speakers “pop” when power cut occurs indicating harsh sutdown.
                      • If RAM is removed, the system shows RAM missing blink error code indefinitely without cutting DC power

                    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...
