    17pw15-9 Wharfedale 37" LCD

    Hi guys,

    Having an ongoing nightmare with this tv... Basically it starts crackling from the speakers and the PSU (assuming a transformer?) and will occasionally turn itself off and flicker on and off.. I changed every possible part on the PSU as advised by other posts on here... Occasionally it would behave for a while and then start again... Ended up ordering a new PSU which improved the symptoms but now they're back.

    Seen people mention about PFC fault but I've changed the PSU. I've measured voltage across the main cap which is perfect and other times it sends my meter mad and turns the TV off. By pushing and moving the PSU and main board it alleviates the symptoms for a short while until they return.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.
    Loz.

    What model is it. How long did it behave itself with the replacement PSU. Do you have any photo's of the boards?

      What voltage do you get across the mains cap ? It should be measured in 600v dc mode, I have serviced alot of these supplies the replacement is probably bad as well.

        Thanks for the replies. Model is LCD3710HDAF. Pictures are actually on my previous posts on this subject haha.

        Reecey I hope you can be my saviour again... 392 VDC but it turns the tv off when I do it. Takes a few attempts which is bizarre. It's like it can't correct the slight drain of my meter and cuts out.

        After fitting the new PSU it worked for about a week but it did that before anyway. I'm no stranger to buying already broken boards so more than happy to consider that however the fault Is still exactly the same.

        Thanks guys.

          I can see no reason why attempting to connect your multimeter probes across the two pins of the cap should reset the set other than a possible fracture in the connection between the pcb pad and the capacitor pins which is disturbed when you attempt to probe the pins.

          However you say it's a different power supply so I can't see that being the problem. Have you checked the solder joints on the mainboard connector that's connected to the power supply or checked that none of the pins of the mainboard connector are damaged in any way.


          Edit
          Looking at the picture of the power supply is the bottom of the board well clear of the chassis or does it have a plastic protection film under it to insulate it from the metal chassis.

            Main board hasn't been removed at all but I'm assuming that's the next step. Very bizarre. I take it this isn't a known problem with this power supply? Lol.

              I recognise the power supply and 99% of the time the only problem I've ever had with them has been bad capacitors.

                Plenty of known issues with these supplies, my first step would be to check what the 24v rail does when it messes up.

                  Cheers Reece. No labels on the board so assuming 24v is to the inverters? Measured it and it's sat at bang on 23.5v but that's without it playing up. I'll message with the results when it next happens.

                    Ok mate try heating the Psu with a hairdryer and see if it messes up faster, Im certain this is a Psu fault here.

                        Lol probably because its not having to do as much Lvds and Hdmi processing which uses more power as moving images, not to forget active backlight dimming etc. You got an image of the whole backside of the set ?

                          Found a main board on eBay for £3 including postage... Like you say it's probably not that but for £3 I couldn't grumble. It's behaving now as I lifted it onto the floor to have another look

                            I'm back again haha... Main board on and tv as usual worked fine for a week and now it's doing the same thing. Fit PSU and main board, audio begins to crackle and then goes completely. By tapping and wiggling the wires on the PSU it comes back and then goes. Checked for cold joints and bent pins etc... TV switches itself off when I measure across main capacitor. Output voltages all seem fine... 24v, 5v and 3.3v. Voltages at speakers drop during the crackling... I thought it could be a faulty sound board but why the hell does the TV turn itself off when I measure across the main cap?

                            Thanks guys.

                              Sounds like cold joints, normally several Smd resistors in the Pfc area.

                                Should I not be suspicious that it's the same fault on this PSU as well though Reecey? What a rubbish set of boards these are...

                                As always thanks for your response.

                                  Its got to be a Psu or wiring fault, got to rule out every possibility. Resolder the Smds on the Psu first.

                                    I have a UE40F7000 Samsung which occasionally fails to properly come out of standby. The relay clicks and the backlight flashes but then goes off again with a click, and repeats. I think its temperature related as leaving it overnight seems to allow it to switch on OK.

                                    I assume its PSU related and had a look - it's a BN44-00632B. No signs of swollen caps or hot components.

                                    I saw a great YouTube video on a possible PFC related issues and an underrated resistor https://youtu.be/DREofE4WIvg?feature=shared though a quick trace from the SPC7011F pin 7 lead me to a resistor...

                                    Greetings!

                                    I have taken this active subwoofer from Wharfedale for restoration. This is already in a bad shape as far as the connections goes. It has already been worked by local technicians. The most important part that I am looking forward is the schematic diagram, as there is jumper placed and a track has been cut, as if to bypass the actual connection. I am not sure if this is by design or someone has tried something to achieve.

                                    Another thing is the TDA7294 was badly treated with its legs cut and it had a crack too, so I have replaced it...

                                    Hey folks,
                                    I picked this neat monitor up from a recycling center years ago, and it worked fine for a long time. I know they are prone to T-con issues with the Altera chip, but I've yet to experience any symptoms of that going. I always perform scaling on the GPU though. It had occasionally thrown a black screen at me, that was usually reset by powering it off, and reseating the DVI-D cable in the sole input. I gave it to my brother who said the problem got worse, and it would be very difficult to get it to display a picture, it took lots of fiddling. As far as I understand him, it always...

                                    Hello, Badcaps is my last resort. I am the first owner of the monitor. I reached almost every repair store in my area, but no one even wanted to hear about troubleshooting an old CRT monitor. At this point, I have been trying to figure it out by myself, but I have no idea where to start or look for.

                                    I wish to know how to think and locate a failing component. I will put all my efforts to learn and contribute.
