    Sony Bravia KDL-46W5150 won't turn on

    I have a Sony KDL-46W5150 that has no backlight and no standby light. Hit the power button and the little "SONY" below the screen and the green power light illuminate but that's it. No backlight, no sound, not much of anything. When powered off, the standby light doesn't come on either. The power board is putting out 12V to the inverter boards, and has 3.3V standby voltage. Does the wake-up signal come from the main board or the power board? I'm thinking my issue lies in one of those two components (and I'm leaning toward main board) but I've kind of hit the limit of my diagnostic knowledge. I don't know what kind of voltage I'm looking for on the backlight circuit but there isn't any.

    I bought this TV for $20 for the waiting area in my auto repair shop. I figured if I could fix it quickly and cheaply enough then it'd be worth it. The story goes that it was supposedly unplugged while it was on and hasn't worked since.

    Any advice on where to look next?

    Thanks.

    Well I was hoping to get some insight from here but oh well. With the power board putting out the proper voltage to all the various boards, including standby voltage, but a completely unresponsive system with no blinking standby light I figured it was a fried main board. It was. Found a used main board on eBay and put it in. Works great now. Just in case anyone comes across a similar situation.

      Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
      by jb_Bak
      Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

      Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
      Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
      CN6401
      Pin 01 NC
      Pin 02 NC
      Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
      Pin 04 "N/C"
      Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
      Pin 06 "GND": N/C
      Pin 07 "AC_OFF"...

      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...

      TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
      by howardc64
      All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
      • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
      • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

      Sony Vaio SVS MBX-261 board failure
      by delpiero3
      Hi everyone, newcomer in this forum, i watched tons of video from Sorin, i like the way i calmly explain things, i did quite some console repair, i am not that bad at micro-soldering, but troubleshooting where the issue is, is definitely where i still have progress to make. Usually i was able to fix the console because the failure was obvious, or because i was able to find someone with similar measures on the board and was pinpointing what to replace that way.
      Nevertheless, let's say, i don't come as a total beginner.
      I have this old laptop, which suit perfectly my needs, with the...

      HP ENVY X360 15-EU0005NA 203037-2 does not turn on, something whistles on the board.
      by brzostos
      Hello, HP laptop model 15-EU0005NA. It does not turn on, 1 in 100 manages to turn it on then after a while it freezes/disappears/flashes, etc.

      After removing the motherboard and connecting the board with RAM to the power supply, I noticed that at first all voltages start correctly and after a few seconds 3.3V on the PL4501 coil disappears and somewhere in this area something starts beeping on the board, sometimes after touching it with a finger in the area of PL4551 it stops beeping and 3.3V appears again.

      Original HP 150W power supply, the diode in the power socket lights...
