    Power Trouble with LG 47LN549e-UA with ezsign software

    Im working on 2 LG TV's model numbers 47ln549e-UA. They will turn on then flash the LG logo, then turn back off. The indicator light will flash 3 times. Ive replaced the power supply board in one to no avail. Voltage readings seem normal but i cant find the service manual for this model anywhere so im not sure if the voltage going to the backlights is correct. I also cant find an error code guide for LG tvs. I was thinking it may be bad LED strips but since its both tvs (they are from a restaurant,went bad at the same time) im wondering if its an issue with the ezsign software. Would like some advice before I undertake the difficult task of led strip replacement. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thank you

    What voltages do you have on connector P201 and led connector P801 and do you have a sharp photo of the power supply?

      You probably have back-light issues.

      Try the flashlight test. Once you turn the tv on, let it initialize for 10 seconds, and then press the menu button. Now with a flash light at a 45 degree angle about 2 inches away from the screen, try to see if you can see the menu appear A dark room is usually ideal. If you can still see picture on screen then you have bad LED's

        We need good clear pictures of how all the boards are connected together and the details DCV readings of the power supply board connectors.

          Already had done the flashlight test. Couldn't see anything. Here are the voltage readings. This is a brand new power supply as well.

          P201

          1= 3.3 10= -.002
          2= 3.5 11= .008
          3= 3.5 12= .010
          4= .005 13= 12
          5= 0 14= -.005
          6= 24.24 15= 24.61
          7= -.003 16= 1.091
          8= 12 17= 1.71
          9= -.004 18= 3.25


          P801

          1= 26.61
          3= 73.61
          5= .062
          7= 107.51 (this voltage would start high and drop quickly and steady aftet power button is pushed)

            Re: Power Trouble with LG 47LN549e-UA with ezsign software

            Can you tie the readings to the pin outs which would be helpful. For example:-

            Pin1 (GND) = 0V, Pin2 (GND) = 0V
            Pin3 (12V) = 12.2V, Pin4 (12V) = 12.2V
            etc


            The led voltage looks as though it should be 100V and if falling is probably a faulty led.

              in post one you say both tvs went bad at the same time if this is correct could it be a power surge issue though a input cable/aeriel etc?

                Possible. I was also wondering if it is tied to the fact it has ezsign software. It turns the TVs into marquee signs for businesses. These were used at a restaurant for that. Could the program possibly run the LEDs too high causing them to burn out? And i will tie the voltage ratings to the pins later this afternoon when i get home.

                  The leds have probably been at maximum brightness displaying the on screen messages and have most likely failed.

                    I was starting to think that as well. I just wanted to be sure before ordering new LED strips. though it is starting to look like that may be my best option. Any preferences on sites to order from other than shopjimmy and TVchop shop.(besides Ebay)

                      shopjimmy now do kits with all you need tools/replacement leds and lens at a resonable price too maybe look on there site led repair kits.

                        Test the leds first to find any faulty ones as discussed in many threads in this forum. You could possibly use leds or led strips from one set to complete a repair on the other.

                          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.

                          by GLISIT
                          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...

                          by sam_sam_sam
                          I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

                          One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

                          2070 Super with crazy power consumption numbers
                          by Joe24
                          Have a Gigabyte 2070 Super with some bonkers power draw readings. Card runs fine, other than some GPU throttling because of the power numbers. But GPU power always reads too high, more than the power reading for the entire card. And VRAM power always reads way too low, along with PCIe and 6-pin power readings. The 8-pin reading seems plausible.

                          Typical readout while running 720p Furmark, 8x AA:

                          GPU clock: 1590 MHz
                          Mem clock: 1750 MHz
                          GPU temp: 58.8 °C
                          Hot spot: 71.8 °C
                          Fan speed: 33% / 1000 rpm
                          Mem used: 454 MB
                          GPU load: 97%
                          ...
