    Philips plasma keeps blowing VS FETs (Samsung ps-424-ph PSU)

    Good day folks. I've recently fixed a 42 inch Philips plasma display (or so I thought) which had 2 shorted FETs that drive the Vs. Trouble is the repair only lasted a few days: now the same FETs are dead-shorted again (along with the fuse, of course). The power board is a Samsung ps-424-ph (I can provide photos if need be), but what could be overloading the Vs bus to cause such behaviour in the first place ? The X/Y boards have their fuses intact. Does this happen when PDPs get old and begin drawing more power ? The FETs are FQA24n60.

    Did you replace the driver for the transistors and related capacitors for it ? have serviced a few of them supplies one with shorted pfc fets. I replaced all surrounding capacitors (smaller ones) and the driver for it the caps go high esr causing a noisy input to the controller and it will see a lower in put in general which can throw the controller off and cause it to throw a wobbly killing the fets.

    My advise replace the controller and smaller capacitors in that area.

      Thanks for the info, though those are not the PFC FETs - they're the Vs FETs...anyway, same concept, I got the gist. The controller is on a small riser board, but I don't think it's worth the headache at this point - already wasted too much money on this thing, so I'll just give it back to the guy and that's that - end of story.... The caps on the other hand could be bad, since I haven't replaced any. Makes sense, since they're at the top of the cabinet where all the hear rises...tough with no ESR meter :|

        Here's the PSU in question - rings any bells ? The FETs are on the heatsink right next to the green transformer at the middle-top. The controller is the riser to the right of that. I'm guessing the cap I should've replaced is that small one next to the riser. There's also a solid polymer one on the riser itself...

          Philips 32PFL4901/F8 BA4GF0F0102 2 Not getting standby led
          by alro7779
          Hello, guys!

          The same 32" Philips TV I was having video issues, but now I don't have standby led at all. Someone here shared with me the schematic of the power supply, and checking the voltages, I see right after the resistor R604 I'm getting 1.6 v which is too low for enabling the Gate of the Q601 mosfet (the diagram says 4.2). On the R614 resistor I'm getting 181 V in and 117 V out, then through R603 I'm getting the same 117 V in and 59.9 V out, finally getting the latter voltage in the R604 BUT getting just 1.6 V out, which is the voltage that goes on to the Gate of the Q601...

          Philips 8200 series 65PUS8204/12 stuck at Philips Logo
          by G33RT
          Philips 8200 series 65PUS8204/12 stuck at Philips Logo, it does not reboot it just stays on the logo.

          It does power up when pressing the power button.

          I already try the power button while plugin the plug with no result.
          Also put the latest firmware autorun-TPM191E_R.001.004.100.000.upg on a MBR/FAT32 USB stick at USB port2 with no result either.

          Could this be an PSU or eMMC issue ?

          Philips curling iron - is this a common AC cable?
          by double_DD
          Hi all,

          Wife has 2 Philips hair curling irons half defective - after learning how they're supposed to work and testing them, it turned out that both have defective power cables, and both on the same place; broken wires due to wire bending.
          As they were both relatively easy to disassemble, and cables are plugged not soldered (as they can rotate in the handle), I was sure it would be easy to find replacements. But - NO! I'm unable to find anything similar on ebay or Aliexpress.

          Not sure if this is something Philips proprietary, or a standard, but the cable plug...

          Philips 47PFS7509/12 LCD TV problem
          by janos6662000
          Hi

          I have here a Philips 47PFS7509/12 LCD TV which came to me with a weird problem : without signal i could access menu, make a factory reset, access menus, etc.
          When i applied cable signal to check image, i had normal picture, but TV was restarting.
          I downloaded original firmware and applied the update, but the problem remained.
          From a colleague i received a "factory package software" which is a lot bigger.
          I made another firmware update, but still did not solve the problem.
          Somewhere on the way the error got worse, because at the moment the...

          How an incandescent light and a ESR meter ** friend**have a machine blowing fuses
          by sam_sam_sam
          About a month ago we had a transformer jumper wire that burned in two different places between two transformers caused over $200 thousand dollars worth of damage to VFD drives at least 10 of them and a memory card and quite a few power supply as well

          Now we have most of the equipment that got damaged back up and running except a feeder that has issues and we are waiting for some parts for

          Now we also have another piece of equipment that was blowing fuses on the 110 volt controller switch circuit with the ā€œEā€ stops and one switching power (24 volt) supply and a transformer...
