    LE52M86BD Backlight Fails Easy Fix

    Got this nice condition 52" Samsung, fault was backlight starts then shuts off after power up obvious fault in the lower portion of the screen as it was physically dimmer. This set uses two inverters each side of the screen with them tiny buffer transformers and large main one on the Psu. I found that the bottom transformer on both left and right side slave inverters the feedback is high (12v dc on the feedback diode should be 2v any higher causes shutdown) on both them before shutdown meaning a fault in the lowest lamp or one of the transformers that drive it.

    I tested both transformers and they tested fine ohms wise, so I tore the panel apart suspecting the lamp to have failed. The lowest lamp had cracked right where it plugs into the connectors on the right hand side complete clean crack as well very odd. Dont understand how as the frame is very sturdy on this and not easily flexible so could of been defect from sale.

    I do not have any 52" ccfls in stock so simply I removed the lamp and bridged the outer pins on the buffer transforms on both in inverters for that lamp which dis-enables the protection circuit which keeps the backlight on and working with a missing lamp.

    Sealed it up and tbh the panel looks fine no obvious light difference with the bottom lamp missing. I then recapped the Samwha Wb caps on the Psu which are known to fail and resoldered a few things.

    Set is working fine looks good as well. Strange this thing is immaculate no dust inside either and it only had 105 hours use and I believe it too. Odd but free fix just need a stand now then will get it up for sale

    you wouldn't have a pic of what you bridged?

    Nice work disabling the protection, but I wouldn't sell it without being fixed properly... but that is just me.

            Epson 5040UB Projector No Lamp Strike Stuck in Startup - Blinking Status/Lamp Lights
            by vestaviascott
            Hoping someone here can put me on the right track. I'm trying to troubleshoot/flowchart the "internal projector error" on my newly acquired Facebook Marketplace bought Epson 5040UB projector (3LED, not DLP). Owner said it needed new lamp, actually error code blink pattern indicates "Internal Projector Error, call Epson support". Unit is out of warranty as of 8/19

            Here's what happens:

            1) Power on
            2) Blue power indicator lights and the lens cover motor opens the lens cover, light fan noise heard
            3) Blue status light flashes for appx 4 minutes...

            BenQ TH681 Originally overheating now wont fire the lamp - Colour wheel not starting
            by AJ847.63e
            Hi All.

            Does anyone have any reference materials or something I can use to try troubleshooting a BenQ TH681? Google unfortunately has turned up zip. I did find a service manual for a W series BenQ but that is pretty much useless, it's more a glorified user manual. A list of voltages would be great as I suspect my mainboard is faulty, the colour wheel voltage is not dipping like it should.

            The one I am troubleshooting now was originally overheating after a lamp replacement. It originally would take 2 minutes or so for it to shut off and blink the temp and lamp lights...

            Help on Samsung Syncmaster T220 dead ccfl lamp
            by mikey5791
            Hi,

            This monitor previously is my main working monitor which i have been using for 8~9 years. Yesterday, when i switched on my pc from fresh to power on, the monitor is just black no display. I started dismantle to look inside the monitor power board but nothing looks suspicious or burnt. So i took my external ccfl inverter to try to power the monitor ccfl lamps which consisted of 2 lamps on upper part and 2 lamps on the lower part.

            Found out the upper ccfl lamp which is supposed to connect to cn304 on the power board did not light up. Then i installed a used working...

            test active pfc power with lamp test
            by khelane
            Hello
            I have a big problem and that is that in some cases when repairing active pfc power supplies I cannot work with a test lamp. I can only get help with 5 volts standby and for starting and starting I have to work without a lamp and this way there is a possibility of parts exploding and other parts being added.
            Sometimes with a multimeter test the problems can be reduced to some extent, but I had several cases that had to be tested on and online and recently two varistors exploded. They had terrible resistance because the power supplies were over 800 watts.
            Is there a way...

            Sharp LC-60LE810UN Lamp Error
            by Yanleb
            Hi all,

            I have this Sharp LC-60LE810UN that stays off and blinks a Lamp Error (1 long flash followed by a short flash, in a loop).

            I already confirmed that the first backlight strip has an open LED using a LED strip tester. The other 3 LED strips are fine.

            Before tearing the LCD panel apart, I want to make sure that the rest of the TV set is good. I've tested the power-supply/LED inverter board by sending 5 volt to PS-ON, to PNL-POW (that commands power the T-CON board only), OFL and STB pins. The power-supply is good.

            I've tried all the key...
