    JVC JLC47BC3002 47" LCD TV Dead - No power on , no lights

    I have a JVC JLC47BC3002 47" LCD TV that does not power on, and has no lights illuminated when plugged in. I got the TV in this condition, so I don't have a history of it.

    Visually, everything looks good to me on both the Main and Power board. I don't see any burned components, or bulging caps. I measured the voltages at some of the points on the Power board. I got 212.0 VAC on both sides of the main power fuse (the only fuse I found on the PCB).

    The only voltage I measured from the PCB to Main board connector was 5.14v at the labeled 5.2V terminals, all others were 0V. Full detail below.

    DIM = 0V
    Status = 0V
    On/Off = 0V
    Standby= 0V
    12V = 0V
    12V = 0V
    12V = 0V
    Grnd = 0V
    Grnd = 0V
    Grnd = 0V
    Grnd = 0V
    5.2V = 5.14V
    5.2V = 5.14V
    5.2V = 5.14V

    Any ideas on what to check next? Thanks for any help.

    Looks like the main board isn't returning PSon / BLon. STBY voltage is there on the PSU. Equals main board problem.

      Are there diagnostic recommendations for testing the main board, or is it usually recommended to just replace the entire board?

        Do you get any change on the on/off terminal when you push power button? If not I would be checking button connector for voltage and response when pushing buttons.
        I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.

          There are no lights on when plugged in, so in my view there is no Std-By voltage. If we see 5.14Vdc only then my next check would be to remove the cable from the Pwr Bd to the Main Bd and measure the voltages produced by Pwr Bd. The pin marked standby should read 5Vdc. If 0Vdc on that pin and still only getting 5.14Vdc on the 5.2Vdc pins then I'll suspect a Pwr Bd failure. I would measure the voltage across the Main Filter cap as this will give me more information.

            I missed no standby v. Saw the 5v and assumed standby.

              You can try the PSU by unplugging the main board, leave the back lights connected. Then take two 1k ohm resistors and solder one from STBY voltage to On/Off and the other from STBY voltage to Standby. When you plug that PSU in, it should fully turn on and the back lights should be on too.

              As far as the main board goes, there is probably a "Mediatek" main processor. You can try reflowing it, but I'll give that only a small rate of success. Depending on you 'skill level' you may just want to replace the main board.

              In your case the Standby pin is PSon, the On/Off pin is BLon.

                Thanks for the input so far.
                Here is some more information with the cable to the main board disconnected. I still only see voltage on the bottom 3 pins (all labeled 5.2v). Today I am seeing voltage constantly varying between 5.14v to 5.23v. When I measured yesterday, it was solid at 5.14v.
                With the connector unplugged, there is still no voltage on any of the other pins.

                I can remove the board and check the voltages across the 3 largest capacitors (in the lower right portion of the board as shown in the first photo) if that would help diagnose things better.

                  If the main board doesn't return PSon and BLon, the PSU won't turn fully on. All you see is 5V, that's it until you either fix the main or force it on.

                    I'm pretty inexperienced at this, so just to be sure I'm understanding correctly, it appears that you are calling the three 5.2V terminals "STBY voltage". So I would solder a resistor between one of the three 5.2V terminals and the "Standby" pin to turn on the PSU, and then another resistor to the "On/Off" to check the power to the backlight.
                    After that is done, if the PSU is working properly, the backlight would be on, and the 12V terminals should show voltage.

                      More results:
                      I did not have any 1k ohm resistors, but I used two 3k ohm resistors that I had.
                      I connected the resistors from a 5.2V output to the "On/Off" and "Standby".
                      The backlight worked, and here are the voltages measured from the 14 pin connector output:
                      DIM = 3.33V
                      Status = 0V
                      On/Off = 4.64V
                      Standby= 5.21V
                      12V = 11.84V
                      12V = 11.84V
                      12V = 11.84V
                      Grnd = 0V
                      Grnd = 0V
                      Grnd = 0V
                      Grnd = 0V
                      5.2V = 5.30V
                      5.2V = 5.30V
                      5.2V = 5.30V

                      So from these results, am I correct in assuming the PSU is functioning properly and the main board is the problem, as CapLeaker suggested earlier in this thread?

                          I'm confused when does standby = pson? Not doubting just slow learning curve

                            Learning curve, yes... I fell for the same thing many moons ago. Trust me, there are a bunch of folks that get confused with that.
                            If you follow the pins on the PSU on picture #2. You need to have PSon and BLon. It can't be the Status or the DIM pin, so there are only 2 pins left. The Standby and the On/Off pin. There is no standard set by the manufacturers, just a bunch like to call them PSon and BLon because it is short and it does identify perfectly what is what.
                            Also you could trace it out on the back side of the PSU.

                                Re: JVC JLC47BC3002 47" LCD TV Dead - No power on , no lights

                                I purchased a used Main board for the TV (that stated it had been tested) and now I have:
                                Red light on front of TV on when plugged in. Pressing power results in the white light on the front of the set turning on, but the backlight does not turn on. Once the white light is on, pressing the power doesn't do anything. I must unplug the TV from the wall to get the white light off.

                                Here are the voltages measured at the 14 pin connector when the white light is on:
                                (all voltages were 0 with the bottom 3 measuring 5.14V with TV off and only red light displaying on the bottom of the set.)

                                DIM = 3.31V
                                Status = 0.02V
                                On/Off = 0V
                                Standby= 3.26V
                                12V = 12.3V
                                12V = 12.3V
                                12V = 12.3V
                                Grnd = 0V
                                Grnd = 0V
                                Grnd = 0V
                                Grnd = 0V
                                5.2V = 5.14V
                                5.2V = 5.14V
                                5.2V = 5.14V

                                Any ideas about what the next step is?

                                  "On/Off = 0V' The main board is not sending the BL-ON signal to turn on the backlights circuit.
                                  And also other problem as well on the main board based on this statement: 'I must unplug the TV from the wall to get the white light off.'

                                    Re: JVC JLC47BC3002 47" LCD TV Dead - No power on , no lights

                                    I thought I would post what I ended up doing on the TV. As I originally saw on another thread here on Badcaps, the JVC JLC47BC3002 and the Vizio E471VLE are almost identical TVs (both manufactured by Amtran). The lcd panels and power supplies are common, as is the form of the main board.
                                    I ended up returning the non-functional replacement JVC main board that I bought, and getting a Vizio E471VLE main board. When I installed the Vizio board, everything works properly. The only consequence from the Vizio board was having to switch to a Vizio remote control.

                                        I'm having the exact same issue here. I'd like to avoid replacing the main board if possible ($100).... but I don't know how to diagnose bad hardware without visual indicators. I attempted to "reflow" the CPU with a heat gun but did not change anything. I don't see any bulging or leaking caps, no burn marks, fuses are good. Looks like I'm getting correct voltages from psu. I was able to jump 5v to "on/off" and "standby", and got the backlights to come on. I also understand a bad eeprom/ bad CPU is also likely with these cheap sets... and I guess that wouldn't be testable ... I saw this thread where another Amtram tv was brought back from the dead with a firmware update. I can't seem to find one for this tv...

                                          Help Needed: Samsung UE55MU8000 Dead - Possible Main Board Issue
                                          by Asraf Atb
                                          Hi everyone,

                                          Im looking for some advice regarding my Samsung UE55MU8000 TV with main board model BN94-11606C. The TV suddenly stopped turning on and now shows no signs of life at all not even the standby light at the bottom.

                                          Initially, I suspected an issue with the PSU, so I took it to a repair center. They tested it and confirmed that the PSU works perfectly, even on other TVs. Based on that, I started investigating the main board.

                                          I disconnected the main board from the PSU, and the backlight turned on, which seems to confirm the main board is the issue....

                                          Is it possible to upgrade from a Vestel 17MB97 main board to a 17MB110 Main board?

                                          I suppose the real question is whether the existing pinouts from ether a 17IPS71 psu are cross compatible with a 17IPS12 psu? If they are then the exchange of the main boards should have no issues providing the screen is compatible with both main boards. Obviously you can change the screen configurations easily enough (providing you have the correct files) for the main board. Why may you ask would I do this? Well a lot of the smart features are no longer working on a Hitachi 48HBT62U main board I wish to give it a new lease of life!
                                          Obviously the same LVDS connector for the screen connection...

                                          PS5 dead no beeps, no lights

                                          Got a PS5 with no power. I can read some voltages on the back side of the board with PS connected. I do believe I have 12v coming in and I have found 3.3v, 5v on the board. I do have 12V on + terminal of all the electrolytic caps pictured. I believe I have a short on the vcore / apu supply? All the APU 1V small coils all 6 on both sides of the board are reading around 0.6 ohms on both terminals. I believe console may be dead due to a shorted usb port which I was able to unbend the pins. Do I have a shorted mosfet or possibly bad ceramic small cap or a dead apu? The usb ports are connected directly...

                                          Hi and thanks in advance for any input you might provide!
                                          I have a Sceptre U550CV-UMRD8POTV83BB 4K LED (this is a dumb tv) that I bought new in August 2021, so It's just completed 3 years.
                                          Main power board model: TP.MS3683.PC821 T-Con board: N4TP546UHDPU2L_BO

                                          Last Sunday I was watching a dvd and fell asleep for about half hour, when I awoke the tv screen was black and couldn't get the dvd menu to show, so I changed the input to antenna and had sound but no picture, turned it off. I then got online and found this great site! ....read many troubleshooting tips and this...

                                          i have this asus laptop. This laptop was bought not working.

                                          Initially I found corrosion in the 2 attached photo's and after cleaning that with ipa boom it worked

                                          then it just stopped again.

                                          here is what i have discovered so far.

                                          i checked the first 2 mosfets by dc in jack no voltage is passing from drain to source on the first mosfet.

                                          see circled components on other 2 photo's the circled mosfet has a gate shorted to ground and the other photo that component is shorted to ground

                                          I'm really not sure where to go...
