    sanyo dp42740 plasma wont power on

    hello i have a sanyo plasma dp42740 i got for 20 doolars. the problem is it will not power up. the power light does not come on what so ever, not even for a second. the power supply clicks several times when you plug it in, the power button does nothing. the screen does light up with a glow to it very flaintly. there is a small logic board that when i unplug the power cable to it the glows goes away. this is the only cable that kill the glow on the screen. no power light on front, could be burnt out, not sure. can the psu be stuck on that only this logic board gets power? it has an analog and a digital board that feed info to this logic board. if anyone could help me figure this out would be get.. don't know plasma that good, can replace boards all day long on lcd's

    If the screen glows the set IS powering on. Try running the test patterns by jumpering the logic board (look it up!) and see if the set comes alive.

          can,t seem to get set to do any kind of test pattern. downloaded the repair manual but it doesnt even show tnpa 3505 board at all. this is the board that connects to the y board and is causing the glow on the screen. i unhook the power to it and no screen glow, but still have nothing else.. led on front never lights up at all still thinking it could be psu (b159-001) causing the problem

                Can you post pictures of the back of the set showing the circuit boards and interconnection of the boards (in focus).

                Check the voltages are as shown in the manual attached.

                To run the test pattern, do a search on the forum.

                There's a lot of information on this forum regarding this model if you search DP42740.

                  im not sure you can run test patterns on these sets this is a quote by tom66

                  Hmm, unfortunately, Panasonic D boards do not have a simple test pattern jumper. It does sound like a main board fault, given the lack of power LED.

                    Hopefully the manual should be a good starting point to fault finding. Check what voltages are missing or if the Protect is kicking in. As I said above there is a lot of info on this set on the Forum which should help.

                          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...

                          Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
                          by PantherDave
                          Hi all!

                          I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

                          I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

                          Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue
                          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...

                          Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
                          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...

                          Global AC logic output - XP Power FleXPower
                          by tony359
                          Hi all

                          I've fixed a couple of FleXPower X7 power supplies. Since they have some logic outputs, I went to test them to make sure all was in order.
                          "Fan Fail" would work when the fan is manually stopped.
                          "Global DC" would change state when I manually adjusted one rail beyond 10%

                          "Global AC" doesn't seem to do anything. To test, I power up the PSU and then I remove power. The 5VSB and Aux rails remain active for quite a few seconds after power is removed. I see the rails collapsing but there is no change in the "Global AC"...
