    Flashlight Test

    I'm sorry if this is elementary, but is a phone "flashlight" enough to see a picture if the backlight is out in all cases?

    It seems that I've had TVs where my phone would show an image and other times where I believed it would but didn't. I don't currently have a brighter light and wondered if anyone has had this same experience. I'll go get a brighter light if need be.

    Thanks,

      Re: Flashlight Test

      I have used my phone flashlight 4 times today. It does work, you just have to get the right angle to see anything. If you can bring up the menu, its easier to see than a source, like a dvd or others.

          I guess I just need to get used to where to look. After scanning the corners the middle and sides and doing this over and over with volume and menu and changing the channel, I guess it failed.

              Help with trying to fix phone that is not charging (Pics inside)
              by SluggerB
              I have two TCL A30 phones.

              Old Phone: This phone worked fine for years, then stopped charging If you plugged a charger into it, the phone would make the charging sound, the phone would tell you it is charging, but the battery icon would not have the charging symbol in it and the battery would not charge.I tried new battery, same behavior.

              New Phone: Works fine, bought as a donor board to try and repair Old Phone

              My interest here is to repair Old Phone, using components parts off New Phone if needed. I am not interested in replacing Old Phone with New Phone....

              Samsung LN40C630K1F LCD TV No Backlights and Flashlight Test Fail
              by signal.quest
              Hi all,

              I have been working on a Samsung LN40C630K1F LCD TV. On power up the backlights only briefly light up when first powered on then they go out (2 seconds to black). The flashlight test also fails. The sound works fine. Please see attached pics.

              I have researched the forums a lot. I have watched the videos of trying to locate the bad CCFL or transformer and bypassing. I can't find any evidence of a bad transformer/CCFL. I verified I get 376V from the big caps to the fuse. I have used a small/cheap oscilloscope and it looks like the MOSFETs on the inverter...

              new OS on a Sonim XP5s phone
              by keeney123
              To you programmers out there I want to know if it is possible to put a new OS on the Sonim XP5s phone? I only need this phone to make calls, receive calls, have a list of contacts and be able to call voice mail.
              I bought this phone new Sep.2021 as an unlock phone from a third-party seller. The phone worked fine until Jan 2022. I then had intermittent problems with the sound setting resetting itself. One of the settings, outdoor, would go to silent all by itself. When in silent mode it does not indicate a call has come in. I missed very important phone calls. All the other setting in sound...

              How Can I test PWM DM0365R?
              by chth96
              Hello
              I have power adaptor(220V/input, 12V 1.2A/output) which has symptom of fluctuating output DC voltage between 11.5V-12.2V.
              So I opened its plastic case and when switched it on, I heard constant tik tik sound from inside its PCB.
              I measured DC voltage between negative and positive pin of the largest capacitor(400v 10uf) and it was measured contant 300V.
              I also measured ESR value of all capacitors and I noticed that one of capacitor(KMG 16v 470uf), which located in the secondary side, have high ESR value(10 ohm),So I replaced it with same specification NXH capacitor....

              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...
