    So you recommend Mastech MS8229. Looking for a new meter.
    I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.

      Not fixed!
      With all covers back on it went back into backlight strobing after a period of time. Even got worse and dropped into '2 seconds to off' mode and would re-start with same strobing. When cooled down it would be OK. Pulled covers off and played over various parts with a HAIRDRYER (not heat gun this time). The 24V rial dropped to about 20V with a large AC component I couldn't accurately measure. I identified FET Q3 (or something nearby) as a likely suspect. I can induce the fault with heat, and by playing cool air over the area it quickly returns to normal operation. There are some 1W resistors in that area that I also wonder about, especially R36 (0.5 Ohm). But I've decided to replace Q3 as process of elimination.
      It is a P13NK60ZFP, which is a 600V 13A 35 W FET. In my spares I have a P9NK50ZFP, which is 500V 7.A. This is a 42inch CCFL TV. Could I risk using this lower rated substitute do you think?

        Re: Daewoo DLV-42C7LMB sometimes starts after LONG period

        That's quite a difference. Manufactures don't tend to put in bigger components when every cent they save goes in their pocket. Good you can induce fault with heat but heatgun/hairdryer makes it hard to narrow down to one component.

          I thought exactly the same about saving costs etc and why therefore put in a higher spec pair of transistors? And it is a significant difference in current carrying capacity. I was waiting to hear from you and seeing if you thought the same. I can buy 10 from AliExpress in China, landed for less that A$5. Might be a few weeks before they arrive but I'd prefer to know I've got this TV sorted before it goes out of the workshop, even if it is a give-away to a friend. If the new FET doesn't change things I'll just move onto other components in that vicinity. But I'm pretty sure I'm close now.

            Well I'm thinking capacitor possibly optocoupler. Maybe you can use something to shield other components from heat to narrow down. I have hot air station so can put on small nozzle to concentrate on a small area. Or use freeze spray on individual components.

              Well, you might have been right re capacitor. When I looked real close I noticed one of the mylar capacitors had an expansion split in it. This was from my previous disasterous attempt to check for heat sensitive faults with a heat gun. It was a 1nF cap, C12 on the circuit, connecting to pin 9 of IC2, the oscillator driver. I replaced it with another 1nF mylar cap I had in my box of spares and put the orginal FET back in. Put all back together again and played the hairdryer over the previously heat sensitive area. All continued to work. Moved the hairdryer around a bit to get the whole board nice and warm; no problems. Reassembled completely, and it's been running for over an hour without any issues. That cap was in the target zone of the heat sensitivity. I'll continue to run it and see how things go.
              Do mylar caps ('greencaps' as I used to know them) have a history of failing? I ask, because this power supply board had almost every electrolytic bulged and I thought replacing those would fix the problem, which it didn't. I then had this disaster with my overheating the board, and a few mylar caps, including the coupling cap burst open. I replaced those and ran a hot iron over most of the joints and to my surprise it came to life. Did my excessive use of the heatgun simply identify the mylar caps that were on the way out? Because not all of them swelled and opened up.

                Electrolytics are the usual ones to fail. Once in awhile the others but usually only one. Not a group.

                  Re: Daewoo DLV-42C7LMB sometimes starts after LONG period

                  Well, the set bounced, and I'm determined to find the culprit. Anyone offering technical assistance might like to refer to the power supply circuit diagram on Post 1 of this thread.
                  It bounced because it would run for about 5 mins then shut down. I confirmed the 5V Standby supply was good in failed condition. The 12 volt rail dropped to about 10 volts in failed condition and was varying. I assumed the failure is in the hot section of the SMPS. I have good voltage at the output of the bridge rectifier BD1, varying slightly as it gets loaded down then comes back up when load is removed. (Loading explained next.)
                  Voltage measured at the RTH thermistor (output of the PFC circuit) shows it comes up to about 350 volts, then drops off to zero, and cycles like this about every half second.
                  At this point I'm out of my depth with SMPS theory. Does this suggest the PFC circuit is working, but when it senses a failure in the following driver stage it shuts down?
                  I've replaced Q2, and Q3, ALL electros have been replaced as well as poly caps, and I've run a hot iron over all components associated with the higher voltage supply.
                  It's now gone into the failed state permanently, but previous investigations seemed to suggest a heat sensitive fault, hence my use of the hot iron on the solder pads.
                  I have ordered replacement IC1, IC2 and Q1 semiconductor components because they were very cheap. But I hate being a replace-and-hope technician; far more interested in seeing if I can identify the failure point.
                  Any SMPS gurus want to suggest where I should be looking?

                    Dear forum members,
                    I'm trying to repair this All-in-one machine that had a problem in the usb-c port, maybe the owner connected some shorted device and caused a disaster.
                    I found that were shorted :
                    Southbridge Intel Q370 SR404 (shorts on main core, 3v rails and data lines on usb ports)
                    U89 Intel JHL7340 Thunderbolt controller
                    U22 MX25L8006E Thunderbolt controller firmware IC (with a little bump on it)

                    When I unsoldered these 3 ICs , the main 3v line has returned to a normal value, around 400mV (measured with red probe on GND and black one on...

                    SHARP LC-70UC30U starts up with RESET then turn off and blink 1 LONG 1 SHORT
                    by Mitike
                    Hello guys,

                    I have SHARP LC-70UC30U which won't turn on and the stand by LED blinks the 1 LONG 1 SHORT error
                    According to other sharp SM-s it is lamp error (I can't find SM for this model)
                    And yes I checked other blink error threads on the forum about other Sharp models and still can't make it work.

                    If I unplug the set and hold the POWER and INPUT buttons while I'm plug it back the set fires up and shows sharp logo and after that the Android logo and turn itself off again and starts the blinking and wont turn on again except if I do the RESET procedure again....

                    Question about UE60JU6800K backlight power.
                    by Gjackson
                    Hi all,

                    got my hands on a Samsung UE60JU6800K, initially it apparently had a bunch of white circles on screen which I confirmed was due to loose diffusers when I opened the set up and found a mountain of them at the bottom. The person I got if from stored the TV unused for a lengthy period after this so when I got it the backlight was completely gone. I took out the strips and almost all of the LED's have a crack on the yellow phosphor form the center of the LED outward, the ones that don't have this crack seem to work still (Maybe due to humidity after a long period?). Anyways I...

                    Lenovo Ideapad 5 15ARE05 startup issue
                    by db80
                    Hello friends,

                    I've been racking my brain over the past few months on the following issue:
                    I have a Lenovo Ideapad 5 15ARE05 laptop that basically works fine as long it starts up at all.

                    If you shut it down, often you hear the HDD still spinning and the Power LED remains on, it only shuts down if you force it (pressing the power button for like 15 seconds).
                    Then, if you want to Switch it on, nothing happens, only the Power LED lights on, nothing else. If you leave it, then after like 30-60mins it turns on itself.
                    I tried all the common alleged „fixes“...

                    I have a really weird problem, this motherboard was working normally, someday it just started and all fans were running but didn't want to post, tried resetting bios, checking CPU and it was getting warm tried external gpu, flashed bios with programmer, but same problem.
                    Next day after several attempts the board goes into protection mode, no more staying on, I turn on the PSU fans starts directly turning, it used to not start until I press the pwr button, now it starts directly and fans spins, and shuts off after 3 seconds sometimes less, then won't start again unless I unplug the PSU and...
