    RCA LED50B45RQ no power/LED question

    Hello all,

    Put in a new power board (RS129D-3T01). I get the red standby light and then it goes out when I press the power button. No backlight. I have a backlight tester (GJ2C) so I unplugged CON5 and put the tester on the left hand set of red/black wires. I can see a bunch of LEDs light up.

    Then, I put the tester on the right hand set of red/white wires and I get nothing. Am I doing something wrong or is the other set of strips bad?

    Thanks!

    You have two sets of LED strings, so it sound like one of the strung has open circuit.

      The strip with the RED/WHITE connections has bad LEDs. You'll have to pull the panel to get access to them.

          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...
