i would suspect the infrared detector circuit in the tv. try disabling it c if it stops turning on off. cheers and good luck friend

'04 CRT trouble
Found this by the side of the road. It works, but often starts turning itself off, then on, then off, then on, then off, then on.... etc. etc. Also remote doesn't work. Any ideas?
Chassis has crapcaps.Attached Files -

It doesn't make clicking sounds like a faulty flyback does it?Don't find love, let love find you. That's why its called falling in love, because you don't force yourself to fall, you just fall. - AnonymousComment

Re: '04 CRT trouble
Nope, definitely not the flyback.
I actually left it outside dissasembled for two days and was planning to throw it away tonight, but when I got home I found it playing nicely in the kitchen! Turns out my dad went through and dusted the chassis then put it back together and it's been on for about 4 hours without turning off. He thinks maybe some setting in the microprocessor was corrupted and letting it sit unplugged for a while cleared the memory, just like our old Sanyo would do sometimes (it would start flipping channels on its own). That could be possible, or maybe marginal crapcaps, or I was thinking maybe a dirty relay. Whatever the case, it's a nice TV and we're keeping it. If it starts acting up again I will clean the relay and start testing caps.
EDIT: Also, the remote worked the whole time. I noticed it was only the volume buttons that wouldn't work, and this was before it fixed itself, but I forgot to come back here and edit my post. My dad took the remote apart and cleaned that too and now all the buttons work.Last edited by weirdlookinguy; 01-12-2009, 05:36 PM.Comment

Re: '04 CRT trouble
Check the board carefully with a magnifier it probably has a cracked solder joint somewhere.
I have saved plenty of TVs from the dumpster because of this.
On I recently saved a Sharp and a nice 27" Panasonic they were on through hole parts one on the Sharp was on a reset IC (in a small transistor TO package) for the microcontroller and the other was on an NPN transistor on the Panasonic.
Giving the TV the whack test or poking the board with a wood dowel will confirm when it decides to act up.
Have fun I know I would be

Re: '04 CRT trouble
Well it started up again today.
Not surprising in the least.
I will definitely smack it when it starts shutting off to see if it's a solder joint or not. Also do you guys think a screwed up relay is a possibility here? Is there any way to clean them?Comment

Oops, I meant started ACTING up again today. Editing time limit has passed.Comment

Resolder a bunch of joints? That recently did the trick for my old Sanyo, which had intermittently showed snow when the RF input was used, and it hadn't responded to inertial repair attempts, i.e., whacking the cabinet, even though that always made the picture flicker. But even that flicker disappeared after I resoldered, and now I'll be able to enjoy analog TV channels for many more years, right?
Actually the TV had been bad for several months, but I didn't get to it until the vertical output started to act up recently and made the picture shake badly during the first 30 minutes and remain stretched and with bad interlace. Replacing three Jamicon capacitors in the vertical circuit that measured 3-50 times the normal ESR made the TV normal again. Oddly none of the Jamicon capacitors in the horizontal circuit showed high ESR.Comment

Onboard RAM defect
Hey all, I am trying to disable the onboard RAM on this 8 core AMD Thinkpad. I've hooked up the CH341A at 3.3V (not 1.8V because yolo). The chip I'm reading off of is a Winbond 74m25jweiq 32MB chip. I can't select the 74xx chip in any of the CH34 programmers I've tried so I just select a different Winbond chip that is 32MB. I wrote the bios to a file and verified it, modded it with BIOS memory SPD removal tool and flashed it back onto the board. When I verify it now, it errors and the laptop won't...05-19-2024, 04:08 PM -
HP 450 g1 keeps turning on even tho I shutdown/sleep . one way to stop the turning on cycle is pressing the power button few seconds thus force powering it off. But then sometimes it does not turn on at all but next day I try again to turn it on and it turns on....

Hello
A device with specifications
Toshiba Satellite PRO A50-A is here to replace the hard drive.
The hard drive has been replaced and there is no problem, but there is another problem, but the customer does not care to fix the problem.
The device enters Windows without any problem and works, even I put pressure on the CPU and graphics, but when I turn off the system through Windows, if I want to turn it on again, the system switches, but it turns off quickly within a second, and this routine continues. It is turning on and off within a second and soon it turns off.... -
Recently staring turning off more often, brightens set at 50% - monitor back side in PSU area is very warm to touch, also at front left corner getting hot.
When changed brightens set at 30% no longer turning off , and no longer I can feel any heat in this areas.
This can be signs of bad capacitors causing overheating PSU ? -
Laptop turns on only on battery but if I plugged the adapter with battery, it is not turning on. After turning on the laptop using only battery (no adapter plug in), then plugging the adapter everything works fine also charging ok. Anyone have any clue what’s wrong?...
