    GVA- gva50fdled- strange question about stanby

    Hello guys,

    I have this GVA tv that is just stuck in standby with the red light.

    All the voltages seem ok, the 12v system is on for some reason however back light wont turn on even when forced. The Pon is also activated.

    Bit the question I have is this, if I put 5v externally into the standby circuit should this alow the basic system to run and show a red/green light to show? Im trying to isolate wich part is at fault.

    Cheers

    Have the same set which I posted about in July last - slow to turn on and getting worse as time went on. The PSU was all capxon caps and some obviously swollen - black ones have bad rep. Other sets have taken precedence and I haven't got back to it yet as first need to get all caps for complete replacement. If the main is isolated and PSU forced on the other voltages should come up if it is OK. Can't recall the markings so does BLon also have PWM or similar next to it? as both may need to be jumpered for backlights to activate.

      yeah it has BLO and ADJ and literly that conector only has 2 wires going from it. so not sure if the board markings are 100%

      the capacitors do look kinda dodgy, but so far the voltages seem ok. except mabee the 12v with is reading at 13.5.

      what i cant work out is if i put in 5vstandy, 5v or 12v through external power supply nothing, but hook up the main power lead and we have red light action.
      I want to know if this is normal or if it SHOULD at lest try and work with just 5v conected.

        Simplisticly feeding power to circuit should operate it but there are ICs etc in these with interconnections to other circuits for protection etc etc so I doubt it unless to test speakers or other straightforward stuff. The pson is working so I think if you jumper a 5v to blon and adj if all OK the backlights should show. This with main board disconnected and which would then harbour the problem.

          YUP, SPOT ON, putting 5v do BLON and ADJ turned on the back lights.

          so the board is turning on PON but not the back lights.....weird.
          for funsies Ive pulled out and replaced the windbond chip (and reprogrammed) but same issue. stuck on red light :/

          with pretty much everything being controlled by the main CPU i don't know what else it could be :S

            HA, nvm that WAS the fix. i was just impatient and didn't let the tv have time to start properly.

            Faulty Windbond chip. Read BIN then reprogrammed into new chip. yay

              Good fix. Only got back to mine recently and yes need eeprom to read correctly. Have a friend wanting the set so hopefully will be ready soon. Awaiting new chips.

                Lithonia Lighting versus Light of America Compact Fluorescent product quality
                by sam_sam_sam
                I have a Lithonia Lighting 65-Watt Gray Hardwired Compact Fluorescent

                I also have back when Light of America had these light bulbs available for yard lights

                The issue with Light of America was the blast boards had all most certain board failure while bulbs hardly ever fail

                While the Lithonia lighting fixture has all most certain bulb failure

                So I have modified the Lithonia lighting fixture to accept the Light of America light bulb and see how long this will last

                I have only had this light fixture for not more than a year if it...

                Strange! Acer laptop not powering on but charging the battery (orange light on when charger and battery plugged in).
                by serious_electron
                Hello Everyone!

                I have an Acer Aspire A315-42 laptop. I generally leave it on for long time by closing down its lid (so it enters the sleep mode). Recently, it rained quite heavily in out area. And the humidity and moisture seem to be high. So one late evening, after I opened the lid and turned on the laptop, it did power on as the blue light turned on but after it booted to the desktop screen, just 5-10 seconds after both the screen and blue light went out and laptop shut down (the blue power light turned orange). And after 2-4 seconds that orange light went off and the laptop died.
