    2011 sylvania lcd tv stuck in channel scan mode

    Very odd....turn tv on and it just shows preprogrammed channels scanning in upper right corner

    No picture

    No buttons on tv respond other than power

    Now...if i hit and hold power button the channel scan stops and the picture comes but once i let go of power button tv powers off and when powered back on the channel scan continues

    Any ideas?

      You could have a bad channel button, try unpluging the board with the push buttons from the main board and see if the scanning stops.
      If the buttons are across the resistor ladder, if one button goes resistive, it can activate a function, ie: channels scanning, volume going up/down, menu poping up etc.

          tv is working now rj

          took tv apart and took power button board out and just toggled channel down button about 100 times and now it works

          may be faulty //sticky....but seems to be ok now....tv powers on fine and no ghost channel scanning anymore lol

            one question though...with power button/ir board disconnected how would you be able to power tv on??? if tv is on and you disconnect the board from main would tv still stay on ?

              I would replace all those micro-switches with new ones if they are as they do become faulty after a while.

                Re: 2011 sylvania lcd tv stuck in channel scan mode

                thanks but the tv not a tv i use just one i got for free

                so as long as it works now thats all i care about..if it does it again in future i would then replace board or the switches....the board on this tv is hard to find and very expensice...$25

                normally these power button boards are on ebay for well less than $10

                that tells me its a common issue...on this model tv....using this boARD

                  These buttons should be easy to find, check your scrap. or order new ones. If it is just the one button, then remove it and use the remote. Also once the tv is on, if you unplug the board the tv will stay on.

                    thank you

                    did not know the buttons were universal?

                    i have tons of scrap power button boards.....and am not fmialir with removal procedure...will have to look into it if i decide to do that but for now tv is working fine so ....but good to know for future use during troubleshooting

                    i appreciate the knowedge

                      I put a drop of 90% isopropyl alcohol on the buttons and work it in.

                        Yes. The micro-switches are universal. IPA is OK but I prefer to use a drop of WD40 or LPS 1 or any such light penetrating lubricant.

                            Reverse engineering of 18650 4-channel tester
                            by spleenharvester
                            Hi friends

                            I have reverse engineered this tester, schematic is attached and is complete except for capacitor values. These testers annoyingly have no model number but they are the ones you find on the first page of just about any website if you type in "18650 4-channel tester". There is also a 2-channel variant and a newer 8-channel variant. They are very cheap (about Β£15) and can measure voltage, current, internal resistance and capacity. They have a multicolour display for all these statistics. They also have terminal blocks so that if you want to use a breakout board...

                            American Audio VLP1500 Distorting on one channel
                            by dicky96
                            Hi guys I have a VLP1500 amplifier here - one channels works fine and the other channel distorts even at low volume settings

                            Protection and Clip LED are off

                            There is something wrong with the BIAS voltages around T16 and T18 (in particular) on the bad channel

                            I tested all diodes and transistors in this area in circuit with diode mode - both channels seem identical. Same in resistance mode across all the resistors here.

                            The output DC voltages on pin1 and pin8 of the 5532D dual op amp at the input of each amplifier module are the same, and the audio...

                            by sima112
                            Hi guys,
                            I need a help with my Marantz pm6005. It started to have weaker the right channel a few months ago, than it got back to normal and now it has lost sound completely on the right channel. At the final stage it was loosing the channel for a while and than it returned. After it has disappeared completely I could forced it back by unplugging the source form CD (which I normally use) to phone and back. It would then work for a few minutes and died again. Now it is possible power up and all function works normally (apart the right channel ) on all inputs, except the phone both channel...

                            by Logistics
                            So my dilemma is that I can't seem to get my board to run in Quad Channel. I have an X10DAX with Dual E5 2690 v3's and originally it had four 16GB sticks of Samsung ECC. Figuring I needed to have a stick for each DIMM1 slot I purchased four more identical sticks of Samsung M393A2G40DB0-CPB. So, now I have eight 16GB sticks for a total of 128GB of RAM. When I install the ram so that Each DIMM1 slots is populated the system will not post even if I clear the CMOS, remove the battery, what-have-you. But according to what I'm reading in the Manual, which is admittedly not very clear, populating each...

                            Board as written in description was stuck at VGA LED. common Problem wit these type of bords.... tried all the "standard stuff" like resettin... reseatin.... found out the LED Controller MCU1 = IT8295FN-56A geting burning hot under the last PCI Slot.. now i desoldered it cause there were only 18 ohms at the caps arround.... another aorus x470 in working condition with similar part and nearly same layout had arround 280 ohms...

                            my question is: why doesnt the board start know without this chip.... worked myself through the boardview but i canΒ΄t understand...
