    Sansui 37" LCD TV Model SV-3715TLCD Standby voltage tripping

    Hi Guys,
    This one is a real head scratcher. My +5V STBY is fluctuating. The PFC circuit does not operate but is also pulsing. I dont get +400V on my mains smoothing cap but rather 330V DC which is correct since our incoming supply is 220V AC.
    I have narrowed it down to a PFC circuit problem but dont have the spares to repair it without having to wait months for my spares to arrive. I suspect that the OB2262 chip which operates the PFC circuit might be to blame but i dont measure any funny resistance measurements on that 6 pin chip with regard to ground. I have scoped my output from the OB2262 and what i see is a series of pulses followed by nothing and then it starts all over again. I even measured on the collector of the power mosfet Q6 that drives the PFC coil and there is a large pulse (x100 probe used). What i noticed is that the Vcc supply to OB2262 is fluctuating from 22V down to about 12V. That is pin 5. I have added the circuit diagram for the PFC for you to check as well as top and bottom images of the power supply. The power supply is a IPS150.

    Would you also suspect the OB2262 chip? Or is there aother test i can do to prove it?

    I suggest you first try replacing the startup cap on pin 5. It's probably something small like 22-47uf. From your schematic, it appears to be the cap to the left of zener diode Z4.

      Yes, i am not in front of the tv right now but if i did not replace it then i firstly measured the capacitance and it was spot on and then i measured its ESR and it was 1.2 ohm which is also spot on.
      Just of note, i forced the power supply on (5V to STB pin) and then my mains smoothing cap voltage went to 420V DC but was fluctuating slightly as well as the other voltages. Does this mean that the PFC circuit only activates when Standby-on is activated?
      Where should i look for fault???

        I did a search on this forum on the IPOS 150 power supply and found a lot of information especially about a round diode on a heatsink that was shorted causing the PSU to trip. I never saw this diode so i cant wait for tomorrow so that i can be in front of the set and sift thru the info.. will post a update.

          Hello,
          it may sound old, but I would change all the output caps without hesitation, under that weird looking heatsink-cage. I once repaired a Schaub-Lorenz TV, had the same odd placement of caps.
          What were the engineers thinking? "Yo, let's put the caps where they get dried out the fastest. Maybe under this hot aluminium? - yeah, that's a good idea" -clap, clap.

          Edit: there can be many reasons, why a PFC doesn't start. Of course, it is often caused by component failure on the hot side, but in some cases a short on the cold side can cause a shutdown, due to overload. A quick measurement from cold side supply lines to GND can answer this question.

            A lot of power supplies don't operate the pfc in standby mode, only when the power on command is applied does the pfc operate
            The OB2262 does operate in burst mode in standby which would explain your scope reading
            The cap I would change would be EC5 47µf/50v
            Q5 supplies VCC to the PFC circuit to turn it on, If the 18 volts on EC5 is fluctuating that could cause the pfc circuit to start up once and a while.

              Hi Guys,
              It was that round diode on the secondary, a HER304 it was short circuited. Replaced it and power supply started up. Yes, i will replace the caps that were not previously changed to avoid further issues. Regards....

                  Good job. Like to hear such easy fix once in a while.

                    Fixing the Charge Circuit of the Batteries of the DC Motor
                    by Astonished
                    Hi friends of electronics

                    What you see in the video and pictures attached is the circuit for charging the batteries of a DC motor.

                    The problem is that this circuit cannot charge the batteries (3 1800mAH NiMH batteries) any more. When the circuit was OK, its green LEDs lit up one at a time to show that the batteries have charged more. But now that the circuit is flawed, LEDs light up as you see in the video and at the same time successive beeps are heard.

                    Please help me fix this circuit.

                    Lenovo L490 Ram voltage circuit malfunction
                    by rddube
                    Hello friends,

                    Looking for some guidance here. The RAM voltage circuit on this motherboard keeps burning out PU301 which is a RT8231AGQW. Copy of the board with the burnt chip attached with some voltage measurements and copy of the schematics also included.

                    I think I've checked almost every component in the circuit, but when I change the RT8231, the laptop starts I have 1.2V on the inductor for about 10 seconds and then the RT8231 goes south and no more voltage on the inductor. All other voltages on the laptop are good, this is the only one conking out for a reason I...

                    Electric oven tripping circuit breaker after turned on for 3-5 minutes
                    by beetle1303
                    My electric oven was working fine all the while from purchased 2 years ago. I have been using it weekly for about a year, but stopped using for a year now since then.
                    When I turn it on again yesterday, the tripped the circuit breaker and whole house no power supply. I reset the circuit breaker, and retried. Same thing happened.

                    This is what happened:
                    - Turned on the oven power supply, set temperature to 200c, everything worked for a few minutes, then the power tripped. Oven was warmed/hot.
                    - Reset circuit breaker, retried, same thing happened.

                    Vizio D50u-D1 Dead Set No Standby
                    by fharris1977
                    Hi. I got a Vizio with no power or standby, and won't turn on with remote or button. I checked the voltages on the connector and all read 0.00V or nearly 0(0.050 ON/OFF pin). None of the pins are labeled STB for standby although I do see some 5V pins. Other than the obvious standby led, which isn't coming on, is there a way to check for standby voltage on this PS. I'm trying to see if my problem is the PS or mainboard. Some Vizios I have fixed with no standby led me to think it was the PS but it turned out being the mainboard. Any experience with this set would be greatly appreciated.

                    Short Circuit tester
                    by Tarot Superstars
                    Hello.
                    I have seen a short circuit tester made with 3 * 9V batteries, a voltage limiter component and a resistor connected to the probes of a multimeter.
                    The theory is that the meter becomes sensitive enough to read very low resistances and the lowest resistance to ground on a circuit is likely to be a short circuit in that area.
