    Emerson\Funai alc320emxf will not power on

    I have a TV that is labeled Emerson on the front but Funai on the model label. It says it is alc320emxf. The issue it is having is that it has now lights or power when turning on. I checked the switch and I get contact when pressed. I checked out what I think is the main power board and on the 2 wire plug it has around 160 volts constant. That plug connects to what I think is the inverter board. I also checked the main diodes and fuse, they checked fine with a ohmmeter from what I can tell. I did find two sb390 Schottky barrier diodes at d641 and d642 that ohm out to .1 ohm. I don't remember the difference between testing Schottky and standard diodes if any. They are still in the circuit as of now.

    With that said I am leaning towards these Schottkys but its been so long since I had dealings with them. I don't have any of these diodes here or at home or I would try them. I can get them but I have to go through and get purchase orders and that is a pain on small items like this. Would it be a chance of a different board being bad? Also due to age would it be better to just buy a replacement?

    Thanks in advance for help.

    You need to test them off the board first just to be sure. 0.1 Ohm is not right, and your meter probes really < 0.1 Ohm resistance? What Ohm scale are you on?
    We also need to see the pictures so we can see what we are dealing with.

      The diode itself is .1 ohm, With the leads and diode it has a total of .4 ohms. I took off the .3 ohm of the leads. That was reading at the lowest ohm scale on a digital meter. I got the time to take one lead of each diode off the board and measure it. One of the sb390 diodes measured similar to other diodes, higher one way than the other. The other sb390 diode,part d641 with one lead out of the circuit checked out at .1 ohm both ways. So I think this is the culprit. What was throwing me off was that they are installed in parallel. So in circuit both tested bad. But once I got them out I could tell one was good and the other was bad.


      From a search the board looks to be aPhilips A91F2MPWS001 (BA94F0F01024_A, BA94F0F01022_A) Main CBA. I may look around at home to see if I can find one there. I have lots more parts at home than here at work.

        I got it going! I have a storage closet for junk parts. I work mostly on computers and printers so I looked in there thinking a power supply might have one. I found a xerox printer board that had one. I replaced the bad one with one from the xerox power supply. It worked. I am bench testing it but I think it will be fine as long as something else didn't cause the sb390 to go out. Thanks for the help.

          Nice job, looks like you solved it.

            you were lucky. Usually there is way more than just one diode bad.

              What Zener Diodes on a Linear Power Supply
              by caspian
              Dear members,

              I have a linear variable power supply with unknown brand name that I used for voltage injection.
              Then it failed. I discovered that its transistors (Q1 and Q2) are shorted.
              In addition, I discovered that its zener diodes are defective.
              I can replace the burned transistors.
              But I do not know the model of the zener diodes. the model number is not marked on the zener diodes.
              Therefore, I cannot replace the zener diodes.
              I do not want to test the zener diodes in a test circuit to discover their model or value.
              no schematics are available...

              Bmax B7 Power Mini PC interesting short diagnostic
              by csberti03
              Hi!

              I have this mini pc that doesn't want to start.
              When I plug in the charger it goes into protection mode.

              I check the input pins in resistance mode and they are not shorted.
              But in diode mode its 0.174V

              When I opened it up I saw something new, no input mosfet, just big diodes next to the charging port. I checked on the coils for shorts but didn't find anything suspicious. Only the CPU coils have low resistance but that should be normal because it's an 11th gen I7.

              I injected some voltage to find the short but the board was only...

              replacing schottky diodes on a AV power supply
              by DjKrish
              Hi guys, i have a power supply with a shorted SR320 schottky diodes which is in parallel. Only 1 shorted while another is ok. So i removed the faulty one, the power supply is working fine now. SR320 is 3A 20V. I was thinking can i remove both diodes and replace SR340 as 1 diode as it is 3A 40V? Because i dont have SR320. Or can i replace both with SR340?

              Samsung TV UN55KS8000 dead - bad diode
              by bgilmer
              I wanted to post about my successful repair of a dead Samsung TV.
              Model: UN55KS8000
              Power Supply Circuit Board Number: BN44-00878A
              Part required: SB5150 Schottky diode 150V 5A


              Symptoms:
              Powered TV on with remote control. Briefly (less than one second), saw video, then TV went dark.
              - Not working at all
              - No red LED
              - No standby power
              - Will not power on

              Attempted reboot:
              - Initially unplugged TV for about 20 seconds and plugged it back in (This has fixed this TV in the past when it was unresponsive.) Did not...

              APC BE650G2-UK surge strip UPS - not powering?
              by spleenharvester
              I bought this UPS as nonworking. Annoyingly they did not mention the battery has been removed so basically a waste of money... but it's here now so I'd might as well do something with it.

              The device shows no signs of life when connected to mains. If I connect a lab supply to the 12V battery terminals it powers up, and flashes the LED showing it is running on backup power. However when mains power is then applied it doesn't seem to do respond in any way. So presumably if I put an actual battery in there it would just make no attempt to charge it, it would discharge and then the unit...
