    Re: Element elefw605 power issue maybe?

    It does'nt look like there are any problems on your board, I think they had a cap that was shorted or close to being shorted. You can't really rely on resistance checks, there are caps and resistors etc. in the path that can effect the readings.
    without a schematic or good clear view of the traces I don't know how to trace down the fault.

        5v .45k
        5v .45k
        PS_ON 20k
        5vsb 20k
        12v 1k

        the ps_on and 5vsb are weird. they start in the millions and they just keep going down or they start in the thousands and keep rising. the other ones are stable and dont move.
        The TV of OP in that link uses completely different boards than you TV, OP's TV in that link uses PHILIP/MANAVOX/EMERSON boards which are know for having shorted out caps on the main board.

          Yeah i noticed that. But i figured the resistance check might help anyways.

          Im not really sure what the next move could be..i did notice if you look in the right under the power plug on the main it has two test points that say 5v and 12v. 12v is there. 5v shows nothing but im positive its there on the pboard

          On the back theres more test points. A 3.3v and a 1.8v both are there

                I tried to trace the 5vsb pin back but I can't make out the traces.

                If you disconnect the main board from the power supply the 5vsb reads 5 volts correct?
                If it does try loading the 5vsb with a ~20Ω resistor that would draw 250ma, it should supply that no problem and the 5 volts should stay up. if it does try ~10Ω as a load.

                  Yeah thats pretty unfortunate. im not a great photographer by any metric. And my phones camera isnt the best. i dont think i could get it down to the traces without horrible glare or blurriness

                    Too bad the bottom side picture of the power supply board to too blur.
                    So please connect everything back up and check the Voltages on test points A ~ E against cold side circuit ground.
                    BTW, please also report the Voltage on the PS-ON pin (CN3 pin 5) again.

                        They are what I expected.
                        OK, now check the Voltage on CN3 pin 6 (+5VSB) and tell me what you get.
                        Then disconnect AC from the TV then check the resistance between point A and CN 3 pin 6 (+5VSB).

                          Yeah im realizing now i must have been one off on the pinout like you were saying. Thats 100% my bad :/

                          the 5vsb is 5.20

                          the resistances between 5vsb and pin A is .01

                            That is what I thought because no way to have PS-ON signal higher Voltage than the Standby Voltage as explained earlier in post #26, there is nothing wrong with the 5VSB at all. When something does not make logical sense that is when it is need to be verified. Too bad we had to spend 28 threads to prove that there is no problem with standby Voltage.
                            Point A is the +5VSTBY.
                            So back to then main board, try cooling the EEPROM the apply AC to the TV and see what happen.

                              Ill try that and sorry for the confusion.

                              So what ive learned so far is there seems to be no fault on the power board. When the TV is plugged in it immediately sends that ps on signal. Does that mean it immediately tries to turn on? Thats what ive kinda been thinking

                                As I explained earlier in post #30, If the TV is on and running if you pull the power cord and then plug it back in, the TV will come back on because it will remember the last state before losing power, that what most TV will do. At this point, the power supply/LED driver board is getting the PS-ON but not the BL-ON and Dim control signals to turn the backlights on.

At this point, the power supply/LED driver board is getting the PS-ON but not the BL-ON and Dim control signals to turn the backlights on.
                                  So is that something that would be symptomatic of an eeprom? the BL-ON doesnt ever seem to change.

                                      I did read it. none of those symptoms really fit. The TVs power supply may think its on but the indicator lights dont show it to be on. If i hold a flashlight to it, theres no picture or anything.

                                          I"ve replaced the eeprom on a few tvs (one Haier and one Element) with that same main processor. One started with freezing and the other didn"t. Both started after replacement of the eeprom with a preprogrammed one available online for that model. If you dont have the skills or tools to replace it, get a new main board.

                                            Hi all,

                                            TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


                                            I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

                                            A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

                                            Acer Spin 1 SP111-33 Power-On Issue (Troubleshooting Assistance)
                                            by justice171
                                            I am seeking guidance on an Acer Spin 1 SP111-33 that does not turn on when pressing the power button.

                                            Below are the observations and troubleshooting steps I have taken so far: Observations and Tests:
                                            1. Verified that all critical voltages are present:
                                              • 3.3V and 5V are always present if DC is plugged.
                                              • 1.8V on the BIOS chip is present.
                                            2. Checked the power button functionality:
                                              • When pressed, the voltage drops to 0V, indicating the button is functional.
                                            3. Inspected the flex cable connecting the USB, audio, and power button to JUB1:
                                              • Confirmed connectivity is intact, ruling out issues
                                            ...

                                            hi guys, my motherboard will not start no matter what
                                            when connected to ac power, the battery does get charge, led indicator glows red when discharged and turns white as it is fully charged.
                                            but rest nothing happens no sign of life.

                                            this laptop has one preexisting usbc power issue - so i use DCIN jack for charging my laptop.
                                            with this issue my laptop was unable to power ON only sometimes i just had to wait some time.
                                            but now nothing happens no matter how much i wait/ charge/ press and hold power button.

                                            i have no knowledge of motherboards ....

                                            This one's a weird one, and still unsolved despite it having gone back to Dell once.

                                            Specs

                                            i7-8750H, GTX 1060 Max Q, 500GB SSD & Seagate 7mm 1TB HDD. 17.3 IPS screen. This has the fingerprint reader in the power button.

                                            Backstory

                                            I bought this from eBay, from a wallpapering shop. £650 in 2020 which was a good price considering it's a gaming laptop. Physically it's in perfect shape, apart from the hinge mounts on the palmrest failing in the time I've had it (I have a new palmrest for it). The usual thin plastic crap modern build quality!...

                                            Hi everyone,

                                            I am trying to fix a samsung washinmachine power supply main board.
                                            I already replaced it with another one to fix the machine but i want to try understand the issue with the old board.
                                            Therefore i hope to be able to get some help to explain what to check in order to troubleshoot.
                                            The power supply board reference is the following: DC41-00189a
                                            I have followed one thread (https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...ingmachine-rel...
