    RCA LED52B45RQ power on issue

    I have an RCA LED52B45RQ television. Does not turn on, but if I unplug it for 10 seconds or so and plug it back in it will power up after a few tries. Any ideas? Has a RE46HQ1350 power supply board. Thanks

    Do test in number 3 below, video demo in number 2 if needed, can you post some nice clear pictures of all the boards and one of how they are all connected?

      this is a photo of the main in bus to the power board, three 5v positives, which are we testing?

        All 13 pins with cable hooked up, see the map/legend of the pin names and expected voltages beside it, report those in standby which is tv off but power cord plugged in, also report voltages when you hit power.

          I tested all pins in three states. With the TV plugged in, TV plugged in after hitting power on but the screen and speaker fail to activate, and finally after cycling a couple of time and the screen and speakers coming on.

          Also noticed that if the TV comes fully on when I turn it back off the voltages return to the "just plugged in stage". If I hit power and the screen fails to come up when I hit power buttons, voltages come up but remain strong when attempting to power it back off.

            Those voltages look pretty good, if I understand it comes on, when it does if you can go into the menu and turn the backlights (not brightness) way down, then see if it acts any different, can also try unplug tv from power and hold down the power or standby button on the tv (not remote) for about 30 seconds then plug it back in and try it, did you try a factory reset and firmware update?

              As always BE VERY CAREFUL working with the powerboard the HOT/PRIMARY side has DEADLY VOLTAGES.

                Re: RCA LED52B45RQ power on issue

                First, thank you so much for helping so much thus far. I got it put back together and after a few times unplugging and plugging back in I got the screen up and running as normal. Tried to unplug and hold power button for 30 sec with no luck and can find no menu option to control backlight. The firmware is proving difficult to find online so that will take a minute. And I am not sure how to facilitate a factory reset (I did find a reset all in the menu options but it didn't seam to do anything). Will spend some time on the net to figure out how to accomplish these tasks and get back to you. Thanks again

                  Go to All Reset and press enter, make sure Audio Only is off or you will get voice but no picture.

                    RCA seems a little strange, I was looking for firmware, got this page. I guess they want you to call them, about all I see is a phone number: https://www.rca.com/us_en/television...port-396-us-en

                      from what I gather the RCA brand has been owned by a few different companies over the years and you need to find out which one built the tv in question to get the right firmware. I will call the number and see what is up there.

                        Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue
                        by GLISIT
                        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 ....

                        Dell G3 17 3779 Weird power cycling and shutdown/restart issue
                        by SuperJames
                        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!...

                        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...
