    Sony 4k TV XE8004 series backlight main board issue

    Hi folks another doozie here,

    Got this TV on my table this week and at first suspected a simple failing LED on the back lights as symptoms where backlight coming on at power up and within a few minutes flickering then failing other than that TV works fine.

    This set is side lit and noted sometimes the flickering would start right away even during boot, after testing found backlights + inverter good. To cut a long story short found that applying pressure to specific spot on mainboard heatsink caused backlights to come on or off and even moving chasis about caused this other than that the TV works fine!

    Initially thought a short to chasis or maybe bad cable between MB and PSU but lifted mainboard up and found pinching with fingers between back of board and heatsink in specific spot caused the lights to come on as pressure applied.. There is nothing really under the heatsink in this spot certainly nothing touching the heatsink and so wondered if CPU was needing reball, tried that and now have killed the backlights totally lol but the mainboard still works fine just mainboard appearing to not be sending the on signal.



    Any takes on this mystery i really could use the pin outs for the mainboard at least to id the inverter on signal, schematic would be awsome is it about anywhere?

    Cheers in advance CJ

    Sounds like a typical BGA problem on the large ic, Did you actually remove and reball the ic? or just heat it up.

      Hi thanks for reply, did some local heating with hot air carefully in attempt to reflow i think i said reball in op but got those two concepts mixed up and that totally killed the backlights anyway so havent removed the IC that would be the next step I guess and a first for me but im here to learn, might try another reflow before i do reball :-)

      Last night i had a good look at the power distribution board im trying to determine the way the inverter is controlled to trace back the signal but as you say its sounding like the main IC and its sort of annoying that its just the backlight control signal that seems affected the mb still works but not stress tested.

      i noted the inverter has 2 x 6 channel IC led controller BD9423EFV with the backlights being 64 led's split up into groups of 8, 2 of them IC's makes sense hoping the data sheet will show the control pin of the LED IC and can follow it back from these chips to the power connector CN3000 and from there onto the MB for what its worth.

        Ok had good result today the TV is up and running very well... I found the right pin to switch backlights on without any invasive action this will run the TV until or if the Mainboard does die but it has no other faults detected so far. See photo for solution, no backlight on signal from main IC so on power distribution board LD1 connected 1K resistor between Power up signal and backlight signal on CN3000 connector and it works a treat but not for the purists lol do it at your own risk i had to follow it all back carefully using datasheets the works to be sure.

          I guess that will work, only problem is if the original intermitint connection fixes itself again, the resistor feeding voltage back to the control ic could damage it.
          These can be multi layer boards, so if its not a bga fault it could be a cracked feedthru from one trace to the other.

            The wire into pin 1 controlling backlights has been removed from the connector block and taped back just in case and did wonder about the multilayer board if something had gone OC. Didnt see point in attempting reball when everything else was ok if MB fails in time it can be replaced at that time and resistor removed no hassle.

            Have run the set for 12 hours straight and apart from not connecting to wifi for a a few minutes (now working stable) it all works really nice and cracking image indeed its first Sony 4K i worked on like best image i seen yet but im usually sniffing around budget stuff. Was surpised to see things like spades not having covers on and such in the Sony thought that was a but cheapo even Vestel can manage that lol and yeah multilayer board is an ass to trace back but good learning tho cheers....

            This LD1 power distribution board uses two 6 channel BD9423EFV IC which is a boost driver for the led backlights, found pin 17 the STB signal actually switches the N channel MOSFETs that bring backlights up by giving a ground to the backlights, two mosfets one for each chip and pin 21 pwm mastr slave setting both chips connected this pin togethor and this is what the motherboard talks to bring pin 17 on or off. Pin 21 needs at least 1.5v for backlights on according to datasheet and MB here was sending around 1V. Max is 20v so 3v all good. did consider tracing it back on the MB to but maybe thats for another rainy day.

              If it is working that way then that's good. cheap repair.

                Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
                by jb_Bak
                Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

                Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
                Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
                CN6401
                Pin 01 NC
                Pin 02 NC
                Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
                Pin 04 "N/C"
                Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
                Pin 06 "GND": N/C
                Pin 07 "AC_OFF"...

                Sceptre U550CV-UMR 4K LED, Bad Caps on Main Power Board?
                by Dani_2024
                Hi and thanks in advance for any input you might provide!
                I have a Sceptre U550CV-UMRD8POTV83BB 4K LED (this is a dumb tv) that I bought new in August 2021, so It's just completed 3 years.
                Main power board model: TP.MS3683.PC821 T-Con board: N4TP546UHDPU2L_BO

                Last Sunday I was watching a dvd and fell asleep for about half hour, when I awoke the tv screen was black and couldn't get the dvd menu to show, so I changed the input to antenna and had sound but no picture, turned it off. I then got online and found this great site! ....read many troubleshooting tips and this...

                (SOLVED) - ONN 100012588 No Power, Then Rebooting After Main Board Change

                ONN 100012588
                Issue: No Power, Then Rebooting After Main Board Change

                Short answer: replace main board and power board
                Technical answer: replace main board and Q306 & Q307 on power board.

                Long answer:

                TV wouldn't turn on. Power switch was fine which means the main board isn't processing the power on signal. Replaced main board. TV turns on now but randomly reboots. Bad main board? EEPROM? Tried to pull main board and got a shock touching the corner of the board. That's weird. C334 (450V 10uf) capacitor is still holding a high charge....

                by m1ch43lzm
                Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
                Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

                Is it possible to upgrade from a Vestel 17MB97 main board to a 17MB110 Main board?
                by cheeky2
                I suppose the real question is whether the existing pinouts from ether a 17IPS71 psu are cross compatible with a 17IPS12 psu? If they are then the exchange of the main boards should have no issues providing the screen is compatible with both main boards. Obviously you can change the screen configurations easily enough (providing you have the correct files) for the main board. Why may you ask would I do this? Well a lot of the smart features are no longer working on a Hitachi 48HBT62U main board I wish to give it a new lease of life!
                Obviously the same LVDS connector for the screen connection...
