    Re: 17PW20.1 blows fuse right away

    So are you saying the reading from the fuse to hot ground of the capacitor was 0.733K ohms = 733 ohms. You need to check the bridge rectifier. Plenty of youtube video's online to show how.

      I'm sorry but....
      I can't find any BR.
      I'm used to what they look like on pinball machines, but even on the manual, i can't spot a BR....

        It's black and rectangular with a sloping corner. Just down from the power connector to the left of one of the two big coils.

          Oh, Ok !
          Thanks Diif !
          So it's D800, then... a GBU4M...
          That's the one i was eyeing on, as it has 4 pins.

          Ok. I'll try to check it...

            Alright.
            So I tested the BR according to techniques seen on Youtube...

            So, between + and AC, I get 532
            Between + and 2nd AC, I get 540

            But then... between + and -, I should get the double, right?
            And I only get 522.

            Does that mean it's faulty?

            Do you think I should unsolder it from the board to be sure to check it correctly ?

              Test as if single diodes
              AC1 to DC+
              AC1 to DC -
              AC2 to DC+
              AC2 to DC-

                Well then I get between 420 and 460...
                four times.

                  That sounds OK
                  Can you measure the resistance from D824 to negative leg of that large capacitor (post #8) for each side of that diode. You will need to wait a few minutes after powering off the set to let the voltage on that capacito drain away.

                    What resistance reading do you get when you measure between the two legs of the main filter cap in both directions? The meter should show low resistance first the the resistance should rise as the cap charged up.
                    https://www.badcaps.net/forum/attach...4&d=1607373901
                    Btw, you did check the PFC MOSFET and the PFC Diode mounted on the heatsink right next to the main filter cap, correct?

                      Well it seems fine.

                      I'm giving up on this one.
                      It'll go for spare parts.

                      Thanks for the help, guys ! I learnt a lot !

                        by BlackScreen_22
                        Hi, I'll start by saying that I'm not an expert and I've reached a point where I don't know what to try/do anymore...
                        Starting from the beginning: I opened this subwoofer for the first time with a very strong smell of burnt electrical components, I realize that on the amplifier board there is a hole between V+ OUT and GND about the size of a finger, the damaged components were the shorted mosfets, two damaged zener diodes and two capacitors. I bought everything, I fixed the hole by cutting the pcb and putting a piece of a perforated board.
                        I had no problems connecting mosfets and capacitors,...

                        A funny fuse story – Lumix LX100 II
                        by corrize
                        Hello, I disassembled this dead camera, and found this WTF… Two fuses soldered one above the other !
                        I was pretty sure nobody touched it before, but that can't be from factory. There is flux, and capacitor is probably missing.
                        The other weird thing : the fuses are « G » fuse : (0.75A – 8V), seems very low. The original fuse should be « O » : (32V 2,5A).
                        There is « O » mark beside. All fuses have the same mark letter on main board. So, I can deduce it's a « O » fuse.
                        And this correspond to the issus I saw : when I plug the battery, I measure the voltage dropping...

                        I could have sworn I posted about this before, but I can't seem to find the post..

                        To whit..

                        I have a 60LN5400 that came in.. Backlights work fine.. No display..

                        Traced the problem to the TCON board.. Blown fuse..

                        Replaced the fuse.. Blows again.. Replaced the fuse again... This time it fries the marked part on the Main Video board...

                        Got a new Main Video Board.. Replaced the fuse on the TCON..

                        The fuse is fine and the backlights come on fine if I don't have the cellophane connectors from the TCON to the...

                        by dimis7
                        Hi all,

                        Need some advice to troubleshoot this TV.

                        PSU blow the main fuse F100, 3.15A.

                        I replace the fuse with another 3A (but not ceramic) and blows it again after few seconds when i plugged in to the wall, with nothing connected to PSU, just the power cord.

                        I checked with DMM for dead sorts but didn't found any.

                        Checked bridge rectifier and seems ok.
                        Also check main filter cap with transistor / cap / esr tester (the usual cheap transistor testers from ebay) and found ok.

                        PSU p/n is EAX64405901 (1.6)...

                        Samsung UE46ES8000 Blown fuse but no other signs of short
                        by jesterace
                        Hi I wonder if anyone might be able to steer me in the right direction. I have this Samsung UE46ES8000 TV and it went bang during use. The main fuse on the PSU board is open. I've checked every diode/mosfet/transistor I can see and nothing appears to be short to cause the fuse to go. The DC output of the bridge rectifier is not short either. I've seen online that some of these models are known for having their PFC mosfet or other mosfets shorting and blowing the fuse but i'm not seeing that here. If anyone aware of these models having any issues to cause this? I'm reluctant to just replace the...
