    Magnavox 32" LCD TV Troubleshooting

    Hey.

    I am trying to repair a Magnavox 32" LCD TV. When I turn it on the backlights flash on for about a tenth of a second. I opened up the panel and checked the backlights. One was broken and I replaced it. However, nothing changed and I believe I may have broken the backlight while trying to open the lcd. I have checked the inverter board for power and the ON signal. It has both, as well as 5v at the inverter ic VCC pin. All of the transformers seem to check out fine, 2 bars on a flyback tester. However, one transformer has a slightly higher resistance (1.78k instead of 1.35k) in one secondary winding. Any suggestions as to what to do next?

    Thanks.

    Ps. I get an interesting result if I unplug one set of backlights from the board and then turn on the tv. The backlights stay on for about 1 sec instead of a tenth.

    Sony XR-55A80J OLED TV 5 blinks - Troubleshooting steps
    by jason123
    Hi there,
    I see a couple of posts related to the troubleshooting of similar TV. The one I have is acting slightly differently and I'd love your help.

    So it has the 5 blinks. Previous owner got a TCON, no luck. Got a new Main board (though he didn't do the USB firmware update), again, no improvements.

    I see 2 posts that are relevant:

    Vizio E701i-A3 backlight only and now no backlight
    by Awsmessymail
    Hello all,
    I’ve tried to repair TVs in the past with some luck. Toms repair manuals got taken down and now thats a bit harder.
    I picked this TV up hoping for a quick fix. When the TV would power on, only the backlights would come on. The owner told me they heard loud screeching before it shut off. This alone makes me want to think the main board has an issue.
    As I researched, I found the TCON/driver boards were an issue on this unit. I went in troubleshooting the TCON but found good voltages on the TCON. I followed shop jimmys guide to test the transistors and they seem okay....

    Samsung UE48H6410 replaced Mainboard but backlights doesnt go on
    by max789
    Hello, I have a problem with my Samsung UE48H6410SSXZG with the main board BN41-02156A and the power board BN44-00709A. Everything seemed like this, the TV could no longer be switched on, the standby LED always flashed 5x2 times. Backlight was off and no sound from TV. Also made the flashlight test and there was no picture.

    I made the following tests:
    1. Disconnected the main board from Power Board = backlight works.
    2. Connected the main board and disconnected the T-Con = backlights does not work.

    So I ordered a main board from Ebay also BN41-02156A but from...

    practical courses for troubleshooting pc motherboards
    by blues_spirit
    Hello from France,
    mon2 kindly advised me to post a thread to ask the question(s) I'm concerned about. I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for practical courses for troubleshooting pc motherboards especially laptops in Europe, if possible in France. I have been a computer network system administrator and a corrector of administration modules for automated programs under Unix. But I really miss the practical "ops" side of troubleshooting. So I would like to start from the beginning: 1.8V, 3.3V, 5V and 19V tests for example, etc...
    Do you think this is feasible for me? I...
