    sony KDL 40HX803 no backlight 4 blinks

    good morning, Sony dont like to make life easy,why feed backlights via 2 or 4 wires when you can use 60!
    yes there are 4 foils feeding 4 separate b/l edge strips via lcd drive board (the blue one in corner)
    first ,after usual checks ,i unplugged cn02 at top of t con board
    to stop the 4 blinks ,this allows main board to start and led remains green and sound comes up ,
    next i fitted link to led-on from 3.3v sby ,removed lead from plug from main board just in case and tried again ,still no b/l .
    while tv is still on i replugged cn02 and pic info is visible with test lamp ,

    ie still no b/l but pic and sound info good .
    so i think the tcon can be ruled out ?
    the psu with the forced led on link produces 24v for b/l and all other supplies good .

    now over to led drive board
    there are 4 fuses all good
    all diodes and fets test good
    all caps good esr
    theres a 3.3v supply and a 9v supply both good .
    next i opened up and checked all 4 led strips both with led tester and with d/m od diode test mode both directions to check reverse zener
    all tested good .
    ive read a couple of posts on here with similar models,but not quite same volts from psu
    i think my psu is good as it produces all correct volts when forced on with 3.3v
    ive now reached the head scratching stage ,any ideas please

    i forgot to mention ,on the reverse side of led drive board theres 4 minature 6 leg diodes marked EH4
    one measures low ohms between 2 pins compared to the others
    but cant find any info on them .
    i removed and tested it but the low resistance is on the board
    i will use a better camera to try to get a clearer picture of these
    but it may just be a red herring?

      "2510" for week 25 of 2010? Did someone at Sony think they're an American company? LMFAO!

        Re: sony KDL 40HX803 no backlight 4 blinks

        there are a number of testpoints on the reverse side of the led driver board ,
        the BL-LESS MODE is showing s/c to deck ,
        without a cct its difficult to follow print
        but there is a chip CXA 3802R ,
        data on this ic would help but cant find any data for this ic
        the board is made by samsung part number:SSL400EL-S01REV 2.0
        here are some better pics of the board

          The solder joints of DA1003 & DA1004 do not look good.

            Re: sony KDL 40HX803 no backlight 4 blinks

            I know they are extremely small
            i removed two with my solder station to check them out of cct
            and the s/c was still on the panel
            i have a very small tip on my iron, but ive ordered some that are even smaller,so i can tidy up the soldering.
            what you cant see is there is an earth connection under these ics so i had to remove to confirm it may look poor but theres no pins shorted from my soldering
            thanks for taking a look at my post

                EH4 look as though they are available from Digikey
                https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32768238252.html gives the number SP3002-04HTG
                and
                https://www.digikey.co.uk/product-de...DKR-ND/2297270
                give the pinout

                  MANY THANKS
                  looks like pin 1 s/c to ground but as mentioned earlier ,when i removed ,it was not s/c but the connection on the board still shows s/c
                  the offending pin is marked BL-LESS MODE so im hoping i can find data on micro CXA3802R ic1103 hoping there will be a pin marked BL-LESS
                  i will order new EH4 diodes as they have been removed from board with sol,station .
                  i could order a board ,
                  but find it more fun to repair down to component level if possible

                    Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                    by Tynan Dill
                    I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                    Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                    I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                    The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                    With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                    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...

                    Sony KDL-40Z4500 LCD with stripes and 9 blinks (possible BGC board or harness problem
                    by huj3r
                    Hi there!

                    I have a Sony Bravia KDL-40Z4500 which shows a colored vertical stripes pattern when turning on, with a central black shadow that slowly dissipates within the first 10 seconds.

                    Photo of the situation after the black shadow dissipates:

                    After this behavior the red LED will blink 9 times, then pause for a bit, and blink again 9 times, in a loop.

                    I checked the manual (available here) and this corresponds to "HFR error", quoting from the manual:

                    > This indicates HFR Communication error. [ HFR Communication...

                    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"...

                    Upgrading a Samsung ue55nu7096u with logic board from an ue55ru7105k -- good idea?
                    by ohren
                    I hope this is the right forum to post in despite not technically being a repair, but still a question of swapping boards.

                    I thought I'd explore the possibility to upgrade an existing working Samsung ue55nu7096u with the logic board (and power board if needed) of a newer model (ue55ru7105k) of the same size and appearance (and resolution). The reason being I'd like the extra inputs of that board including component in, an extra HDMI port and bluetooth. Its panel is broken so I have no use for the board otherwise.

                    The models launched in 2018 and 2019 respectively....
