    panasonic 40CX400 flickering backlight after psu repair

    hello,

    this one makes me mad
    got a pana 40CX400 that came with led blinking issue, no start , no backlight
    after inspection , Q502 short, replace it but no more
    so replace MPS3394
    then when plug in all 1R00 resistor between Q502 and ground blowned, Q502 too

    find that diode between MPS3394 and Q502 was defective

    so replace all 1R00 resistor, Q502 and replace diode with 2R2 resistor as it is on many other 17IPS20 board

    now, no blown thing !! yes !!

    but backlight flickers , it start for one second then off, then on one second ....

    what can cause that ? do you already seen that ?

    thx

      hello,

      some news, got one (??!!) led blown
      so replace it, now the backlight is ok

      but....

      i can't rise the backlight, it always stays at the same intensity. can't rise or down it on menu : can go from 0 to 100 percent , but no change on the tv, and the backlight is very low.

      i have checked pw_dimming and it is at 2.6V , on MP3394 schematics it says it goes from 0.6 to 1.6v, but can't understand why at 2.6 it is very low...

      the resistance between pwdimming and mp3394 seems good : 1kohm

      maybe a motherboard issue ?? do you know what can i check for now ?

      thank you

          Was there any input at the selected source when you adjusted the backlight? I know this is a thing for some LGs, never tested on a Panasonic, eco mode may interfere with it too.

              hello

              yes test with input on hdmi, not any change at all.

              i want to test with direct input on 3rd pin of mp3394 but i have to find a correct voltage on board first, as this i will maybe be able to see if it is a regulator issue or a pw_dimmin problem.

                  What voltages do you have on Pins 15 (VCC) and Pin 16 (VCC) of the MP3394

                  I would not have considered replacing a diode with a resistor since they have completely different properties

                      TongFang GK5CN5Z (CyberPowerPC Tracer III Xtreme) LCD backlight flickering
                      by k24a1
                      Hello, I have a strange issue with a laptop that I'm working on fixing up for a friend of mine, and it appears as though the LCD backlight control is not reliable. The LCD backlight flickers sometimes with inconsistent brightness. The controls are no better.. when I go 1/3 of the way in the brightness controls it will get bright but flicker quite obviously, and when I go all the way to what SHOULD be full brightness, it becomes darker. The flickering is less severe at lower brightness, but more severe at higher. the backlight will literally flicker on and off when I set it to the lowest brightness...

                      Panasonic LED TV TC-40A420U - Replaced Backlight LEDs but now no image/display or garbled
                      by signal.quest
                      I have a Panasonic LED TV TC-40A420U. The TV was given to me as an attempt to fix or throw out. I replaced the Backlight LEDs and now the screen lights up, but there is no image/display. If I play with the up/down buttons I can get the display to change from black to garbled. I can't get sound from HDMI but not sure of what input is selected. I have no remote control. When I connect a laptop to the HDMI ports it recognizes a Panasonic TV for display and sound output but I can't see or hear anything through the TV. This makes me think the mainboard is OK, but not sure if mainboard can...

                      Samsung LE52B620 - Flickering backlight
                      by sliceypete
                      Hello All,

                      My Samsung LE52B620 started to have backlight flickering about a year ago, it would only last for about 10 mins and then the backlight would stay on.

                      about a month ago the backlight flickering is constant and does not stop.

                      I think it's a problem with the power supply board (BN44-00267b) or maybe the backlight is dying?

                      I checked and all the caps look to be fine.

                      I do not believe it is a problem with the mainboard, since I unplugged it from the power supply and the backlight came out but still flickers.

                      this tv is throwing me for a loop. do samsung tvs no longer have the backlight self test feature built into the power supply?
                      i tested the backlight with my LED tester and it lights up both strips. one of them reads 100v and the other reads 63.7v.
                      unplugged mainboard from power supply but left backlight plugged in, and then plugged psu wall power in. expected to see backlights light up but see nothing.
                      according to how ive diagnosed in the past, this would almost always be a bad power supply. replacement power supply was cheap like 20$ from ebay. but still i get not even...

                      by EffiSon
                      Hi. Could anyone on the forum help me find the cause of the problem?
                      The board is LA-B111P Rev:1A comes from Lenovo Y50-70.

                      I have a identified the damaged R205 resistor, and connect a jump wire over it So it restores the backlight but causing strange problems

                      1. With Battery ONLY plugged in laptop works fine
                      2 .With Charger ONLY plugged in laptop works fine as well

                      3. Connecting both battery and charger at the same time shows a strange flickering screen. The flickering is not constant, it is completely random (and I think it depends on the load
