    Panasonic TH-L42D25A checking the PSU output voltage

    Hi Everyone, I am new to this forum. I have a Panasonic LED TV which doesnt turn on and is blinking 4 times repeatedly when I turn on the switch. The TV does not respond to the remote control so I had to turn on using the physical switch on the side of the TV. When I turn on the switch the 4 x blinking starts and repeat itself until I turn off the TV. There is a black screen. I turned off the light in the room to check the panel and I think there is no backlight as far as I can tell.

    I have been inspecting and testing the capacitors and diodes in the power supply board to try to find the problem. But no luck so far.

    Initially I had tried to use the DMM to measure the voltage of the DC output pins (called "P2" in the diagram) from the power board to the "A board" (which I understand will further regulate the DC voltage). I have attached a copy of the Panasonic troubleshooting notes that I have found on the web which outline the voltage distribution for this particular LED TV model. I believe I was not successful in testing the voltage because the pins were very narrow and the leads from my DMM could not accurately touch the specific pins of the voltage output. From the few pins that I had tried, they all turn out to be nil voltage, which is strange because I am still getting the 4 blinks which presumably means there should be some DC output coming out of the power board, is that right?

    When I was doing the voltage testing, I placed the black lead (from DMM) to one of the holes in the metal plates behind the circuit boards and let it hang there. Is this the right approach? Are these holes appropriate for "ground". I have seen some youtube videos showing that the black lead should touch the "ground" pin in whatever that I was checking, and I had tried that as well but there were still no voltage in the output pins.

    Also, while I was testing the voltage on the pins, there were few instances when the TV will restart itself as if I had physically turn on the switch again. Does anyone knows why this happens? How does me checking the voltage on the output pins will make the TV restart and turn on again? I am very conscious of the fact that there is high voltage involved in the power board so I had been very careful in not touching anything other than using the leads on the DMM.

    Sorry for the long post, but I was hoping someone can have a look at the attached notes on voltage distribution and let me know what is the proper way to check the voltage output and whether the results can then narrow down the cause of the problem. In case it is also useful, I have found and also attached a schematic of the power board, but the schematic doesnt show details of the component, so there is no way of knowing the values of the various components, eg. resistance, capacitance etc.

    Thank you for your help!

    Look for a 12v voltage problem.

      Thanks! I will focus on the 12V output.

        Cyberpower 1500AVR UPS repair
        by quickname
        I'd like to start out by thanking this forum for providing the info to be able to repair my 15 year old CP1500AVRLCD UPS. Here is all the info I gathered during my trouble-shooting and re-capping.

        Like clockwork, I've had to replace the SLA batteries every 4 years. It was about that time and the UPS was acting like it needed new batteries... randomly shutting off with AC present, not being able to charge fully, and poor runtime when AC was removed. So, I replaced the batteries but noticed that it was not charging properly.

        I decided to verify that the batteries were...

        NM-D521 rev. 2.0 output voltage on CPU coils seemingly low
        by David Miteff
        Hello, guys!
        As the title says - the board is NM-D521, on the input of the CPU coils I read 1.2-1.3V, which should be normal, but on the output I read around 0.6-0.8V. The laptop bootloops with no picture.
        As of right now I don't have a thermal camera, so I can't confirm a shorted or partially shorted CPU chip. Do you have any other suggestions as of why the output voltage might drop like that?...

        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.

        Assuming...

        Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ARH05 not charging after repair
        by Cysko
        Hello everybody,
        One of my friends brought me his brother's laptop to repair, I'm the third person who put the hands on this laptop (he tried to convince his brother to take it to me for the ram upgrade, dust cleanup and thermal paste replacement but he wanted to make it to his university friend... sorry if I say that, but we saw the result).
        The laptop is a Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ARH05 with AMD Ryzen CPU and Nvidia GPU.

        I'm going to give a quick recap of what happened before I got this laptop for repair to make clear the situation.

        A friend of his brother...

        MT3608 Step-Up Converter IC Datasheet
        by Document Archive
        The MT3608 is a constant frequency, 6-pin SOT23 current mode step-up converter intended for small, low power applications. The MT3608 switches at 1.2MHz and allows the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and inductors 2mm or less in height.

        Internal soft-start results in small inrush current and extends battery life.

        The MT3608 features automatic shifting to pulse frequency modulation mode at light loads. The MT3608 includes under-voltage lockout, current limiting, and thermal overload protection to prevent damage in the event of an output overload. The MT3608 is available...
