    Sharp LC-32D44U - Power and OPC lights flashing

    Hello everyone, so the problem is the tv would seem to power up when i hit the power button as i would hear a relay click, sometimes it may give me a good picture for about 5 secs or so, sometimes i get a black screen, then shortly after it will click back off and i get power and opc lights flashing together twice followed by one flash of the opc light then it repeats.
    Please correct me if i'm wrong but i understand the flash sequence indicates a possible power supply problem, can anyone say if this is accurate information? So going on that i went ahead and tried a factory reset, checked all caps,checked for any loose soldering and finally tried replacing tny274(someone suggested i try this) - same problem.
    I have a strong steady 5v as the flash sequence is going on, absolutely no other voltages on any of the other pins/connectors.
    I would appreciate anyone's suggestion on what it could be, going on the info i gave, if it could be power supply, mainboard or some issue with the ccfl lamps, yeah, it's an old tv.

    The tnyxxx ic should be the standby ic so that should not cause the problem, You say you never get any voltage on any of the connector pins, If you have 5v standby and you press the power button you should see the PS_ON voltage go high (3~5v)

    Make sure you have all the screws in the inverter/ps board, sometimes if the grounds are not good it can cause a error.
    The error seems to point to the 13v section on the power supply, but without the PS_ON signal that section won't be turned on.

      It seems the voltages ( including the 13v ) momentarily appear then fade's away, as it goes into the flashing sequence but i will double check the ps_on voltage as i power it up - if it comes up and then goes away could i assume this is where i should focus on? Thank you for your reply.

        So i managed to check the PS_ON voltage, it is present at 3.05v also i get a steady 13v, at this point the picture comes on and then all of a sudden within 5-10 secs the set clicks off and the flashing sequence gets going, the only voltage that remains is the 5v, if i hit the power button again the process repeats..

        All grounds tightly secured and in place.

          The power supply PS_ON signal turns on the power supply producing 13v but also produces voltage to the inverter section, and all these voltages are monitored and can shut down the power supply.
          It could be a bad ccfl in the panel?

            So there might be the possibility of the inverter section causing the shutdown, i would need to check there for the problem? sounds like i might also be looking at the chance of the CCFL backlight having some issue

            Sorry i didn't see your last reply before i responded
            Yeah i feel you're pointing me in the right direction R_J Thanks.

              Sharp LC-C4655U Flashing OPC and Power lights.
              by berrmich
              I have the above TV. Black screen. Power blinks 2 times. OPC blinks once. Plug in with channeldown/volup. Powers up with solid green power but no light. I removed, cleaned and tightened the screwed on the inverters. I tested plug coming from the power supply to the inverter board when unplugged. INV12V shows 7.4 V DC. INV60V shows 0.1 or something like that. After plugging in the cable I don't get meaningful voltage from either one. (I measured after booting the TV with channeldown/volup.)

              Is this a bad power supply? Or am I measuring something wrong.

              Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
              by PantherDave
              Hi all!

              I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

              I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

              Elitebooks (820, 840 etc. all gens) and those continuously flashing Power LED + flashing CapsLock LED
              by STKR123
              As the Elitebooks (820, 840 all gens) only show flashing Power LED and flashing CapsLock (continuously) + a very soft "ticking" noise near the DC Jack,
              I wonder if re-flashing the BIOS might be of any use here.

              As far as I understood, steady flashing either means insufficient power or a CPU/GPU/Motherboard issue. I use the original 65watt power supply.

              There are so many threads out there, but most of the solutions involve flashing codes, which I dont have or claim that you MUST use the original power supply, do a hard reset, reseat the RAM, clean the RAM,...

              Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue
              by GLISIT
              Hi all,

              TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


              I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

              A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

              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...
