Re: Affinity LE-3252 LCD TV very hard to turn on - EEPROM maybe?

Yup... I had tried that too... NO dice...

Thanks!

Re: Affinity LE-3252 LCD TV very hard to turn on - EEPROM maybe?

Guess I'm SOL... Can't believe this board (.P83) is the odd man out. It failed a cpl mos before it turned 2 yrs old. I guess that's the life of these cheapo sets! I wish a board like this wold work:

No, unfortunately they wouldn't. These boards are very specific and don't tend to sub for one another. To continue looking you're going to want to verify two numbers...

Re: Affinity LE-3252 LCD TV very hard to turn on - EEPROM maybe?

Yes, I heated up the whole p.s. area...

Re: Affinity LE-3252 LCD TV very hard to turn on - EEPROM maybe?

The black cap in the upper left corner of the p.s. is a 47uF/50V, CapXon brand and 105°C rated. Same for the orange one (10uF/50V).

Haven't heard from SJ yet. We'll see...

Have taken the board completely out of the unit to check the back twice. It looks ok. The connectors/crimps contacts are good. I wiggled all wires/connectors, incl the black TCON one on the right) with no results.

The IR detector works fine. It has 5V going in and it pulses out fine when I use the remote on...

Re: Affinity LE-3252 LCD TV very hard to turn on - EEPROM maybe?

Rectified voltage was 162V at caps in standby. When on it was 156V. They are in parallel and are 56uF/400V each. I was only able to get it to turn on 3 times in a period of about 3 hours last nite. I could not get it to turn on at all today...

The vregs were all the same, standby or on.

The small orange primary hot cap is 10uF/50V. Uploaded a bunch of pics where you can see the the caps up close, EEPROM (UF11), the whole set, TCON and speakers.

Thanks again selldoor!

Hi all,
I have a friend's Affinity LE-3252 LCD TV that doesn't power on, only when it wants to. Like on the 50th repeated try with the button or remote. It does have the red standby LED which goes green when it finally decides to turn on. Everything works great when on. HDMI worked fine with a chromecast on it. Audio ok. All buttons work on the panel and remote and it turns off fine too. But then it's another 50-100 tries to get it to turn on again.

When in standby mode, all 4 vregs chk ok with same voltages as in this post. 3.3, 2.5, 1.8 and 3.3V:
