Re: Sony Bravia KDL-46VE5 Repair Help/Service Manual Power-On Click

Thanks for the suggestions. I have the schematics/service manual now if anyone needs. @cyberhack can you tell me which cap you think is bad? I didn't see anything bulging/leaking, and I will have to desolder them to check as I only have an out-of-circuit ESR tester.

I also don't want a fire hazard, and I believe the problem is likely on the IP3N main power board because otherwise the display functions perfectly with no evidence of any backlight issues. Brightness is smooth and even across the display,...

Thank you, I did confirm that I can adjust the backlight through the menu and I can see a difference. Perhaps there would be more "variation" of brightness in a normal set? I can also see a difference when I cycle through VIVID, STANDARD, CINEMA, CUSTOM modes in picture. If there is a bad CCFL tube in the set, I am also not noticing it through the screen....

So I opened it up, went to test some voltages and unplugged the cable (9-pin) that goes from Power supply to the Inverter/Balancer board. The cable is labelled with pins:

HEATER-ON
FB
GND

VCC-12V

Re: Samsung LN52B750U1FXZA - Standby Light - No Other Power

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum but I have the exact same issue with a Samsung LN46B610A5FXZC. The power supply board is: BN44-00265B, and the logic board is BN41-01149B.

My main issue is the TV has the standby light on but fails to power on. I get no response from the "touch-sensitive" buttons along the side front of the TV (around the standby light). I do not have a remote but I tried a number of universals and they did nothing either (the standby light didn't even blink)....
