  • Re: Lg 60pz250n-zb

    I'm going to invest in a soldering station and some resistors, and I will post here again once I've performed the tests suggested.

    Also, as the solder is wouldn't melt with my 30W soldering iron, I'm curious what solder I should repair my board with. Any tips?
    Also, what is dead solder?

    Yes, I am sure. I shorted the M5 with Va using my positive test lead of my DMM.
    I'm quite sure the negative lead was grounded as I was testing voltages....

    Indeed each of the three rings have a ring on one joint.
    Bad in what sense?
    I'm going to re-solder those joints now.

    Edit: turns out my soldering iron wont go hot enough for that....

    Since I don't have any resistors at the moment I can't run Andrews tests.
    Having all boards disconnected, including Ctrl Bd, I tested M5V on J54.
    With no load it read 7.3V.

    I can't find Q353, and I can't find a schematic for my board in order to locate it. Could you highlight on the board where I might find it?
    I searched for zener diodes to help me locate Q353 to no avail.
    Only ZD101 and Q101 were next to each other, and ZD101 is the only zener diode I can find.

    F302 is fine.

    I see.
    Well when running only the PSU (no other boards connected) the PSU will not go into protect mode. Perhaps the voltage climbs due to no load. I don't know.

    To be clear: Vs and Va were both off by about 1V prior to testing, so I fixed that. I then shorted M5V and Va while testing the voltages on the power input of the Ysus bd.

    1) Should I leave Zsus bd plugged in?
    2) Should I leave ctrl bd plugged in?

    I need to get my hands on some resistors before I can do this.


    Here is an...

    As I've mentioned, the pots no longer help lower the voltages. The Vs and Va pots are on minimum. Vs rises until a peak of 256V

    Besides that, I'm curious as to why I should use 120Vac lightbulbs and apply 120Vac to the PSU, since we use 230Vac in Sweden..
    If I should use our mains line voltage (230Vac) instead, should I still do two 230Vac lightbulbs in series?...

    Here are some photos of the PSU and connectors along with an overview shot of all the boards.

    I'm not sure which is the Asus board. I only see the Ysus and Zsus boards.

    Thanks for the response!

    Any pointers would be appreciated, even if it's pointing me in the direction of giving up.

  • Re: Lg 60pz250n-zb

    I suspect the power supply might be done for.
    I disconnected all the boards, and the voltage on Vs keeps going up even though the pot is set to minimum...

  • Re: Lg 60pz250n-zb

    After plugging in the AC cord again to do some testing, i found that Va and Vs was lower than I'd left it. After adjusting to the correct value I heard a click from the PSU and the voltage was steadily dropping.

    I could sure use some help here

    ---------

    So, as it turns out, I can't set Va/Vs to the correct values. Va=55 and Vs=201.
    Vs is currently at 210 and wont go under 208 as I lower the pot. It just ends up shutting off the TV, which is the click I heard.

    started a topic Lg 60pz250n-zb

    Lg 60pz250n-zb

    I'll start off with saying that I'm very new to tv-repairs.
    With that said, I have an LG 60PZ250N-ZB in my home, which I happened to find in the garbage room.

    The TV worked just fine, but I noticed some grainy noise, going mainly horizontally across the screen, in certain lighting. Could be bright or dark, mostly bright.

    After some searching I figured it could be what's known as "mal discharge" so I got myself some documentation from LG for this.

    Then I found this site, and Topcat wrote about the "sparklies".

    I decided...

  • Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

    Hello everyone! I'm quite glad I found this place.
    Anywho, a bit about myself.

    I love tinkering with things, and aim to learn more as I break things along the way.
    The plan is to get a degree as an electrical engineer so that I can pursue my goal of understanding how things work on a base level.

    Alot of my time is spent on forums and youtube, passively learning how things work.
    But my knowledge is limited when it comes to electronics, so here I am.
