Re: Sceptre X32GV-Komodo Turns on but then turns back off, after logo, with some flic
Just want to make it clear that the original kit I purchased did fix the issue.

Re: Sceptre X32GV-Komodo Turns on but then turns back off, after logo, with some flic
Oh Man,
That worked!
Thank you Budm, now allow me to explain why this is hilarious and why I feel seriously stupid right now.
I thought I had replaced those capacitors, and in fact I had replaced one of them, the fatter one 50v 100uf. However the smaller one 50v 1uf, which had no signs of damage physically, i didn't replace apparently, and then I looked through my old pile of capacitors next to the tv and found the capacitor from the kit I was supposed to replace...Leave a comment:

Hello Budm, johnboy1313,
I bought a new CEN-TECH multimeter at harbor freight for 20 bucks. I put everything back together and I did the following.
1. Clipped ground to the chassis, and put the positive lead on the 5v line.
2. I plugged in the TV, for the first 2 seconds, I get 5V DC, then it falls down to 2V DC, and slowly continues to decline after that.
3. If I hit the power button at that moment, it will power up, the line will read 5V...Leave a comment:

OK, I don't have a multimeter, I tried to buy a Fluke 87v yesterday at Fry's, but they were out of stock. Ill get one, and will reply back here when i can do what you have requested. Do you recommend any particular multi-meter? Also thank you so much for the help, you have no idea how much I appreciate it!

Hello Everyone,
I have done as Budm has suggested and disconnected the power cable between the inverter and the power supply.
When I try to power it on, the LED power light comes on, and after a few moments flickers and then goes out.
Attached are some pictures of everything as was requested:
Back of TV opened
Power supply
Main board
Inverter Board
I am still learning...Last edited by guyonphone; 08-01-2013, 10:15 PM.Leave a comment:

Hey Everyone,
I appreciate the recommendations. Tonight when I get home I will take high-res photos of the back of the TV. I apologize for not doing that already. I will also try budm's suggestion of removing the cable from the power inverter to see if I still have a flickering issue on the power LED.
One other thing (and I know this is super lame) but I don't yet have a multi-meter. That doesn't mean I'm not serious about fixing it however, I will be buying one...Leave a comment:

Re: Panisonic 42inch TCP42S30 not working!!
Hello Waggy,
Have you opened up the back and checked the power supply for bulging/leaking capacitors, that's where I would start.Leave a comment:

Hello Everyone,
I examined the TV further and upon startup, I noticed that the LCD power light and the backlight appear to flicker at the same time. Then the TV powers off, including the LCD light. I tried the flashlight test to confirm and do not see an image. So I don't think the issue is with the CCFL's, I looked at the playlist from the repair guides and found this [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfL0Kv3DVkg&list=PLd8dosDlv_aqB4CwsbDcFK9eYEsDtCVe9&index=29"]video[/URL]...Last edited by guyonphone; 07-30-2013, 11:47 PM.Leave a comment:

Sceptre X32GV-Komodo Turns on but then turns back off, after logo, with some flickr.
I have a Sceptre X32GV-Komodo, When I turn on the TV it comes on, shows the Sceptre Logo (The logo has a light flicker) then it will power off, It will not turn back on again, unless I unplug it and then plug it back in and it will repeat the process, I did a visual inspection of the capacitors, and I saw three that were bad.
I bought [URL="http://lcdalternatives.com/Sceptre-X32GV-Komodo-LCD-TV-Repair-Kit-Capacitors-Only-Not-the-Entire-Board-P2324576.aspx"]this kit [/URL] from LCD Alternatives and replaced all the caps on the power supply board, except the monster one, however...Last edited by guyonphone; 07-25-2013, 11:50 AM. -
