    Strange Power Supply Behavior on Skyworth 55U5A14G

    Hi, I have a 55 inch Skyworth tv that has a visible standby light but won't power on, Usually this fault is indicative of a bad main board but I went to test the power supply just to make sure of that. The power supply output has 14 pins (see image attached), here are my readings when the main board is connected to the power supply (PSU model: L5R021 ,I cannot find much info about it as it is not popular):

    22/12v - 12v
    22/12v - 12v
    GND - GND
    GND - GND
    12V - 12V
    12V - 12V
    GND - GND
    GND - GND
    NC
    NC
    STB - 4.66V
    NC
    ADJ - 4.98V
    ENA - 0.05V

    This is already a little confusing to me, first off I do not understand how 12v is at the output, isn't the enable pin practically at 0 volts? What is ADJ? and The STB seems a little low to me.

    The following are the readings I get with the main board and backlight connector disconnected from the PSU.

    22/12v - 12v
    22/12v - 12v
    GND - GND
    GND - GND
    12V - 12V
    12V - 12V
    GND - GND
    GND - GND
    NC
    NC
    STB - 0V
    NC
    ADJ - 0V
    ENA - 0V

    How come STB is now completely gone but the 12v remains still? STB should always maintain a constant voltage even when the main board is disconnected correct?

    If I have 12v at the output always, is the missing STB when it is disconnected an issue? Could I just buy a replacement main board and it would work?

    Forgive my inexperience but this all seems a little too confusing for me, any help would be very much appreciated!!

      This is an always on power supply that outputs 12 volts at low current, The stb pin voltage is supplied by the main board and turns on the pfc circuit etc on the power supply so it will operate at a higher current to operate the tv/backlights etc.
      The main board will likely have a 12 volt to 5 volt regulator.
      The STB pin is the same as a PS_ON pin.

              So then STB should change state when you push power button? What is ENA for?
              I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.

                      I see, I had them mixed up. I thought ENA was for the PSU enable not backlight, i will buy a new main board and replace it. The PSU seems fine at this stage

                          Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
                          by sam_sam_sam
                          I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

                          One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

                          Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
                          by sam_sam_sam
                          I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

                          I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...

                          by semiRocket
                          The set is not turning on, when buttons on the front are pressed the button press sound is coming from the speakers, but the set is not trying to turn on, consuming only couple of watts.

                          I am troubleshooting a Vestel 17PW26-5 from the set. Not sure how it is supposed to turn on main supply, but with the main board disconnected not getting the main supply to turn on either.

                          Standby supply is working, PFC is working (390V), but the main supply is dead. Checked the mosfets and driving transistors and found they are not shorted and showing a diode junction. The suspicious...

                          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...

                          Sceptre U550CV-UMR 4K LED, Bad Caps on Main Power Board?
                          by Dani_2024
                          Hi and thanks in advance for any input you might provide!
                          I have a Sceptre U550CV-UMRD8POTV83BB 4K LED (this is a dumb tv) that I bought new in August 2021, so It's just completed 3 years.

                          Last Sunday I was watching a dvd and fell asleep for about half hour, when I awoke the tv screen was black and couldn't get the dvd menu to show, so I changed the input to antenna and had sound but no picture, turned it off. I then got online and found this great site! ....read many troubleshooting tips and this...
