Re: Philips 20PF4121/58 power inverter board problem

As a professional tech do you have any idea for RMK25 transistor?

[R_J]

Re: Philips 20PF4121/58 power inverter board problem

Is that rmk25 or rkm25 it could be a RK7002 or maybe 2n7002k

To u-processor IC7011.
There is 1.8V voltage to processor, and where is this voltage on power board?

That microprocessor operates from 3.3v standby from the power supply
The 1.8v comes from 7955 regulator ic, Its input voltage is.... +3V3STBY

Re: Philips 20PF4121/58 power inverter board problem

The transistor mark is RKM25 and looks RK7002 will be good replacement.
RKM25 has diode inside between D and S like RK7002B.

I also agree with you that must be st.by voltage +3.3V.
At the moment that is all i have.
I must check if this transistor have any affect to power up or st.by voltage.

Are you saying that you DO have the 3.3 volts standby voltage???

Output DC voltages are:

+10V output = not stable = 2.8V to 3.4V goes up and down
+3.3 output = 0.88V to 0.94V+12V output = 0.28V

Re: Philips 20PF4121/58 power inverter board problem

No i say i agree with you that this voltage must be there.
There is no.

Re: Philips 20PF4121/58 power inverter board problem

Ok good I thought I missed something, Can you trace back the +12 volts? Is it the supply that connects to the small fuse that supplies the BL inverter section?
It does seem that the +12volt line is loading down the rest of the power supply

[JohnNovak]

Re: Philips 20PF4121/58 power inverter board problem

I mark with red lines.

[JohnNovak]

Re: Philips 20PF4121/58 power inverter board problem

I check all loads are high, no shorts or heavy loads.
+12V fuses are OK.
What can be wrong here?

Happy New Year to all.

Re: Philips 20PF4121/58 power inverter board problem

R J.
I need your help, i think i found the problem.

I found faulty SMD transistor with SMD mark T3GU, position Q105.
Ther are 2 transistors on this board, measuring the second good transistor Q111 with analog ohm meter
shows PNP darlington type.

Now i search replacement for this transistor.

Re: Philips 20PF4121/58 power inverter board problem

I can't be sure, might be a TL431BCDBZR
Found this site that mentions them also http://monitor.net.ru/forum/philips-...fo-231989.html

Re: Philips 20PF4121/58 power inverter board problem

Hi.
I finally found the fault and now big problem to decode this part.
I check TL431 readings with ohm meter, not even close to good T3GU.
The silkscreen show Q for transistor, for voltage reference should be U or something.
And TL431 have 431 mark.

[R_J]

Re: Philips 20PF4121/58 power inverter board problem

This pdf shows the T3GU marking for a sot23-3 on page 36
The other site I linked to also mentioned that part as being a Precision Programmable Reference
You might need to draw out the circuit for that area to see how it is used
Usually that area of the secondary near the optocoupler, can have a 3 pin reference, they may have been lazy and labeled it Q

Does one of the leads go to ground? which one? Also was the original one shorted?

Do the letters look like this picture?

[JohnNovak]

Re: Philips 20PF4121/58 power inverter board problem

It looks the same to me like on the picture.
I make some photo but very hard to make good quality picture.

I have 10ohm readings at Q105, pin 1 and pin3 in both direction so i desolder out this part,
looks is damaged.

Pin3 goes to gnd, yes. Looks we have voltage reference here.

Q105 have pin3 to gnd, Q111 have no grounded pin.

I put pin out on the picture, should be correct?

[JohnNovak]

Re: Philips 20PF4121/58 power inverter board problem

Let we take a look one detail about TL431, if you have any new outside of pcb board,
if you measure with analog ohm meter x1 from pin3 to pin1 do you have any resistance readings like normal diode and from pin1 to pin3 no resistance?

[JohnNovak]

Re: Philips 20PF4121/58 power inverter board problem

R J, i have some good news.
Today i replace Q105 with TL431 i got power up with DC outputs:

+10V = 12.42V ???
+3.3V = 3.51V is OK
+12V = 15.36V should be 14.4V ??

I'm a little worried about +12V and +10V high outputs.
I will replace Q111 and Q105 with new TL431 and then will see what outputs will be.
TV works normal.

Re: Philips 20PF4121/58 power inverter board problem

Thats good , its almost there, Check the reference resistors, make sure they are not damage as in changed value

[JohnNovak]

Re: Philips 20PF4121/58 power inverter board problem

Hi again, R_J.

I finally receive new TL431.
I replace both Q111 and Q105.
DC outputs exactly the same, so one was faulty, one was good.
All resistors shows original value.
Still worry about high +12V output which is 15.36V.
This is more than 10% which is allowed by factory, 13.2V will be normal.

TV works normal, is it safe to run with so high +12V output?

[R_J]

Re: Philips 20PF4121/58 power inverter board problem

I checked the schematic for the tv and on page 29 it shows +12VSW coming from the power supply, but on ic7930 the VCC is shown as 14V4 so 15volts might be ok.
Does the +12vsw turn off when the tv is turned off? if not the fet that is used to switch it might be bad.

[JohnNovak]

Re: Philips 20PF4121/58 power inverter board problem

Thanks for reply.

I measure DC outputs when TV is turn off.

+10V = 12.35V
+3.3V = 3.57V
+12V = 3.57V

So the only voltage which goes down is +12V.

Switch FET=Q112
