Hi guys, I’m back here my friend give me her tv, that doesn’t turn on and no standby red led. When u plug in the cord the red led of one two second is on, then turn off. If you push the power button or the remote the red led blinks but nothing happen. I give u some photo with voltage, don’t look the fuse….because I blow it for mistake nd I dint have the right replace so I just put it for test the tv. The standby voltage should be 11,88 volt on the diode, but I have 13 volts. I put in the photo the different volts I test and there are someone negative…I don’t know if it s normal.

Hi everyone.
Found some topics here for the same issue, on the same board, but none with all the same values I have or same steps to correct it. And I could not get usefull information from it.
So... M1, board 820-02016-A, stuck at 5V. Current is 0.08A and from time to time it jumps to 0.13A and back.
I measured:
L5230 - 5.1V
LC320 - 0V (no short)
LP800 - 0V (no short)
L5840/5820/5800 - 3.8V
F5200 - 12.29V (according to an entry on repair.wiki "If the voltage is approximately 12.28-12.35V, it may indicate a communication issue between...03-29-2025, 04:55 PM -
So i recently was forced to get a loan with
My laptop being the collateral. Long story short they saran wrapped it while on. I'm trying to find a way to definitively determine what got cooked, if anything (something most certainly did). As my laptop no longer performs like it used to. Is there steps i can take to give myself the certainty what precisely was trashed? Specifically the cpu, is my primary concern and anything that would massively cripple it's usability while still being mildly functional. Thank you for your time.Today, 08:55 PM -

I have an MSI B360M Bazooka with a dead short on the 3VSB rail (and VDD33 which is connected). The ethernet controller chip (UL3 in boardview) was getting very hot, so I thought that was the culprit. But after I removed it, the short remained. When I added 5V standby power again, I noticed the ground pad where the ethernet controller had been was getting very hot, as was the nearby hole for an m2 standoff.z
I haven't found the problem component(s) causing the short yet (no thermal cam). Does the heating of the ground pad mean it should be something near there?Today, 07:20 PM -
Hi there,
First, I'm not sure it's the right section to post for this type of device, but could not think of something better.
Ok, so my son (a mechanic) bought a faulty Hofmann Geodyna 6300 wheel balancer (which appears to be mostly a re-branded Snap-on wheel balancer).
I'm looking for any resources (doc, manuals, schematics) that would be available for this device or anyone that would have any knowledge on this particular device (or its Snap-On equivalent).
I'm trying to diagnose the fault(s ?), but I can't find any schematic (appart from the...Yesterday, 05:29 AM -
Just bought this for 10 bucks yesterday hoping to fix it. The guy said water dropped inside from a dehumidifier hose and it started showing black and white vertical bars then went blank. When I got it home and turned it on it came on fine and displayed correctly but I was noticing faint vertical bars in the image. After a little bit I turned it off and back on and it was a black screen again. I opened it up to check for water damage and corrosion but didn't find anything of the sort. I cleaned the ribbons anyway and reconnected them but still got a blank screen. If I disconnect the right side...03-29-2025, 11:02 PM

Hello esteemed members. I appreciate that my question will strike some as being somewhat childishly simple, but it genuine perplexes me! I have repaired several laptops before by removing a faulty capacitor that was short-circuiting the motherboard, whereupon the laptop would then work. For me, it begs the question that, if the current can bypass where the capcitor was when it has been removed, why didn't it just bypass it when it was present and faulty,? I can't get my head round the premise that if the other side of the capacitor is connected to ground, then why doesn't the current simply bypass...Today, 10:33 AM

Hey guys, I got this model which stays black screen but CPU heats up. All voltages on board seems oK.
Perhaps BIOS issue?

Hey everyone,
This power supply board is hard to find but there are repair kits available. This board had a blown fuse, FP801S, blown PFC MOSFET, QP802CS and ceramic cap, CP809. I replaced them with parts I already had and tested the rest of the parts that would've come in the repair kit and they were fine. I powered the board up on the bench expecting, in typical Samsung power supply board fashion, to see all my output voltages but, nothing. 0 volts on CNL801, CNM801 and CNT801. The only thing I have is 170vdc on the filter caps. No standby voltage either.
