Sanyo AVM-3289G TV will not turn on




By Mikeinca on Sep 13, 2007

" "
TV started to require multiple button bushes (on the front panel) to turn on. It worked fine via the remote. Sudenly it will not turn on at all. There is a high pitch whine coming from what I beleive is the power supply area.

I took my multimeter and measured around the CPU and noted that no voltage is present on the VCC and VSS on the chip. I can not seem to find a service manual to show me a schematic, so it makes it difficult to isolate the problem.

The front panel switches and the IR receiver connect directly to the CPU I/O so I would presume there must be voltage always present at the VSS/VCC pins for the power to work.

Any ideas for me on what I can check, or further information I can use to fix this TV?

- What am I looking for on the Cap? What voltage should it be? The 3 pin transistor, what should its pins be/look like?

I would also suspect the HOT or Flyback, but why would the power button act funky and then stop and now no power on the CPU. I would guess the HOT/Flyback failed.

- It looks like the HOT (marking D1880) is shorted from C>B>E all read 0 ohms.

There is no voltage present but I would expect that since I can not turn the TV on because of no power to the CPU, right? Do you know if the flyback is across the transistor that would make it appear as a short?

- I removed the HOT and now the 5V comes back. Appears the short caused the power supply to be pulled down. Once I removed this part, I am able to hit the power button and the unit turns on, however, it turns off after 3 seconds. This is due to a voltage monitoring circuit that automatically shuts the unit down when all voltages are not present. I have ordered parts (HOT and Flyback) I will try to replace just the HOT and see if that resolves the problem, if not, I will replace the Flyback as well. I even ordered a spare HOT incase the first pass fails and takes the HOT with it again.

- You were 100% correct. The HOT was certainly bad. The Flyback was fine. I installed the new HOT and put the set back together and it works like new.

Probably flyback in this set, but you can check Horizontal output, a 3 pin Transistor standing up on a heatsink. Also Large cap in powersupply.
