I just replaced the power supply unit on my TV, but when I connect it to the power, the power light will flash on and off for a few minutes, before staying lit. The TV will still not turn on.

What other piece of hardware could have gone bad? tv: PN43D450A2D psu used: Samsung BN44-00442A (PSPF271501A) Power Supply Unit

Make a couple tests and you can determine if you received a bad power unit or if you have other issues...first measure the pin marked PSON and see if that voltage goes up to about 3.5 volts when you turn the set on, if it does then the main-board is working ok and telling the power supply to come on and you received a bad power board, if that voltage isn't what it needs to be chances are the power board never was bad and you needed a new main board...good luck!

SOURCE: Looking for SK-26H520S Power Supply Unit

I had a similar problem where the TV would turn on then shutoff when bumped or over time. The clue was a "tick" sound when it shutoff. Unplugging and reconnecting the power cord go it going again for a few minutes anyway.

I took the unit apart and found the solder connection on the power supply unit was cracked where the main transformer attaches. The solder connection joins the PC board. I suspect the weight causes the joint to stress crack. This is easy to fix by removing the power supply and touching up the solder connections around the transformer. I'd check this first as it is very difficult to locate power supplies and other parts.

SOURCE: Originally I had a problem with my Viewsonic

no it sounds like you probably didnt need a new power supply but simply needed to check your fuses this error normally occurs when a fuse or capacitor has blown and will either be really cheap or really expensive to fix depending on which it is the fuse change should be possible on your own but running a diagnostic to find out which circuit has a blown unit would require some technical assistance and tools


hope this helps

Because the capacitors in the PSU retain a charge, the LED lights will glow after the power is switched off, these will fade out after a few seconds.

It would appear that at first glance, the PSU is indeed bad and the only way to eliminate this is to replace it with a known working one (I'm also assuming that the 4 pin yellow and black CPU plug that comes off the PSU is plugged into the motherboard?)

If this works than it was your PSU

If it does not work, there are several other possible reasons why this is happening:
Before doing the tests below, physically inspact the motherboard. Look for blown or buldging capacitors (the small cylinder objects), brownish residue, bulging sides etc are symptoms of a dying mobo. Check there are no objects causing a short on the board (you may need to remove the board to check) also, check the brass standoffs are not contacting the uninsulated parts of the board

  1. Faulty hardware: remove all the power rails to the drives and optical drives and test
  2. Bad Ram: remove all ram modules reboot and see if it beeps several times, replace each ram module in turn and retest
  3. Bad CPU (common fault), replace CPU with a known good one, retest.
  4. Bad Motherboard power regulator: No solution for this other than to replace the board

Since you do get some indicator on the TV, it means that the standby power supply is working but the rest of the power supply may not be.
The main board processor may have gotten corrupted, I would try unplugging it for about an hour to let it reset itself to see if it will work. If it still not working, then the power supply module needs to be checked out.
Please read my guide first so you will know what to look for.

Luxor tv flashing standby light

The flashing standby light on your Luxor TV can indicate several things, including:
  1. Power supply issues: If the TV is not receiving proper power, the standby light will flash.
  2. Malfunctioning hardware: A malfunctioning component in the TV such as the power supply, main board, or backlight system can cause the standby light to flash.
  3. Overheating: If the TV is overheating, it will go into protection mode and the standby light will flash.
  4. Software issues: A software glitch can also cause the TV to display a flashing standby light.
If the flashing standby light persists, it's best to unplug the TV, wait a few minutes, and then plug it back in. If the problem persists, you may need to contact the manufacturer or a professional repair service for further assistance.

LCD TV backlight goes off but still sound is present. Sometime it happen within few minutes and sometime take 30 minutes plus. Is that inverter Problem or CCFL? how I can rectify?

Check and replace damaged component/s at its back-light inverter board, or replace this board as card basis. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. It will be best to replace the inverter board as card basis. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ To some model sets; especially LED back-lighted types; the back-light inverter circuit will be part of the main power supply board [SMPS]. In such cases, the power supply board might need replacement. To some models sets, the back-light inverter and SMPS section circuit will be integrated at its main board itself. If so; the main board should be replaced. To some models of sets, all these section circuit will be integrated at its main board. If this is the case, you have to replace the main board.

My tv does not turn on

Hi,

This problem is likely a failed power supply. This is a known issue with this model TV. It will normally occur soon after the warrenty expires. It can also be caused by a voltage surge produced by a power failure. You might wish to unplug the TV for an hour or more. If this power reset does not allow the TV to turn on component failure is indicated. These sets are assembled using the wave soldering process they are known for having cold solder connections. The safety circuitry shuts the TV set down or will keep it from turning on when it detects a problem. This model of TV has over 2,000 parts, which includes millions of transistors inside the integrated circuits. The capacitors will change value, leak and become defective. Resistors will change value and burn. Diodes and IC can go bad. This may have a domino effect and cause other parts to fail. Replacing one defective part may make the TV operate for a short time but the part will fail again if the parts that caused the failure to begin with are not replaced. The only way to know for sure which parts that are no longer within factory specs and for a proper repair all the electronics must be diagnosed by someone with the correct electronic test equipment specifically designed for TV service and the skills to use the test equipment. I wish I could tell you there was a quick fix or button to push that would fix the TV but that is not the case or the solution needed to get the TV operating correctly.

Let me know, if need further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Magnavox # 37MF231D

that depends on the value of the television and the cost of replacing the power supply and connections.
Most likely you have a short in your power supply or other connections causing the tv to protect itself by shutting down. You can check with our Repair Service lookup icon for a repair service near you.
Before you call them you may try unplugging your unit for 30 minutes or so and plugging it back in.
