    I am a qualified tech. I have just never touched one of these before. power ic? where is the location of this? all fuses that I can see are in tact. power supply transformer has power. thanks

    All boards look ok. I suspect the transformer. But I don't know what voltages to check for and the new part is $100. don't want to buy it if it isn't bad. Thanks

The unit is not making any noise or no lights on, shows the problem with the power supply of the unit. Take the cover of the unit off and look at the power supply board and see if you can find a fuse ( If it has a fuse) that's the first thing you can look at, if there is no fuse or fuse is intact it shows a burnt power IC, which requires to be replaced by a professional technician. Hope it helps and comment if you need more clarification. Best

    That's good now things are much easier explaining.
    It's very good that you have a transformer on that system, makes things simpler, so if you have output on the transformer then definitely the current goes to diodes ( or transistor) to change AC to DC, check the output after those ( diodes or transistor) ( I'm sure you know all these and I'm sorry to mention again, just trying to help as much as I can ).
    Usually if the fuses are intact then only thing that can get blown on a power supply board is the power supply IC ( or transistor of some kind ) you can find them on the power supply board easily, they are usually attached to an aluminum cooling plate ( they get pretty hot ).
    You know it's really hard to consult on repairing something from a distance, I hope it helps you.

    Usually amplifier/receiver transformers have two outputs., i mean three wires are connected from transformer to the board (output ones), one of those points is common for both voltages, one of the points is usually +5V (AC) for powering some parts of the system, the third outlet point can be either 12V, 24V or sometimes 36V (AC) for powering mainly the amplifier part of the system.
    You can easily check the output of the transformer with a multimeter AC Voltmeter ( forgive me if I mention these, you may already know it), cross check all three points against each other you should be able to find the common base for both voltages and see the outputs, usually if the transformer is good then you have good output no matter what, cuz a bad transformer has not output at all, the problem that can happen with a transformer is either a broken line in primary input coil or a blown up primary coil ( in both cases you wont have any output at all, not even a small voltage).
    Have a look and let me know if I can be more of assistance.
    Best


    P.S Your system is a really nice one, I wouldn't mind spending a 100 on it to get it fixed, but gotta make sure the problem spot before buying any parts for it.

I have a Technics SA-AX6 the front display won’t turn on or doesn’t turn on

If the front panel display on your Technics SA-AX6 is not turning on even though you have replaced the display board and verified that the ribbon cable is not broken, there may be an issue with the power supply or the main control board. It's possible that a component on one of these boards has failed, preventing the display from receiving power or a signal. You may need to take the receiver to a professional repair shop for further diagnosis and repair.

I have a Sony Bravia LCD tv an it won't turn on at all the standby light is not even there I've tried turning on an off and leaving unplugged for an hour still nothing.? Help,

You either have a problem with your power supply board or main board. I would start with having the power supply fuse checked as well as the power supply board!

Duet dryer won't turn on. has power from outlet. but dryer has nothing . No lights . Nothing. Nada . Zip . Zilch.

remove the front door and screws securing the door to the front cover,then remove front cover and look for the thermal cutoff fuse as if this is open it will kill all power to unit,it should be on the blower wheel housing

Amana front loading washer won't run after power outage. Panle does light up.

Possible that the program controller unit has failed if there is no display or power in the indication. You will need to remove panel to check on the fuse and if the new fuse fails it is possible there are error or hardware failure within the board.
Please remove and check the power panel for shorted drive, rectifier or capacitor, if not the panel must be replaced.

Green timer light won't stop flashing on mitsubishi ws 73711.

the green light blinking is normal if set has been unplugged--when set is plugged back it should blink for about 70 seconds and then go out--then you can try to turn it on---it is the DM unit inside the set booting up.

If the light just blinks and never stops you have likely bad caps in the DM unit---there are kits available for that.

The other possible reason is that so called reset switch may be bad--fairly easy way to find that out and it is more common than you would think, let me know if you have questions.

46462 unit will not turn on

Hello anava214
Welcome

You said, your washer will not power up . Even the lights on the display panel are not turning on . And you have checked that the power outlet works.

Did you unplug the washer for 5 minutes and then plug it back in?

This can resets the system.

How old is the washer?

Faulty power-supply symptoms:

The front panel display and buttons are completely nonfunctional and appear dead. The unit will do nothing more than display the following messages on the TV screen:

Interface error

Interface error! Turn off the power

If a DVD or VHS tape was inserted prior to the error occurring, you won't be able to eject either from that point further. They'll remain stuck inside the unit until you've completed the repair detailed below.
