TV Power Supply Repairing Tips

By Ryan Sullivan


There are a number of reasons why you might want to do a repair. One of it is that your television may be powering off on its own or it may take a long duration to get reception as soon as it is turned on. Lucky enough, this kind of issue can be solved by TV power supply repair. Before beginning, below are some of the crucial steps you need to look into.

There is certain tools that are required for you to do the repair easily. This includes a soldering iron, screwdriver, solder, capacitor, and solder sucker. Check whether your toolbox includes all of this equipment. If they are missing, you may have to visit an electronic shop to buy them. Check to see where exactly the problem is for you to know what should be repaired. For device power supplies, the capacitors are normally the problem and can leak preventing the monitor from being powered.

Remove the device from its powering source and place it on a working area that is flat ensuring that the screen faces down to minimize damage. All of the bolts should then be loosened by use of a screwdriver to remove the back panel. Once they are loosened, separate the back panel from the main unit by wiggling it and safely keep it aside.

Check where the circuit board is by keenly following its connection to the power cord. You should then loosen the bolts and connectors attached on the board with the help of a screwdriver. You ought to take note on their connection so that you correctly reattach them. Take pictures of the connection to help you during reattachment to prevent you from forgetting. Once the connectors and bolts are loosened, disconnect the circuit board.

Find the malfunctioning capacitors. They are shaped like small cylinders and are different in height and width. Probably all of them appear normal. Search for those that have a brown to yellow fluid at the top or seem to have swollen at the surface. Such an appearance indicates that they have been overheated hence causing the problem. While you are getting rid of them, make sure that the copper pads are not destroyed.

After you have removed all of them, you will have to replace them. Ensure you keep track of the negative and positive polarity as you replace them. Use your soldering iron by marking the negative lead on the board. The negative side has a gray stripe. The capacitors should be installed correctly as they are polarity sensitive. The board is clearly marked helping you to insert them correctly.

Reassemble the device and the check power. After replacing connectors, back panel and screws, confirm whether the issue has been resolved. A power surge probably may have caused the fuse to blow. If the problem is not yet resolved, test the fuse. You will have to look for the appropriate fuse and replace it with the old one.

Once the fuse has been changed, and the problem has not been fixed, it may be time to substitute the circuit board. This is because if it has any faults, your television may not work properly. However, this process is crucial, and you should know the necessary steps you ought to follow.
