Useful Considerations On TV Power Supply

By Ryan Sullivan


Certain reasons may drive you to repair your television. This includes your device powering itself off or taking a long time to get reception when you turn it on. The good thing is that such problems can be resolved by repairing the TV power supply. The process is not very hard when you have proper guidelines.

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.

The next step is to locate where the circuit board is by following the board that the power cord is linked to. Disconnect the screws and connectors by using a screwdriver from the board. Ensure you note where they all came from as you will have to reattach them as they were. It is imperative you take pictures so that you do not get confused during reattaching. After the connectors and screws are unattached, remove 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.

Once you remove the faulty ones, use the new ones to replace them. Take note of the positive polarity and negative polarity when substituting them. You should then indicate the negative leads that are on the board using the soldering iron. The negative section is characterized by a grey stripe. Since the capacitors are polarity sensitive, make sure they are installed well.

After replacement, you ought to reassemble your television to check power. When you have substituted the connectors and have reattached the back panel and the bolts, check if the problem has been rectified. A power surge is the likelihood of the fuse blowing. Therefore if the issue has not been settled, check the fuse. Look for a suitable fuse for your device for replacement.

If the issue has not been resolved, consider replacing the circuit board. If the circuit board has been destroyed, your device will not be able to work effectively. Prior to replacing it, you need to know the correct steps to be followed. This prevents you from further damaging your television.
