TV Power Supply Repairing Tips

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.

You will need different tools to help you realize the task easily and quickly. Check if a capacitor, screwdriver, soldering iron, solder sucker, and solder are in your toolbox. If you do not have one, go to an electronics store to buy what you do not have. Use them to open the device and determine what is causing the issue. In most cases, the capacitors are the fault, and if they have leaked, the screen will not be 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.

You should then determine the location of the circuit board on the device by following closely the board connected to the power cord. Detach all the connectors and screws from the board with a screwdriver. Make sure that you clearly note how they are connected for reattachment to be easy. It will be better if you take images to prevent you from being confused when reattaching them. After the screws and connectors have been detached, you can take away the circuit board.

Locate the faulty capacitors. They are cylinder-shaped and vary in width and height. Most of them appear normal and therefore look for ones with a brown-yellow liquid coming from the top, or it has bulged at the top. This is an indication that the capacitors have overheated and are the cause of the fault. Remove them ensuring that you do not damage copper pads.

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.

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 none of these solves the problem, your last option is to replace the main circuit board of the device. This is because if it is damaged, the television would not work correctly. Before doing this, you should have guidance on how it should be replaced so that you do not cause further damage to the device.
