TV Power Supply Fixing Guide

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 are a number of tools you will need to effectively do the job. They include a capacitor, soldering iron, solder, screwdriver and a solder sucker. Confirm that your toolbox has all these items, and if not, you will have to go to the store. You should first determine if the problem is really what you want to repair. In television electric supplies, capacitors normally go bad causing them to leak and bulge hence the monitor will not get power.

Once the television has been unplugged from its power source, ensure you place it on a flat area with the screen facing down to prevent any damages. You can then detach all screws that have attached the back panel with a screwdriver. After all of them have been removed, you can detach the back panel by wiggling it a little bit since it is not secured with bolts and then 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.

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.

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.
