Acoustic Solutions 19"LCD TV ASTV-3619WS

Hi,

I am after some help with this TV. It turned itself off with a blue flash coming from the back with a smell of burning. I changed the fuse and the same thing happened.

I removed the back to have a look what was causing the flash and it is coming from the transformer on the PSU. I googled the trans model number LCL-1608WH AND 608980002050 and came across this site.

I am guessing the transformer is knackard, Is it easy to replace it? Will the PSU still have residual current in it? If so how do I discharge it? I have a little bit of soldering experiance.

I haven't found a site where I can get one from, can anyone surggest a supplier? or where I can get a new or second hand PSU model number ls1904006a ver 1.0.

Thanks for any advice

Hi thanks for the reply.

Here is a pic I found on google of the PSU. It looks identical

Cheers

Edit: the transformer that flashes is the one at the bottom of the pic.

Sorry was unable to take a pic this morning so uploaded the image I found online.

Here is a pic of the PSU, hope this helps. Like the other pic is the transformer at the bottom of the pic that gives the flash.

Thanks

hi
if its bottom left its a coil not transformer
unsolder it and check under the coil for bad
soldering

turn the board over and look for bad soldering or burning marks.

[VampirorNight]

Is it ok too touch the board? Do I need to discharge it first? If so how?

I understand the dangers if messing around with PSU's and not to touch components due to residual current.

It hasn't been plugged in for 3 days, do you think the current may have discharged?

hi
could be have you a meter if so check the readings

I took a chance and removed the board, I don't have a multi meter to check but noticed I could turn it over with the cable that joins it to the next board.

I cannot see any burn marks on the underside of the board. There is flux residue next the where the flex is soldered on to the board. I have attached a pic of it.

hi
you will have to remove coil from board and look at the pins
