ALBA LCD32880hdf
Hi all i have the above model of lcd,was great until,it broke !!!! now just switches on for a matter of minutes,says no signal and does a count down from 5:00,then retires into standby mode.
Have opened the unit but no visable sign of burned or blown parts,any ideas ?

Hi have you tried al the inputs  ie scart ,hdmi
The countdown is to switch off as it has no signal .
If you have tried all inputs with no success then it suggests the main board has a problem ,
quicker to replace than repair

Hi
when you say shuts off do you mean the screen goes blank or does it say no signal ?
Title: Re: ALBA LCD32880hdf
Post by: LEEDASH on January 31, 2012,13:32:13
blank.

Right sorry when you say blank do you mean screen off completely or can you still see light at the back from the ccfls .

Just trying to work out if your inverter has gone or your main board is shutting down the inverter as it is not getting a signal and going into standby mode .

If you press source on your remote you should see a list of inputs , make sure it is set to dtv and try it again
sorry bit long winded but the more info the more chance someone might be able to help you sort it

Hi Leedash,

Think this (Vestel) is known to have dodgy 5pf/3KV plus caps in the inverter 'tube sensing feedback circuit' - replace 5pf blue caps near the screen tube sockets - had one or two - cheap from China/off Ebay - all the best - Chris

Hi Sparky,

Eating carrots daily - but had a glass, or two -will reply tomorrow as your post seems unusually curious, but in ever lower case, for some left-ish reason, perhaps - Chris

Hi these run to different types of inverter .
What the numbers of the inverter and what number main board does your one run .
From what you are saying you are coming up with 2 types of fault ,
one is an inverter problem the other is a main board problem which could be causing the inverter to shut down .

Are you  getting a picture to start with when you are using scart or hdmi and it is then shutting off the inverter after a couple of mins or
are you getting nothing but sound from the begining and no picture

On switch on with nothing connected i get a no signal and countdown on a blue screen,even with a aerial plugged in,then goes off after a minute,then when switched on again just goes off quick.
If i plug in a external freeview box i get picture sound etc but still switches off after couple of minutes but sound remains (black screen).I made sure it was set to dtv.
