Help fixing Panasonic TNPA5808 (SMPS) low voltage issue

Without the board connected to the TV the supplies may not read correctly anyway, but the most common issues are high-ESR electrolytic capacitors, such as the reservoir capacitors on the output rails. You can check them unpowered in-circuit with an ESR meter, or with the board powered up using an oscilloscope on the capacitors, if they are high ESR you will get high ripple on them.

So are your readings with the board connected to the TV, or have you connected the board to dummy loads as specified in the list above?.

For that matter, is there any reason you suspect the PSU board is at fault?.

Thanks fro the respond

I checked by putting a dummy load and without a load both readings were 13.2V

However with A-Board connected,

Both 16V and 24V within specifications.

16V reads 15.5V and 24V reads 23.2V


This TV was working fine and I didn't use it for long. When I try to turn ON the TV, the green LED is steady ON. Not responding to any button no blinks, no red LED or nothing at all. Only green LED lights up continuously.

I checked voltages on A-Board and all fine. Only PNL12V and 5V to USB connector is missing.

I think MT5307 is not turning them ON.



These pins should be High to enable those as I learned.

I was looking at a wrong pin. It's not pin 102. They are Mediatek's 104(USB_DN1) and 105 (USB_DP1). It seems USB_DN1 is enabling following circuit



and USB_DP1 enabling PNL12V. Any thought why the Mediatek is not activating them?
