Hisense tv won’t turn on red light blinking: How to change a capacitor and fix TV

This is 50” Hisense Smart Tv. In this video I replace two of the capacitors that were blown. Let me know how I did.
Exact capacitors I used:

The video that teaches this way better than I can:
• Replacing Electrolytic...
Update**** it has been 4 months… tv still working!!!

Just a couple pointers 1. Get a desoldering gun it will melt the old solder and suck it up so you don't have to fight with getting the leads into the holes 2. Do not pre-tin the leads on the capacitor it makes the leads thicker and harder to get through the holes. 3. Do not trim the leads before you solder the capacitors back into the board keep them long this helps with alignment just insert the leads and push the capacitor down to the board as far as it will go don't force it then on the back side of the board put a slight bend on both leads at the board this will hold capacitor in place long enough for you to solder 4. Also when discharging the capacitors it's recommended to use a 20k ohm resistor across the capacitor terminals this is much safer than a screw driver

[@echoingamy]

Agree on all points…

[@Hemidakota]

This is nothing more than a recall when it becomes a pattern. Thank you Amy.

Good job ❤️👍for someone who doesn't have much knowledge about electronics. Careful🙏 before discharging capacitors. The one you discharge and make a big spark was the high voltage capacitor ⚡🖐️. It's was around 350 volts. ⚡. To discharge a high voltage capacitor you need a resistors. Around 220 omh. It's not safety to discharge it with a screw driver. The soldering must heat enough so you can disoldering the joint on pcb easily. You must heat the old soldering on the board with new soldering leads. Then it will be easy for you. If not you can use desoldering pump vacuum also. Next when replacing the new capcitor no need to cut the pins. Just insert it and afrer soldering on the board you can cut it. Never add soldering leads on the capacitor pins before inserting it on the board. The hole on the pcb is so small. Overall it seems OK if you had inserted the capacitor correctly in the direction needed. But I seen the soldering is a bit loose. You need to apply it near the board. I have a hisense tv also. 🙏😊 Nice to see your TV working.

[@echoingamy]

Well hopefully it continues working and I don’t need to replace them again. I shouldn’t have turned it on right before I started, but I wanted to film what the tv looked like before. It had a pretty good spark 😀

[@Fardeenfarwest]

@@echoingamy well if you didn't turn it on to film it. So everyone wouldn't the problem of the TV. Don't worry you replace it well as I seen on the video. It will work for a long time. The capacitor don't get blown easily. Unless there are some other factors make a capacitor blown. The diotes or if a lizard 🦎 come on the power supply that's cause much troubles. When I seen the spark I was shocked. As you can see the capacitor keep some voltage despite you turn the TV off. Be careful next time please 🙏. Me too I didn't know much about it. But I learn it when I had experience this for the first time. Just be careful please. ❤️

[@tristonrogers24]

Capacitors went bad after a storm. This video showed me all I needed to know. Took about 2 hours as I had never soldered before. Thank you!

[@BruhMakesGlass]

Where did you get parts?

[@LC-vw9kv]

What if the capacitors are not puffy up top?

[@willspy4u]

if you power your TV directly in the wall plug and don't use a proper "surge protector" power strip (it must say "surge protect" or "surge suppress" on the power strip), then a storm or sudden surge on the power grid can blow the capacitors. ALWAYS run your more expensive components, such as TVs, audio, PCs, Laptops, Roku, etc. on true "surge protectors." APC and other companies have really good surge protectors. Some folks plug into a power strip that are simply a "relocatable power tap" that don't have surge suppression.

[@mizgana]

Mine was plugged in a surge protector strip and still blew the caps... It's a 4 year old Hisense, not sure if age is involved

[@stephanc2359]

Your first time and you all those soldering techniques 😮

[@Mejia93635]

I just wanted to say thank you. I had an issue with my 70in ONN TV, and this actually was the problem. I will be tagging you in my video.

Replacing the board is only 39 dollars.

can you tell me capacitor model thanks

Great video. Same problem. You are very wise. Thanks for posting.

Thank you

[@gary1488]

I have what appears to be a similar tv. No blown capacitors, no screen, and blinking red light (faster blink than yours). Still diagnosing.

[@chewy6652]

same here, red light blinks twice..This is my second Hisense, the last one did the same thing.

[@charlieelifrits1889]

Same thing here. Changed out main board/power board didn't do anything. Was thinking of changing out the tcon board. I'm just not sure that is the issue. There's no hard reset on my model 50A6G already a hundred dollars into the repair any suggestions?

[@echoingamy]

My capacitors did not look blown. I replaced them anyway. It ended up being the problem.

👋👋 well done..a good effort ...just a few things which have been mentioned, personally I also like too make the sponge a bit damp.

[@echoingamy]

Thanks for the tips!

[@markwhitfield5412]

No need to tin the cap legs, it makes it harder to fit the cap legs in the holes, also before you remove the old caps add new solder to the pins 1st, this will help the original solder to melt quicker.

[@imousschannel]

Bravo 🫡

[@xctechs]

great video, i had same issue with my tv but didn't fix mine.

[@echoingamy]

Sorry to hear that

[@georgec7798]

I know this post is old but next time try checking the backlight LEDs because if one fails then the TV will come on for a few seconds then turn off

[@xctechs]

@@georgec7798 I should've done that, but thank you for reply.

[@ValleyDragon]

This is insanely impressive. I've never been brave enough to fix an LCD Panel. (I think an O6's tv broke and nobody wanted to take it apart because of the capacitors!) I think the only thing I successfully soldered was a CAC reader that had cables that kept coming loose. I would caution that most "Tin" has lead it it so you would probably want to wear some type of gloves and work in a Very Very well ventilated area and wear a mask too.

[@echoingamy]

It’s fixed, but I’m too afraid to use it. I need an electrician to watch it and tell me it’s good enough.

[@ValleyDragon]

@@echoingamy You could use it in a brick area or other non flammable area.

[@willspy4u]

I'm an electrician / electronics technician and, except for the very first cap, you did really well - even that first cap gets a passing grade of B-

I have a vizio tv I had about four years. when I Purchased it I was Browsing through ebay and they had 65 inch like mine that had a cracked screen they were selling all the circuit boards out of. So I have all brand-new circuit boards in a box in my office closet. I hate to throw anything away so I'm going to replace the Capacitor's and put the new one in and save the old one as a spare.

[@echoingamy]

That’s awesome

could these capacitors go bad without "swelling"?

Yes. It’s affordable to replace so it’s worth trying. I’ve replaced them twice.. second time they looked perfectly fine.. replaced them anyway and tv worked again
