Philips Television: LED started to blink twice, after Power off/on LED stays off

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 06:01:09 -0700

Hi All,

after 13 years the LED of my beloved Philips TV 55PFL7108K/12 suddenly started to blink twice.

Then i couldn't turn it on anymore, therefore i re-plugged the power cable. Since then it doesn't even blink anymore at all. Only when i plug in the power cable the LED lits up for some milliseconds and then everything stays off.

Any idea what this could be? I am willing to open the TV, but for now i wanted to ask here for ssuport.

Thanks a lot in advance.

DualShock 4 CHU-ZCT2U: L2 Trigger influences Right joystick

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 05:24:59 -0700

I've been trying to repair a Dualshock 4 controller (JDM-055) that had the following issue:

Pressing the L2 trigger induced an input on the right joystick's Y axis. So pressing L2 made the camera go up.

What I've attempted: Opening up the controller, cleaning it, and making sure all the contacts were clean and aligned. Once that was done, I test it again on gpadtester and it was still displaying the same fault. So I thought maybe the joystick was faulty and leaking current somehow and de-soldered it. It's still behaving the same even without any joystick there, it just pegs the value further up. Is this a known issue? Is the main PCB toast? I can't think of anything else other than a drifted resistor somewhere or a PCB crack, which probably wouldn't be worth repairing. Any tips appreciated!

Image of what gpadtester looks like when pressing L2 with no joystick installed. When released, the input hovers near the edge of the circle. When pressing, it goes up.

Hi again, I've changed the circuit membrane, and now the two triggers are stuck on 1 no matter whether I press them or not. I've checked and both the membrane and the gaskets are seated properly. All other buttons are working. The right joystick is still empty. Any idea what the issue could be? Thanks!

PSP 3000: Why does my PSP shut off during booting

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 05:23:58 -0700

when i try to boot up my psp, it gets the the logo but then shuts off with a distinct click sound. i tried to adjust the battery so it sits properly and put a piece of paper inside it and tried to boot it, still didn’t work. i also tried to take the battery out and boot it while directly connected to the power cable. this still didn’t work. i also tried to take out the sd card and boot it, thinking that it could be because of a plugin. but this still didn’t work. any advice or help without having to tear the whole thing apart

Kenmore 80 Series Washing Machine: Why is my machine only agitating in fast cycles?

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 04:32:18 -0700

My machine agitates in fast-agitation/heavy duty cycle but not in the other slow-agitation cycle. It fills, empties, and spins fine in all the cycles.

The slow agitation issues came on gradually, at first it was hesitating after filling but would eventually start, but after awhile it would go through the whole agitation phase without moving at all.

I've replaced the timer and the capacitor.

It's clear that the internal battery has stopped charging from the main battery and needs to be replaced. Where is it located, what's its name? It would be nice to see instructions for replacing it somewhere. Of course, professionals don't want to share information. But maybe there's a manual somewhere written by a not-so-greedy professional? Thanks.
