Hello guys! Correct me if am wrong am just new to this forum. Just urgently need some help for my Barco Cine 7, just suddenly the lights won't turn on. The power turn on momentarily and some clicking sound then shuts down again! Is it already doomed! And am also interested with the HD fury 2. Will it work with my current system provided i transfer my bluray player? Thanks so much in advance!

Sounds like there is short in some board.

Check if there is some diagnostic led flashing when problem occur.

Thanks so much Ile for the info. Will try to check what lights are indicating on the unit. This forum is really helpful with people like you around. Will try to see for any indication of a short though. Will be posting any developments as soon as i can check the unit. Thanks again!

Help!!! They can not seem to find the culprit! They tried changing the quadrupler n splitter already but still no picture out! Even the menu screen does not come out! They strip the smp board out and try cleaning some of the connections but still no picture out! So they pull out my unit already! Pls helpppp!!! Am i really doomed! Urgent any feedback or same problems around? Thanks in advance.

If Ile can't repair it, then I can. It sounds like the deflection board or SMPS is bad. It also sounds like your repair tech is guessing, set shutdown is NEVER caused by the HV quadrupler.

Thanks Curt! I guessed so too! I am so pissed off with what they are doing to my unit! Imagine removing the whole part with the quadrupler and then removing the splitter which is soldered properly. And still guessing up to the boards! If the SMPS board is the cause how can we detect which part is defective? Do i have to change the entire board? Actually this happened when the unit was playing a movie and suddenly it went white and then a black line appears then off. When we try to turn it on again all lights on the led lights up but after a while it slow dims then on again then totally off. Thanks again for your help!

Often when a unit strikes up then down about three times before shutting down it is the convergence board.

It is possible to run these with out the yellow wires of the converegnce board connected as a test.

I have also seen a lot of issues with the SMPS and in particular the circuit that automatically switches 240 to 110 sorry third beer of the evening and I forget the exact term.

On the SMPS is a tiny white transformer that often burns out worth a look for over heating on the reverse side of the board under the protective sheet.
