Yeah, well, it's not perfect. This is for people inclined to FIX electronic stuff. I used to repair monitors etc but don't have the inclination anymore, let alone the time OR the room.
I have a 42" Philips LCD TV here which works well BUT ... it only starts occasionally. What I have ascertained is that if EITHER the master or slave backlight inverter boards is heated with a hot air gun/hairdryer it will start up fine. Not much use like that though. The low-ESR electros have been replaced, no change.
So I can't determine which of them is faulty, and at $50 apiece for the replacement boards I'm not going any further down that road. I need the space it is taking up.
Any takers?
