I need your help on this one.
Magnavox/Phillips MS3650C129 Chassis #36M800 7603 (other numbers 6560-BYV29X)
TV dead after lightning. Line fuse OK. Diode (board number) 6560 shorted. That's all I have found so far.
Replaced the diode with ECG598. Pushed the power button and heard the click of death. Replacement diode again shorted.
I called the number found in Sams index for Phillips and was sternly informed by a recorded voice to go to "thepartsstore.com". I didn't have any luck there. You need a password, which is only issued with an account number. Not desiring to submit financials to open an account for this one job, I quit looking for help from the manfacturer.
I would like to purchase a drawing and proceed from there. Is there a way around this roadblock--and would anyone have a suggestion on probable lightning damage patterns on this chassis?
Thanks
David, on the Illinois prairie.
(I sold a new TV to the customer, so this one is mine and is not a rush job.)
