Re: Reusing an old laptop screen

how do you program it?
you have to tell these things the panel spec.
some use jumpers - others use firmware uploads.

Re: Xbox One dead LAN IC

nice!
that's a magjack, the transformer has arced and burned up.
probably from lightning.

you need to remove it, and check all the small resistors.
and the inductor.
everything in the area...

Re: ONKYO TX-SR607 ; FL Tube LCD Replacement ?

look for electrolytic caps connected with it.
if you find one, try using a 1uf polyester in it's place.

Re: Another Dead CFL...that seemed to have lasted.

if it flashed, maybe the heaters burned out.

usually the heaters go open or the electrolytic dries out in the ones that die here.

Re: Oscilliscopes

do you get the spikes without any probes?

btw, try to find the cause - it will effect other stuff like radio.
i suspect it's a low current psu - like an led lamp.
