Hello all and thanks for having such an amazing forum! I was searching for how to fix my tv and this forum kept coming up so I thought I'd ask you guys now that I've done a little bit of research and digging around.
I looked at this thread https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...50PK350&page=2 as it was the closest I could find to relating to my tv, but it's not the exact situation that I had. Here is what happened:
I sat down to watch TV like normal and I turned it on. It came on with no issues and I used it for ~1 minute and then it turned off. When I tried to turn it back on, it continued to do the same thing over and over; click, show the white light on the bottom center, then quickly click off back to standby. I left it overnight and it never stopped doing this. So I took off the back and started trying things.
Unplug the zboard and when I plug it in, it turns on instantly and shows a distorted version of the "input status" in the top left, but no color or anything like that. I try a few different menu options and it appears to respond (the distorted shape changes on the screen). Also, when I unplug it, the red "standby" light stays on for at least 2-3 minutes. Me being the noob I am, unplugged it thinking there was no more power, tried to plug in the zboard again, and saw a quick spark where the pins met the connector. Hopefully this didn't do any harm...
Unplug the yboard and it turns on but shows nothing, no backlight or anything.
Plug both back in, turn on the tv and... walla, it turns on with no issues. Now that I have the back off and everything, I really want to fix what's broken before I put it back together.
Unfortunately, I thought I had a multimeter but I do not know where it went. As it stands, I really just want to replace a whole board or send it in to get it repaired. I have no problem buying a new board for 50-70 (ebay) or getting it fixed for the same price, I just want to make sure I am getting the correct thing replaced.
What else should I unplug and/or test or can you guys give me a definitive answer just from what I have already? Thanks again!
