Hi. Newbie here. I was looking at a friend's Toshiba TV with the blackscreen but power light on issue. First suggested step was to test incoming voltage. I failed this step.
I put the multimeter to the incoming power source with the tv plugged in and I heard a pop, saw a flash and smoke. Pictures show the settings that I had my multimeter set to and the resulting blackened area (bottom right) where I attached my multimeter.
I'm thankful I'm alive but would like to know did I "fry" the power board? Is there a way to test this? Sorry, but if so, could you explain whether I need to adjust the probes on my multimeter and what setting should I set it to?
Thanks
