glad you found it! Can you post the location and part number so people reading this thread later can find it easily.

is there a charge to find out,were this resistor is located.?????

First of all this TV model uses LED backlights so it does not have Inverter board or circuits for the CCFL, so I am not sure what inverter he is talking about.
May be we can start by uploading good clear pictures of all the boards and start from there.

@Bufferb, sadly a lot of folks come here and receive help for their repair and never return to let us know if it was fixed and where the trouble was. As budm said we can narrow down the suspects with some pictures if you would be so kind to post them. The pictures on the original post are far too blurry to be of use, There only appears to be one combined power/ av board. The Op discovered the bad resistor when testing the led power source so the trouble is likely to be very near there.

SO you wont tell us what RESISTOR,SO I & 100 more people are spending
2 hrs trying to find this resistor.with no luck.IS this april fool's day or what.
NOT very HAPPY.

WHY hasent this repair been told to members.YOU found a resistor what RESISTOR & WERE.

This thread is almost two years old. I doubt you'll get a response.

Its probably a surface mount resistor on the back side of the power supply. However if he found it while checking for currents, it is very possible that if you check them in circuit it will read a different part so you will have to take them out of circuit and or wait for him to reply about the location.

i fixed the tv. I was doing voltage measurement on the secondary side inverter section and found an open surface mount resistor. Replaced the part and problem solved. Thanks for the input guys.

can you reply back to where you found the fix, a lot of people want to know where you fund the resistor that was giving the problem. Thanks.

Check the Led backlights. have the same problem here. just fix it by replacing some led.

For the record, same here. Flashing LEDS fixed not by repairing a resister but by replacing LED strip.
