Hello, Everyone;
I have an LG 60PA6500 that I am hoping to repair instead of having to replace it.

Hi Everyone, I've been scouring your forum for a few days now and am amazed at the expert help that has been flowing so freely!
I'm sure the answers I'm looking for will be found in the Plasma TV repair section (-:

I stumbled upon this forum as I am trying to figure out if I can fix my LCD TV or use it to determine the height of my work building by dropping it off and timing it till it hits the ground.

My name is Jon, and I should belong to Electronics Anonymous because I really only know enough to be dangerous, but I am addicted to always attempting to learn more and explore beyond my current limitations.
I have a background in ChE and have been working in materials research and development for about 20 yrs with a 10 yr break as a missionary in Russia.

So...., I have this friend who has this tv...

Jon

Hello all. I'm Dani, n I'm here trying to gain access to a Dell Latitude E6420 utilizing RasbPi and Flashrom. I'm in love with my E6320, so getting the E6420 working would be cool beans!

I've used Flashrom on my RasbPi 3 a few times before. I flashed the chips on 3 of my guitar amplifiers (Peavey Vypyr series) and brought them back from the dead! So I'm eager to try flashing the BIOS chips on the Dell

Hello, found BadCaps while researching how to repair a Panasonic TC-P50U50. Quickly found what I needed. Will likely be back often in the future.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

I'm a recently-retired electrician (industrial construction/maintenance) whose first electronic projects used vacuum tubes (and whose first car had a mechanical distributor, points, cap and coil. My first digital computer was a TRS-80 Model 1. I was "there" as 24-volt electro-mechanical relay control panels in manufacturing plants were replaced by wire-wrap solid state IC boards, paper tape drives, and eventually programmable controllers.
Now, just about everything from my toothbrush to my television set is microprocessor-based and good information is more vital than ever...especially when trying to repair a dead laptop!

Hello all, i'm a 33 year old who lives in Adelaide. I've worked in IT for about 5 years now, and starting to play around with fixing computers/tv's.
I'm having an issue with my LG 42LD650 that i have where it won't turn on.. Usually, when the TV is in standby mode, there will be a red LED light in the bottom right cnr of the tv which stays solid red. When turning the tv on, it fades out and then turns blue (which is when its working properly!) Now, mine doesn't do this - i turn it on and the red light fades out and then back red again, then fades out and then back red again. This continues indefinitely. I've just changed the main power board, but to no avail..

There is something about a tcon connection or something which i can't seem to find anywhere? Although i went with the first option from the internet which was to replace the PCB. HELP PLS..... I'm stuck.

Thanking all in advance.
