    New to the site, needing help from the experts.

    Hi guys, just joined as i have been looking around for a fix to a tv i have just bought.

    Have always liked electrics and now want to learn about them so i thought i would buy a broken tv and see what i can do.

    I bought an alba 19inch (Vestel from what i have read on this site).

    It goes into standby (Blue light on) but then when i press the power button the blue light goes off, then 3 seconds later the backlight comes on for less than one second and goes off. And thats it? I have read about and its likely to be the caps but i can't find any bad ones?

    The power board is a 17ips15-4.

    I have tried this board in another alba (16inch one) and it does the same thing. Although the 16inch one works fine.

    Is there any chance you guys can help me out, I plan to be hanging around here for a long time .

    I suggest you post this in the section entitled "Troubleshooting TVs and Video Sources" in a new thread post clear focused focused pictures of all your boards following my sig file below exactly.
    --- begin sig file ---

    If you are new to this forum, we can help a lot more if you please post clear focused pictures (max resolution 2000x2000 and 2MB) of your boards using the manage attachments button so they are hosted here. Information and picture clarity compositions should look like this post.

    We respectfully ask that you make some time and effort to read some of the guides available for basic troubleshooting. After you have read through them, then ask clarification questions or report your findings.

    Please do not post inline and offsite as they slow down the loading of pages.
