          The MOV should measure open circuit. If it checks shorted, remove it. The power supply should work without it, but it should be replaced for continued protection.

            it's probably good, when they fail they usually explode and cover the area in soot!

                touch your meter leads metal tips together and see what happens ...

                    does your meter have a beeper ?

                        Let's get to the point, what is the power supply or the TV not doing?
                        Are you getting any dc Voltage at the cold side connectors?
                        BTW, in beeping mode when it beeps it is telling you you have continuity between point A and point B, it does not mean what you are testing is bad or shorted out.
                        Use Ohm mode if you looking for shorts, but you need to know characteristic of components you are testing first.

                          If your meter is not beeping, and is showing 1968 with the leads shorted on continuity mode, then the leads or the meter is faulty...

                          Unplug the leads and short the input sockets together with a piece of wire. You should get a beep and a low number, almost zero...

                            maybe the battery is low - i'v never had a meter that indicated "low battery" BEFORE it started showing bullshit readings!

                              How can I identify varistor which have been blew up?
                              by chth96
                              I mistakely pluged 100v japanese retro game console to 220v outlet.
                              So It seems that glass fuse and varistor have been blew up.
                              I can identify that voltage and ampere value of glass fuse(250V LF 1.6A),but It is impossible to identify varistor type in my sega saturn PSU(YAMAHA 35M07U XR258)
                              Is there any way to identify varistor type in my sega saturn PSU?
                              Any reply would be appreciated.

                              It seems that I finally found out what type this black varistor is. It is Panasonic ERZV05D221 “ZNR” Transient/Surge Absorbers (Type D) Varistor Voltage...

                              Measuring Resistance of Metal Oxide Power Resistor
                              by AlTaiRius
                              Can I measure a Metal Oxide Power Resistor the normal way?

                              When I put my fluke on resistance and measure across the legs (I've removed it) I get 22 kOhms. Reading the bands I'm expecting this to be a 330 mOhm +/- 5% resistor.

                              Am I reading it wrong or is it stuffed?...

                              Problem

                              This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                              How to clean Liquid Metal from under CPU?
                              by silver60618
                              Hi all, Im working on a board, that my customer brought to another shop, and smeared liquid metal all over the board.
                              The laptop powers on, then shuts off. I noticed traces of Liquid Metal near the edge of the CPU, but I fear some maybe underneath.

                              Has anyone ever tried Ultrasonic cleaning, or compressed air to remove or agitate the liquid metal?
