    RCA 46LA45RQ 2 seconds to black

    Heres an RCA 46LA45RQ model with the common 2 seconds to black (similar to the 42" model I read about)

    However this one does use a separate inverter board for the backlights.

    24v holds steady, unplugged from inverter or not & backlight signal from main board is up and steady. I did the trick where I placed a ccfl on top of the outputs of the transformers and heres what I got in the photo. The top part of the inverter is not outputting!

    So I've narrowed it down to either bad ccfl lamps or the transformer and inverter board itself. Measuring the resistances of the transformers, the top one has a slightly lower resistance than the rest but not sure if its the problem. I'm about to swap the transformers and see if anything changes.

      Looks to be a bad transformer. I swapped the top one with the middle one, and the missing output seems to have followed it. So I'll be replacing the inverter board since its relatively cheap.

          Sony KDL-46BX450 Inverter Troubleshoot Logic
          by caseyjay_48
          I am currently on a troubleshoot of 46” Sony KDL-46BX450 tv. I came back from Washington to Texas on medical emergency and had to leave all my tools up there. All I have is a couple of screwdrivers and a dvm. I wish to ask the community a troubleshooting question. Please forgive stupid questions as meds I am taking produce brain fog.
          I have well maintained Sony KDL-46BX450. It went black one day. After turn-on, I get solid green light and Sony logo in screen center for about 1-2 seconds, then black. No blinking LEDs, no hissing. Flashlight test shows screen characters dimly viewable,...

          Dell u2311h 20000 seconds to black issue
          by ChIck3n
          So I've had this monitor for probably a decade now, and it's finally starting to fail. Began with a little sporadic flickering, then eventually started going black (power LED stays blue, can still see image on screen with flashlight). A power on/off fixes it for a bit, but then it happens again. Once it got to the point I was dealing with this every few minutes, I opened it up and just replaced all the caps (minus the big one) on the power board with new Panasonic ones. All the old caps tested fine on an ESR meter, and this worked for 5 days. But the screen just went black again today, so...

          Looking for help with a Viewsonic VP230mb where the backlight comes on only momentarily
          by lostone
          Hello, I came here after finding some similar questions asked on other monitors and hope someone here can help me get an ancient Viewsonic VP230mp (23" 4:3 LCD) back to working condition.

          First a little background, I have a background in computer and electrical engineering, and I'm smart enough to know I know nothing about LCD displays and how they work. For this topic I'm as green as they come.
          When the display is turned on the viewsonic logo displays in the uppper left for 2 seconds then the screen goes black, the power LED is green (on) and when a computer is connected...
