Hello everyone. New to the forum here. Been loking for a solution but unable to find one. Someone sent me from rc forums and spoke highly of your community. I am really hoping someone can help me out.
The backstory....
I have an Olevia 265-t12 LCD that has been good for a few years. No known events but unexpectedly when I power on the TV, the Olevia splash screen comes on then the backlight goes out. Screen is dark.
I called out the Geek Squad and they came in, looked at the problem, said it was the inverter board and that they couldnt source the parts. Left and didnt charge me. I talked to a couple of shops around and they dont seem interested in looking at it because they cannot get parts. I was surprised I was dissuaded from bringing in the unit even from my mom and pop tv repair shop. I dont have many options....
So I have been searching the Internet and posting on forums and justanswer looking for some assistance. I check the Inverter and even replaced the master and the problem continues.
I am not sure how to troubleshoot this. I am not an EE but a network engineer so I am adept at troubleshooting process but can recognize when I am in over my head. When we get to LCD components....well I am in over my head.
Is there any kind soul out there that can help me isolate and ultimately fix the issue? It was a 2500 TV in 2008 and my wife will kill me if its dead already because getting this thing was a fight in the first place.
Anyway....I am losing hope and was hoping someone out there can give me some help and get this sucker showing my movies again. Help please?
