Re: Who's got tricks for detecting a cracked LCD in a dead set.
I enjoyed the 60PV250 plasma that I fixed last week because I got to identify the bad ICs with my scope. Ordinarily, my scope just collects dust. I sold it to an old friend yesterday for $300. Considering all the diodes and IGBTs, ICs and transistors I fried before stumbling across your thread, that was maybe $25. The TV was free because I found it outside the fence at a local e-waste drop off site. A $5 universal remote. That leaves me a $270 profit. If we count my time, then I lost money. But, if we put a value on what I learned from my mistakes, then I think I'm back at the $270 profit.
