    uh oh I messed up.

    I got two caps with the wrong spacing. They are 7.50mm, holes are 5mm.

    Is there any issues if use them?

    Re: uh oh I messed up.

    They'll just sit off the PCB a little. If it's a single sided board and trace path allows, I would think about drilling a new hole 2.5mm further away, but I've done it before so the practice experience, right sized bits, and a drill press are at my disposal. Better to try these things on worthless PCBs before doing it on valuable ones.

      good I can live with them sitting off a bit, they are 1.49 each. I could order the correct ones but I'll never use the ones I have now.

        well that sucks, I still have the same problem, but if I unplug the inverter board the TV set stays on.


        Must be a bad transformer or CCFL.

        It's got 7 bulbs and 7 transformers so one of the two.

          It would be easier if you consolidated all issues about a particular repair to the same topic in the (TV?) repair subforum. Not enough info to know exactly what you're facing, presumably a 32" TV that shuts off or won't turn on?

          Initial guess w/o seeing pics or schematic is a shorted transistor, CCFL tubes are just full of gas and if they fail it's not a short circuit... but they're probably plugged into sockets right? So they can be unplugged.

            I did have a topic, no one answered and that was 3 weeks ago.

            When I plug it in, it works for 2-5 seconds, I see the Phillips logo on the screen then unit goes dead. But if I remove the inverter from the equation the set stays on. So that means something is wrong with the inverter or it's CCFL lamps.

              Bad lamps get dim or won't light, not excess current that shuts down the TV (not the problem). I don't even see pics of the inverter board. This is far too little info and far too fragmented. All needs presented at once in same place at same time or else people get disinterested, probably why you didn't get replies on the previous topic, there wasn't enough info to solve the problem or make suggestions.

                I shall have pictures of the inverter board up in a moment.
