Hi folks, newbie here. My intention on a working monitor was to test for voltages on the various pins. Somewhere near the ribbon to the monitor, there we 2 caps. One was reading around 5V and the other was maybe about 12 or 14V . Cant really recall. Then it happened. The multimeter kissed the 5v cap and the other cap. Spark appeared. NOW... the part where the spark happened ( Caps near the Last ribbon cable ) is now totally white. 1/6 part of the screen is white. From my little understanding , i came to learn that there are transistors inside the TFT panel. Could that be a issue then? I have removed the caps and still see a short on the pads.

Hello there!
I was doing some usual stuff, browsing the internet, listening to music, coding, etc. and my computer froze. It looked like the website couldn't process the request (logging into the account, there was the loading symbol) and it took a few seconds, then my computer totally froze except for the mouse cursor. It lasted for about a minute and I got the BSOD. It happened yesterday and today (just now).
I managed to get the MEMORY.DMP content, but I don't really understand it. Could somebody help me?

I obtained a Sony XBR-49X900E with the following behavior:
-Powers on
-No Smart Core led code
-Backlight on when TV powered
-Display shows breathing/moving green blobs on a black background
Using the service manual, I decided to replace the TCON and see any changes. After replacing TCON the following behavior presented itself:
-Powers on
-Smart Core alternating orange/green pattern infinitely
-Backlight on when TV powered
-Display fully black
Following some threads I found here, I tested the following options.... -
Hello everyone,
Ive been a member of this forum since 2017 and always found so much useful informaiton that I never even had to ask questions myself. Now I have a TX-P50STW50 Panasonic Plasma TV on my desk that I just can not make sense of.
As a little disclaimer: English is not my first language so please bear with me in case I do not always use the correct technical terms.
So the previous owner of this set told me that the TV started clicking and restarting every now and then. These events got more frequent until it became completely dead. No reaction whatsoever.... -
Yes it's a 17 year old Panasonic plasma!
I was watching TV when there was a huge lighting strike nearby my house that shook the house. When that happened, the picture on the TV froze and the TV wouldn't turn off except by pulling the power cable. Now if you plug in the TV, it seems to turn on (it makes the turn on "clikcs" it always does, the red power light comes on but there is no picture, although I can see the back light around the edges. And the TV doesn't respond to the power button on the remote to turn off, and doesn't respond to the manual power button on the front... -
Hello, when I power on the TV there is a blue little spark inside the crt glass neck that increases and decreases in intensity with the focus, when focus pot is at minimum it is invisible when it is at max it is brighter and makes some dots on the screen appearing and disappearing randomly.
The picture is fine and the TV has no problems.
I've cleaned the crt plastic socket, pins and the spark gap contacts so I don't understand what could cause it
Could some more experienced member help me to troubleshoot it ?
Some picture attached for better...
