    there are lots of things that fail in microwaves that arent related to the high voltage capacitor.
    newer machines may not even have one if they are invertor-driven.
    I don't mean the voltage.... i mean the housing... u'll never now if this thing is closed as it was before.... there is radiation inside... thats what i meant to say... take car...

      the radiation is in the oven cavity, the only times you need to worry is if you mess with the magnetron or the door seal.

      the back of microwaves is not sealed/screened

        Im aware of the dangers, but I wont be touching the megnetron. I only need the keypad/lcd pcb. I've opened it before, 2 years ago, but I didnt have time to fully examine it.

              So I found out what the problem was. 1 LED was blown, creating high resistance. Took a long time to desolder the LCD Screen. Got there in the end.
              I ended up replacing ALL 10 Green LED's with Bright White LED's. LOL.
              Works sweet.
              Thanks for all who chipped in to help.

                replacing all 10 was a wise move,
                i found that if you replace an led in anything the brightness/colour usually doesnt match the old ones

                  Sharp 80” long short flash backlight error - Help
                  by Superbee_dad
                  Hello Sharp TV experts
                  Our Sharp LC-80LE642U displays one short one long flash error code which is a backlight error. I went into service mode and there were 8 lamp error counts recorded. I reset the count to 0 and did a reset. The last monitor error cause was 16 B00014639:12. 16 is the code for backlight error. I tried to power the tv up but went back into error mode.

                  > I checked voltages on the power supply board and they all check out .. including 3.28 volts at the error pin.
                  > There is power to the cpu and T-CONN and no faults found there. The cpu has a flashing...

                  Sharp LC-58Q7330U No Backlight
                  by Misterfixit
                  This set has the known reputation of failed led backlights. The set does not turn on, but when plugged in, the power led stays lit for about 5 seconds followed by two short blinks and then it repeats itself. While shinning a flashlight on the screen, you can make out the Sharp logo, then it goes out and repeats the cycle. I measured some voltages across the led backlight connector. What has me puzzled is that when I place the negative lead of my vom on the led backlight pin connector (in which the black wire going to the leds was), I measure as high as -228volts, and then it falls to -95 volts...

                  by triplefour
                  this tv is throwing me for a loop. do samsung tvs no longer have the backlight self test feature built into the power supply?
                  i tested the backlight with my LED tester and it lights up both strips. one of them reads 100v and the other reads 63.7v.
                  unplugged mainboard from power supply but left backlight plugged in, and then plugged psu wall power in. expected to see backlights light up but see nothing.
                  according to how ive diagnosed in the past, this would almost always be a bad power supply. replacement power supply was cheap like 20$ from ebay. but still i get not even...

                  sharp LC-50LB601U No backlight
                  by Misterfixit
                  I have a sharp LC-50LB601U that has no backlight. It starts up fine, and has sound, however, I can only see the screen using a flashlight. I took the tv back off and measured voltages at the power supply connector CN-8601. As you can see by the picture, the led connector has 2 sets of 2 red wires and 2 sets of black wires going to the led backlights. Between each set of black wires and corresponding red wires, I measure 30 volts (pins 1 and 4) and 30 volts from pins 8 and 12. From ground to each set of red wires ( pins 1 and 12 to ground), I measure 35 volts. This voltage seems very low compared...

                  Guide me through repairing a Dell p2210f LCD ccfl backlight monitor
                  by DanPoka
                  I bought this p2210f dell monitor to fix. Schematic is the same as p2210.
                  Behaviour is that monitors comes on but then backlight switches off almost instantly. If I look with flashlight I can still find the "No signal message". So definitely a backlight issue. Trying to advance the issue I proved that the protection circuit is switching off the backlight by shorting out C3 and resistor to disable the INL chip then re enable by removing the short.
                  This is where it gets interesting. When I disassembled the monitor to solder leads on c3 capacitor I noticed the backlight flickered...
