    Twitter is a useful tool. It forces those with nothing useful to say to demonstrate that in 137 characters or less. We don't have that limitation here.

    I read your post three times before I finally figured out what you were trying to ask. An intelligent use of the shift key, and of punctuation would help considerably.

    You can swap any boards which have the same board number between sets. I'm not sure who made your TVs; most hits from Googling Vimax refer to a herbal 'male enhancement' product.

        Good to know. That is a common configuration.

        Notice that the power supply must be readjusted for the panel - voltages are on a label on the panel. When testing move the Y-sustain and Y-buffers as a unit from one panel to the other; a bad Y-buffer can blow the Y-sustain.

            Help with trying to fix phone that is not charging (Pics inside)
            by SluggerB
            I have two TCL A30 phones.

            Old Phone: This phone worked fine for years, then stopped charging If you plugged a charger into it, the phone would make the charging sound, the phone would tell you it is charging, but the battery icon would not have the charging symbol in it and the battery would not charge.I tried new battery, same behavior.

            New Phone: Works fine, bought as a donor board to try and repair Old Phone

            My interest here is to repair Old Phone, using components parts off New Phone if needed. I am not interested in replacing Old Phone with New Phone....

            How Can I test PWM DM0365R?
            by chth96
            Hello
            I have power adaptor(220V/input, 12V 1.2A/output) which has symptom of fluctuating output DC voltage between 11.5V-12.2V.
            So I opened its plastic case and when switched it on, I heard constant tik tik sound from inside its PCB.
            I measured DC voltage between negative and positive pin of the largest capacitor(400v 10uf) and it was measured contant 300V.
            I also measured ESR value of all capacitors and I noticed that one of capacitor(KMG 16v 470uf), which located in the secondary side, have high ESR value(10 ohm),So I replaced it with same specification NXH capacitor....

            test active pfc power with lamp test
            by khelane
            Hello
            I have a big problem and that is that in some cases when repairing active pfc power supplies I cannot work with a test lamp. I can only get help with 5 volts standby and for starting and starting I have to work without a lamp and this way there is a possibility of parts exploding and other parts being added.
            Sometimes with a multimeter test the problems can be reduced to some extent, but I had several cases that had to be tested on and online and recently two varistors exploded. They had terrible resistance because the power supplies were over 800 watts.
            Is there a way...

            Samsung UN60EH6000F Black Screen, Backlight and Sound Good. Power Cycle Returns Picture
            by Mgiffune
            I have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started β€˜fading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. However, this time the picture looks fine for about 10-15 minutes, then fades back. If I power cycle the TV, the display reappears, for another 10-15 minutes, then fades black again. Repeatable ever time.

            I ordered a supposedly β€˜new' Tcon board this time, and
            ...
