Parts Swapping

[KTMLew]

Have a 42" Magnavox 42MF230A/37 plasma which needs several boards replaced. Not cost effective due to it's age/design issues (2006 model). Have found a broken screen LG 42 inch Plasma (42PC3DV) which supposedly has functioning boards. Any chance I can marry the two? Still waiting for a response from the seller as to what board manufacturer it uses.

Not a chance. The Magnavox uses a Samsung panel, the LG uses an LG panel.

Re: Parts Swapping

Sent the guy an email with my phone number...the silence is deafening...

So far my experience with craigslist is that if they don't list a phone number it's probably a scam.

Re: Parts Swapping

I dont even mess with craigslist unless they put a phone number in the ad. Where in NC are you located KTMLew? I'm in Hendersonville.

Re: Parts Swapping

DOH! To respond to craigslist through their system you have to use Windows Mail. I set it up and sent 4 messages. Just checked and all failed...so guess they weren't ignoring/scamming after all!!!

I'll try sending myself an email through my gmail and see if it works.

??? That doesn't make any sense.

The essence of email is any email program that can properly talk to an email server can send and receive email. I primarily use Thunderbird, but Gmail, and Yahoo! email also successfully respond to Craigslist ads.

Re: Parts Swapping

When I click a CL respond link it would take me to windows mail...which then crapped on my shoes because it wasn't set-up. I normally use yahoo. Windows Mail (new version of outlook express) does not work with the free version of yahoo we all use.

Just went back through the WM set-up and after that it popped a message asking if I wanted to send the 4 messages in my outbox...had just checked and there was no evidence of any emails being sent or drafted...I'm sooooooo confused.

I "resent" the 4 so will see if I hear anything? The message from WM did come through on my gmail...

Sorry for the OT rant...there are 3 LCD's listed with phone numbers that have broken screens too...

Re: Parts Swapping

Clicking on an email link will launch the default emailer which isn't whatever web email you're using. It's some local application like Outlook Express or Windows Mail.

Just copy the address and subject into your favorite email compose and proceed.

You are exactly right. That is what I was doing. Just decided to set-up Windows Mail and apparently didn't have something set correctly...

To better explain...next-door neighbor updated my laptop to Windows 7 Ultimate last week. It is a tweaked version which will only run Mozilla...so I'm still getting used to everything.

Sorry for the hi-jack of the board...I'm horrible about doing that.

Re: Parts Swapping

KTMLeW was the tv you were looking at on craigslist the one on connley springs. hehe.. hope not I scoped that one up... sorry...nice looking set. I think the z-sus board might be bad in it. I have not opened it up yet but when you turn the tv on it shows the green light for 3 flashes then goes to red. I will check the caps to see if any are out. Im in Hudson, NC.
