Hi
i have a 42" LCD tv that recently decided to display green and then started to give artefacts on the screen. I looked inside and found a blown cap on the power supply. tho the power output was good, but i replaced the cap and then decided to do all the secondary caps on the outputs, i tried the tv again but no change to the dodgy picture, i then changed the T-con board and again no issue and so assumed it was the main signal board, I tried the old heatgun over the signal board incase it was a dry joint but no use, and so went to order a new main board. However when i tried the old board one last time i didn't get any picture at all, i get the standby light and it flashes when i press power but nothing.
So i measured voltages - I have 5v where it says 5v out (this was 4.8ish before i changed the caps) but i have only 3.84 volts on the 12v rail, when i press the power button there is noise in response - a high frequency noise that makes me think there is activation of the transformer, but no change in voltage, there is a on off lead from psu to motherboard but this has about 0.1v on it in standby and then goes upto 0.4-0.5v when the tv is turned on. I am questioning if the capacitors i have used have caused the issue if they might not be low esr enough? but there is also a possiblity that the old cap blew because of a fault.
There is a repair kit listed on repair sites for this tv that mentions lots of resistors but having had a look with my mm they all seem to be fine to me.
Can anyone advise me where to go next with testing this?
