Hi all!
I just got this, presumably defunct TV for free - and it seems that the backlight works, and the TV turns on just fine. No image ever appears, and i can't seem to get it to work with either VGA, SCART or RCA video. (RCA+SCART seems to be connected to another board than VGA and DVI). I opened it up, and i can't find any obvious bulging caps.
I found another thread describing what i think may be the same as my problem: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=17990
So, I took out the power board, and it seems there is brown marks around both sides of one of the diodes - is this normal or do you think this is where the problem is? Look at the attached pictures.. :-)
The power board is a PSM192-240, and i found a replacement @ ebay for about $50 incl. shipping. Should i buy that and hope that the power board is what needs replacing? (I'm in Norway and nowhere near a radioshack - so it's hard to just go out and buy the right components! :-( )
Thanks a lot! :-)
