Hello,
So far:
1.tested all but 3 .1uf caps(tops are flat) with Cap88a, all tested test good. Cap88 cannot go down to .1uf. All caps are Nichicon 105c.
2. tested all diodes, test good off board.
3. tested what I know for sure are fuses and all are good on smps, Tcon.
4. Mainboard-either there are none or I do not know what the designation for the fuse(s) are. No F, PF,CF or any F's at all.
5. Screen has no faint image when viewed in dark room/flashlight.
6. Backlighting is all on.
7. No whinning noise. Just the normal "click" when turned on.
8. No dry holes or broken solder conns @ 10x magnification. (both sides main, smps,Tcon, top side of tuner.
9. Was not able to test caps on TV tuner due to board intentionally soldered to lower metal housing but all are flat. No discoloration, blow-out leads hanging there either. Wasn't sure about how to disassemble this assembly so I left it.
Things that seem odd to me:
A:Two of the large 820uf 200v caps appear to be rounded a bit on top, like 1mm at the crown. I desolded one and tested it off the board and it tested good. Put it back on to check other things as the caps were the second thing I zeroed in on, 1st was the fusing. The third large cap 470uf 200v is flat as a pancake(tests good).
B: Voltages of pin connectors when stndby and on.
I looked alot for same model showing same symptoms online and found 1 iffy post that it is a mainboard issue and to replace the mainboard to correct this condition. There are a couple stating to change out the Tcon. Trying to get more experienced input here as it's obvious by reading posts here there are pros here.
Any help appreciated. I'm new to this stuff ...I just happen to get a $30 deal on a new cap88, fluke and weller solder station compliments of California penal system-they train cons to fix tvs and set them loose to sell the tools they gave them in training.
