OK, that looks more reasonable, I would suspect the transformer which has an open winding.

Avoid using lcdparts.net; same stuff cheaper on the 'bay:

Nice! I guess I will try that. Thanks for all the help. Is there any way I can test the rest of the bulbs without that bad transformer? Can I disconnect the set that is connected to it? I would like to make sure the rest of the screen is good before dumping any money into it.

Re: Proview rx-276 2600

Not really practical, the best you can do is unplug all the bulb connectors except one, plug the TV in, and watch for a flash from each bulb. Repeat for each bulb. But it's really rare to have a failed transformer and bulb at the same time, and failed bulbs nowadays are very rare -- only much older LCD TVs are having issues with them.

ok good to know. I got the transformer in question off and here are the results:

It's dead, Jim.

If you look carefully, you can sometimes see a burn mark on one set of windings.

lol...ya I looked but can see nothing out of the ordinary. I didn't know that if one is down, none of them will go.

With an inverter it's either all the bulbs working or none working.
