CD components on the t-con.

(Note: For all the above, measure the voltage across the device, red and black on either pin (doesn't matter which but on different ones!), and from each end to ground, negative lead on ground. The across-device and one end to ground should be the same, with the exception of a sign difference.)

So... TV is fixed! Decided to try a replacement main/AV board and it worked! Sadly, it came after we hard bought a new TV in desperation but now we have to 40" TV's... one for each eye makes it 3D right?

Anyway, so much for the "TV engineer report" saying it was T-Con. Nothing wrong with it.

Big thanks to the help I received here, but I should also plug http://flattvparts.co.uk who were very helpful and supplied me both T-Con and Mainboard.
