    Westinghouse ltv37w2 2 seconds to black

    I started this journey here with what I thought were bad / shorted caps on the inverter board: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=28489
    Hopefully my notes here can help someone in the future with their TV. As I note in the post, it looked like the capacitor shorted against the inverter transformer and went bad.
    What actually happened was a CCFL tube went bad and it seems like that caused the voltage to find a place to go, eg the cap.

    Fast forward to me disassembling the whole device; it finally occurred to me to check the CCFLs - the 5th one up from the bottom doesn't light.

    At this point, I have a totally dissasembled TV, two good power boards (bought one trying to test), and all the other boards are good. I'd like to use the TV without spending much more money on it (after seeing the 720mm replacement CCFLs cost $20 + shipping I'm not sure).

    Does anyone have a suggestion to get this running again? If there's a way to run without the bad tube I'd be willing to try it.

    Thanks again!

      LG 37LG5020 and the tale of 2 seconds to black.
      by DrankinSAW
      I bought an LG 37LG5020 with a very strange issue.. it turns on, the display looks fine, but still, after 2 seconds, the TV shuts the backlight off..

      However, if i leave it plugged in for 20-40min.. the time it takes to shutdown the backlight, doubles (to 4 seconds)..

      I bought a new inverter, set to arrive on December 13th
