Bush LCD27TV006HD 2 secs to black

Re: Bush LCD27TV006HD 2 secs to black

The spare inverter I am using to test the lamps has 8 (16 lamps) outputs whereas the 27" only has 7 (14 lamps) so there is a spare connection on the inverter, the tv is doing the 2 secs to black, I guess protection cct due to 2 lamps being absent. I have an energy saver cfl lamp I intend to hook up but I think the arrangement is a little different to the one in Budm's 'Inverter tester using old CFL' thread, his cfl lamp is connected directly to the board, blue and black wires, whereas my arrangement means I'd need 2 test lamps, one each for where his 2 wires go and the 2 gnd's to the 2 pin connecter at the bottom of my inverter board. I hope that is correct, I'm sure it is.

Hooked up 2 11w energy saver lamps to the empty connector but still '2 secs to black'.

May have to get 1 or 2 more to replace 1 or 2 at a time until it stays on to find a faulty lamp which its looking like thats what the fault might be.

OK so update.

It appears that both the 3rd and 4th lamps are out.

So I now know whats at fault its just sourcing a couple of replacement lamps, I have a few from 32" etc.. but unfortunately none for a 27".

You could probably use 26" bulbs.

Re: Bush LCD27TV006HD 2 secs to black

Erm, sadly don't have any of those either.

Shall have to see how much they are where I can source them from.

Even smashed 26"/27" sets will have a few good bulbs.

Yeah, I may have to hold onto this one until a cheapo 26/27" comes along.

Cheers Tom I appreciate all your help!
