Re: 42px5d-eb no picture

TV powered on. You can usually access the leads topside, but if you have to solder wires then you can do it that way too, just make sure to use good insulated wires because of the high voltage.

and I just connect either probe to them when on
just for clarification theres no risk of shock is there bit scared on that one lol

Re: 42px5d-eb no picture

You are dealing with potentially 150V DC, so yes, there is a shock hazard. All LCD and plasma televisions present a shock hazard when live testing, if you are not confident please DO NOT continue it is not worth losing your life over.

If the panel ain't lit, it ain't consuming power, so the sustains won't heat up.
