SONY KDL40S2000 - Broken LCD lights up and unit shuts off - All Boards Still Good?

[kburks1230]

I have this unit with a broken LCD screen. I power it up and the tv illuminates for a second, I hear a tiny sizzle from the bottom left side(looking from the back), then it clicks off like its shorted.

I was hoping to sell the boards on eBay. Can I assume they are all good? Is the shutdown just from the broken screen? Can the broken screen short other boards?

It is probably due to a bulb being broken inside the set. You can't be certain that all the boards are good until it fires up and you can at least see some image. How do you know, for example, that the previous owner did not smash the TV in frustration because it was faulty?

Yes I see... I would never do that! You are very helpful Tom! I just bought 9 broken/nonfunctional TVs. Not the best batch I'm finding...
