Hi ALL!
I was given this TV by my father, it stopped working at his place of employment and since I've fixed some tvs/monitors in the past he said i could have it and maybe save it from a landfill or what not.
He told me the video went out, put the sound still worked. However, I plugged it into both my cable and PS3 and was not able to get any sound. I'm not sure how it was hooked up when it was working, and without the picture i can't be sure what input, etc. it's set on, but even cycling through the inputs didn't produce any sound.
I've tested the inverters (I think that's what they are, the two boards on either side of the TV in the back, covered by metal grates) and each point on the connecters tested at 12v.
Also, The TV DOES power on. The indicator light on the front lights up, and you can hear the gentle hum of power flow.
I've also looked at the capacitors and none of them seem to be visibly blown. Any suggestions on what to test next? I can post pics if requested, and I have a multimeter, though it doesn't test capacitors (On a side note, any suggestions for one that would, would be greatly appreciated. The ones I have looked at vary greatly in price and I haven't wanted to take the risk of purchase being an uninformed buyer.)
Like i said, the TV was free, so whatever I have to replace would, in the end, probably be a good deal for me.
Thanks in advance for any help!
