Samsung LN-T3242H Turns on no Backlight (Fixed)

[Neonpeon]

Putting this here for reference.

Symptoms:
Powers up, gets the little audio tune that plays.
Red LED Blinks 4 times, stays steady.
No Backlights.

Fix (For me).
Look at the inverter board. There are 3 fuses on the Inverter board.
Check all 3 fuses. In my case it was F3.
Here you can see I have a wire jumped across it until I can get the correct fuse.

Hope this helps someone.

What kind of fuse is it for F3. What fuse did you use to replace it.

I use axial lead PICO II fuse, you use amp meter to check the current draw at max brightness, then double up the current reading to get the fuse you need. Do not bother to remove the old fuse.

How do I test it at max brightness. Should I hook up a jumper just to turn the tv on so I can test it. Also to test the current do I set my multimeter to amps and put one probe on one side of the fuse and the other on the other pad to read it.
