First post here. Howdy all.
You may want to skip to the highlighted "Post Rambling" section. Perhaps less is more.
Initial symptom - no action but constant 1 second interval of blinking green power light.
Found reset sequence and green power light was constant for maybe 10 seconds then set would "click" off. However, before dying, screen would flash about 6-8 times. Fairly uniform.
Disconnected 60V/12 V power leads to the inverter boards and using reset power would stay on. Hit the on/off button, set would shut down in a controlled manner and start back up when the on/off button was depressed. By start back up I mean the two red lights on the main board would flash.
When reset and on, I plugged the right side inverter boards in at the inverter board (three wires from the main power board) and a flash at the connector was seen and instant shut down. Repeated routine for left side (right side disconnected) and same.
Pulled inverter boards, farted around in full layman style with an ohm meter and found nothing weird.
- mosfet thingies (noob here) were all consistent when 4 legs were tested among each other. Two of the four connectors had full continuity, let's say #1 and #3. No other hint of internal breakdown. All were consistent.
- Transformers were all consistent. Around 190 ohms.
- Single fuse on each side - top inverter board - had continuity.
- Resistance among all board lamp contacts was the same - 3080 ohms - unless I tested a pair that were associated with a single transformer. Then resistance was 190.
Put boards back on but left them unconnected from lamps. Plugged in, all is good (main board two flashing lights) Pushed inverter boards onto lamp connectors after five minutes and nothing happens. It does not die but no flashing screen.
POST RAMBLING
Turn set off and back on and lamp flickering pattern is completely different after removing and re-installing inverter boards. Example - Stays on for a few seconds, blinks a few times, stays on for five seconds, then stops. No circuit breaker hard shut off. Turn off then turn on, different sequence of flashes. One time went thru a flashing set and sustained (five second) on, stopped and then came back to life for another one or two sustained multi second attempts to stay lit.
I do see six horizontal bars of light with an information box in upper right hand corner. Set has 22 connectors for lamps on each side. It is never as bright as when working properly.
Caps are not puffy.
Direction? Lamps?
