Emerson LC320EM81 Dim Backlight

[fxdfireman]

Morning,

I got a 32" LCD Emerson that powers up and works fine but the sceen is dim. I can go into the menu and turn the brightness all the way up but still is dim. I seem to have power going to the backlight circuit to turn it on and the backlight dim circuit has about 3.2volts on it.

Any ideas or things to check would be most appreciated.

Thanks

check out my thread i think in your 3rd pic the red and white wires at the bottom at shorting out because they look like they got hot and might have burnt through the plastic casing causing your problem. check out my thread it is a sylvania but the setup is close. post back if that is the problem and that fixed it and if it didn't fix it still post back anyways please.

wow i didn't look at the rest of the board. it looks like a bunch of things got hot a bunch of diodes and resistors. you might have to change all of them and find out what caused them to get so hot. it's a good thing you are a fireman you might of had to use your skills to put that 1 out if it went up in flames!

my mistake your pic probably made it look burnt from the shadow. check this out in your picture circled in blue.
