Phillips 47pfl7422d/37 Left side dim

[X5-452]

Hi All,

I've done a bit of reading regarding other users who have had the same problem. The caps on the slave inverter were clearly blown soI went ahead and recapped both the master and slave inverters using these caps.. However the left side still appears to be dim. (The right side is working fine).

I considered trying to use the master inverter on the left side to see the CCFL is still working properly. But the cables aren't long enough for me to do so. Now I'm left with the option of trying to obtain replacement inverters from eBay. Any other suggestions before I sink more money into repairing this set? What are the odds that the lamp on the left has simply died?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Most likely something else is blown there, not just the caps. FETs are OK?

No visual burn marks that i noticed. I guess I would need to go back and test them with a multimeter. But if the mosfets are bad I'd most likely replace the inverters.

I ended up getting a replacement slave inverter off of ebay and recapping it. The TV has been working great ever since.
