    Daewoo DLV_32C7SMB Defective backlight

    Have confirmed that the inverter is putting out juice (connected a small fluro tube from a hand lantern across the output and it lights OK).
    I've never delved into the CCFL tubes of a panel so I decided I've got nothing to lose - it only cost me $25 and if I get it going it will be an OK TV.
    The panel is a type LTA320WT-LF2; a Samsung I gather.
    So how are the tubes wired in these? I gather it must be in series if one tube has taken out the whole lot? Any advice regards what I should be looking for as I dismantle this unit?

    if that's 32inch then the back probably comes off for parallel backlights.
    only one tube needs to be screwed for the invertor to shutdown.

    got a foto of the invertor?

      I've stripped the panel from the rest of the hardware, but I've never done one of these before and I think I've come at it the wrong way around. I came aat it from the front and had separated the LCD panel and then the laminations under that and then I could see some sort of diffuser for the lamps. So I've put that all back to avoid contamination of the screen. Is there some secret I'm missing?

        on looking at the invertor i'm not sure now
        is the panel edge-lit from the top & bottom?

          Don't worry STJ. Looks like it's a write off. This panel appears to use tubes that are integrated into a plastic envelope. No access to individual tubes. Picture attached.
          Time to scrap out the useful boards!

            i suspect you can strip that.

            why not experiment with 12v led strips - the type that comes on reels!

              Yes, you are probably right. It would have been a very good experiment. Before I saw your suggestion I'd already stripped it and dumped it. Only so much space in my garage! But if I have the same situation again I think I would give it a go.

                Defective BIOS chip
                by Pize92
                Hello everyone.
                I have a problem.
                The BIOS chip on my Lenovo Legion 5 17ACH6H appears to be defective. I wanted to read the chip first with the ch431a programmer and then with the t48 and create a dump. However, it always threw an error during verification.
                I then bought a new BIOS chip from Aliexpress and loaded an existing dump onto the chip. With the corresponding DMI.
                Unfortunately, the laptop now keeps restarting.

                My question is, can you simply use the DMI from a foreign dump, or is the motherboard completely lost due to the defective BIOS chip?

                How do I find a defective RAM chip
                by rumpumpel1
                I have a ThinkPad T14 which always finds an error at a very specific address during a RAM test. I therefore believe that exactly one of the RAM chips on the mainboard is defective. How do I find this defective RAM chip?

                B&K 707 tube tester. I need help.
                by DCJack
                Hi everyone!

                I managed to get my hands on a rough condition B&K 707 for "the best price" because it was not working. It's my first tube tester and I'm really wanting to get it up and running. I downloaded that manual that has the schematics and tested every resistor and capacitor and replaced the ones that failed. I replaced the missing 83 rectifier tube with a used but tested-good one. I also have a number 80 rectifier tube that I have used in tests before I found the 83 tube.

                Initially I noticed that I was not getting the red on-light to turn on, but it...

                "First Experience" with a CFL BL Samsung TV
                by edugimeno
                Hi There!
                I just wanted to share experiences trying to fix for the first time a CFL backlight Tv. It is samsung LE32A336J1N

                The issue it was showing was: As soon as I turned it on, the BL would turn on/off for 2-4 times and them off definitely

                I suspected the BL voltage generator or the LED strips, at least until I opened it up, cause I had never seen these TV's

                When I opened it I found a very robust TV with a complex chassis formed by mutiple arms tied together with screws. There was a large PS board with several transformers for backlight,...

                defective Embedded Controller MSI GF63
                by Patrick501
                Hello,

                I located a defective EC (IT557VG-128)on a MS-16R81 2.0 board of a MSI Thin GF63 12U. The board doesn't have any voltages except the 19V power line.
                Some Caps and resistors around the EC show less than 2 ohms. One of them is a 3V rail. When I inject 1V@1A the EC heats up.
                I'm pretty sure I can't just buy and replace it since it probably needs the correct firmware on it.
                Does anyone of you guys know?...
