I have this TV in for repair, Original fault description was "Stuck in standby" and sure enough when we tried to power it up it would flash red a couple of times, then blue a couple of times then return back to red and the set was back in standby.
The owner of the set said all they did to make it go off was to catch the power cord of the TV as they walked past with their foot and that was it, the set went dead. It cannot have been any serious pull on the cord as there appears to be zero damage to either the cord or the entry point on the back of the TV set where the cable goes in. ( This was a mere co-incidence I think. and is not related to the cause of the fault? )
I removed the back of the TV and did the usual basic cold checks for short circuit power lines and the likes, after this I move on to isolating each part of the TV one at a time so disconnected the T-con board and tried powering the set.
It fired up no problem so to confirm it was the T-con board at fault, I plugged it back in to see the fault re appear but on firing it up again, the TV just worked, no fault, it came on with the picture exactly as it should.
All I had done was to power up the TV with no T-con board, then reconnect the T-con board and it worked, I cannot get the TV to reproduce the fault, What happened?
I can't figure out what went wrong. Any ideas why this has fixed itself? Please do explain if you can.
