Picked this up for $10 and got it home and had amber led when plugged in and blue led when power button pushed but no sound, display, or back lights.
Diode Z9 was good but replaced it anyway just to make sure and then saw a post here on this TV and did find a surface mount diode on bottom of power board that was open. Upon removal it was in two pieces. Had the day off so I went to radio shack and got a zener that was close to specs but it was not sm so I just bent the leads and soldered it on and now have back lights but still no sound or display.
Just wondering where I should go from here. Checked fuse on t-con and it is good. Checked main and found one cap that looked like it was never soldered in on one side so I took care of that. But did not help.
These are a bugger to dissasemble just to get to main, so just looking for a little insight. Thanks
