Working on this tv for a neighbour.
It's the tv their kids use to play the Xbox on.
Symptoms. Stuck in standby.
Powersupply - dreaded vestel 17pw26-4
Originally had a few obvious caps bulging. Replaced and the power supply appears to be working. All voltages ok 24 volts to the inverter etc.
Tv still remains the same turns on looks like will power up then back to stand by.
Unplugging the inverter and the tv powers up steady voltage and runs fine. Has sound etc
Looks like and inverter problem. Or possibly has a bulb drawing too much current.
Don't mind replacing the inverter as can get one for a only few quid.
But will this resolve the issue?
What's the best way to test to see if it's the inverter or bulb issue?
I also have not found a way to jump the back lights on without the mainboard as I don't know the pin layout.
Any advice would be great.
