    Panasonic PT-52LCX66 burnt lamp connector (socket) - replaceable?

    SUMMARY

    The Panasonic PT-52LCX66 has a lamp module that fails after 1-3 years and must be replaced. It slides into a cavity in the front of the TV which essentially rails it into line with the lamp connector, a two port power connector. My 4th lamp (in about a decade) just died, but this one burnt the connector in the process. I want to know if it's possible to replace the TV side of the connector, as the charred remains are pretty much unusable.

    THINGS TESTED

    Nothing, really. I had to yank and pull and strain and swear to get the lamp to slide out, and then found the charred connector as an explanation why. I scraped off some of the charred remains and found that a) a hole had been burnt in the tubular connector case and b) I doubt the insides are usable, and c) even if they did conduct power they'd probably just burn out immediately due to the mangling of the connector.

    I'm attaching pictures which make it clear 1) which part I'm talking about and 2) what happened to it. I apologize for some blurriness; hard to jam camera inside cavity to take picture. The first picture (black) shows the TV lamp connector (female socket inside a male housing?), the second picture (brown) shows the lamp side (male pin inside the outer (female) housing). It's the black one that I would need to replace.

    PROBLEM

    Lamp connector burnt and mangled.

    QUESTION

    Can I just purchase a replacement connector, disassemble the TV, remove the old one and slap the new one onto the wires and re-seat? If so, any idea what part number it is or where to find it? The service manual doesn't appear to call it out (it calls it "Lamp Connector" in the diagrams but that name doesn't show up in the parts list).

    Any help is appreciated!

    A2338 water damage with burnt charge port connector
    by TheNuclearOption
    Hi everyone, I bought a damaged a2338 MacBook pro with water damage and I'm hoping to learn how to fix it. I've worked on electronic for a long time for never attempted repairing water damaged components. The charge port connection on the motherboard along with the USBC connector is burnt. I'm hoping this is worth my effort and I'm not wasting my time. I've sourced some parts but first I was wondering if there was a way to check to see if it was Beyond repair if there was a fried CPU. Is there anything I should check before I order parts?

    HANNSG Hi221 -- 2 secs to black feat. CCFL flicker & "burn" marks on power board
    by ttmi100x
    Greetings everyone,


    I have a HANNSG Hi221 monitor that exhibits two seconds to black issues (backlight goes off, display is still on as confirmed by shining a flashlight on it) with some additional oddities...


    The monitor failed on me with a standard "2 seconds to black" some time ago prompting me to initially replace most of the electrolytic capacitors (some of them were bulging/leaking).
    Things kinda sorta worked for a night, then the problem returned along with some flickering and "buzzing" noises.

    Upon closer inspection...

    Help identifying connector for ASUS 4090 Strix RGB LED connector
    by 5mall5nail5
    Hi All -

    I had replaced my ASUS 4090 Strix cooler with a waterblock and put the stock cooler on the shelf. Was moving it and snagged my sweater on the connector and pulled the wires out of the pins on the RGB connector. I tried to get them back on but its too small so I opened the stamped pins and tried to solder but its not a good repair and the wire broke on reinstallation.

    Looking to replace the connector on the cable side and get pins to crimp onto a new cable. Bought random JST and such but nothing is correct. Can anyone help identify the connector and possibly matching...

    DELL XPS15 2019 P56F SPK connector burnt!
    by drscoot
    Never saw this before, the speaker connector on the mainboard is half melted down! User says he was using a hdmi monitor when the laptop broke down. Power adapter led is the only live I see currently, 19,5V at the mainboard connector but nothing else. No voltages at the coils.
    What could possible cause that burnt connector?
    Idea's what to check?...
