Hi,
I've been reading the many threads on Olevia TVs and am now caught up on them all (I think), and also made progress on the problem TV. At first, it wouldn't respond to the front panel buttons, blue led was always on; I found only one bulged cap in there, and replaced it
(in the 5V section) but no change - then I touched up 4 or 5 solder joints that had kind of an oxidized look to them (as opposed to the mostly shiny look of the rest of 'em) and it started coming on when I next pushed the PWR button (hooray!).
Then I could see what the former owner meant by it having kind of a spider web look to it (I try to attach pics), I guess the display itself is toast, but the rest of it may be good for parts.
It's still a little odd to turn it off though, usually won't turn off right away when i push the power button if it's only been on a little while, the longer it's been on the more normal it seems to work.
Thanks in advance for any ideas, suggestions as to parting it out or tests for reliability.
Mike
