    Light bulb test for 50" plasmas

    I've replaced some psu fets on LG50 pc1 plasma. The boards passed the 2 100wat bulbs in series test on the bench. Fitted back into tv but can't get passed the red standby stage still with bulbs fitted. I'm really reluctant to plug in mains directly so I was wondering if I could increase the bulbs enough to make the set power up even if it just gives a dim picture. I was thinking of 5 x100watts in parallel. Has anyone managed this?

    The tv set label has 500 watt rating.

      Ampeg PF-350 bass amplifier head repair
      by JoelJ
      Hello everyone!

      I recently bought a broken Ampeg Portaflex PF-350 bass amplifier head in unknown condition. As it turns out, it's completely dead. Tried powering it on with the dim bulb tester, dead short.
      I have attached the schematic below.
      What I found:
      TH1 is cracked visibly but measures 6 ohms. Will replace it but should be okay for testing for now.
      Either Q1 or Q2 was dead shorted. Don't remember which one but one of them. Both are FQPF12N60C. I replaced both with SiHP18N50C to test as I had these on hand. They are the same package, pinout, mosfet type....

      LUMIMAN Smart Bulb IC ID?
      by ezenia
      Hi,

      I have a LUMIMAN Smart Bulb that suddenly stopped lighting one day. The bulb is still detected in the app, but won't light. I've probed around and nothing seems to look off with any of the diodes, caps or resistors. The Bluetooth/Wi-Fi module seems to be working as it's still detected in the app. I even tried deleting and re-pairing the bulb (it didn't light, but I was still able to follow the pairing instructions), it re-paired fine, but still no light.

      In diode mode, the LEDs all light up when probed so I'm guessing this means the LEDs themselves are OK. I was expecting...

      Lithonia Lighting versus Light of America Compact Fluorescent product quality
      by sam_sam_sam
      I have a Lithonia Lighting 65-Watt Gray Hardwired Compact Fluorescent

      I also have back when Light of America had these light bulbs available for yard lights

      The issue with Light of America was the blast boards had all most certain board failure while bulbs hardly ever fail

      While the Lithonia lighting fixture has all most certain bulb failure

      So I have modified the Lithonia lighting fixture to accept the Light of America light bulb and see how long this will last

      I have only had this light fixture for not more than a year if it...

      Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
      by Tynan Dill
      I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

      Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

      I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

      The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

      With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

      Assuming...
