Hi,
I've read a few threads on here about other members having issues with this set, and fixing them. I thought I'd give it a go. A neighbour was throwing this out so I salvaged it.
Issue: Plug-in and it turns on for around 3 seconds. It turns off with 3 blinking lights, no display.
So far:
1) I have checked the fuses and they are all fine.
2) I have unplugged the other boards from the main central motherboard, and the symptom does not change.
3) I have soldered in new capacitors using a kit from ebay (before I realized that badcaps.net sells them!). Symptom remains the same. (Tried number 2 again, and also the same).
Next Actions: I have read that the mosfets and temp sensors are potential failure points, but I don't want to cloud anyone's advice by saying that. How should I proceed with diagnosis? (I have downloaded the manual as in other threads, but it's not making a whole lot of sense to me at present).
Tools I have: Multimeter, Batteries, test lights, wires, soldering iron etc.
Thanks for any help in advance.
