    VO42l fhdtv10a flickering backlight after inverter swap

    Hey all.

    My back light went out again on my vo42l fhdtv10a.

    A year ago the Slave inverter went out and I replaced it with a used one on ebay. This time I took it apart and it looked like the master's integrated circuit blew.

    I bought a kit from ShopJimmy that came with both the Master and the Slave. Its an inverter from a newer model but they say its interchangeable.

    I installed both and now my TV is working again but the back light is flickering. It seems to stay on but the brightness pulses/flickers enough that its hard to watch. After playing around with it a bit today i realized that if I turn the brightness up from 85% to 100% then the flicking stops and everything is normal.

    Does that sound like I have some bad inverters or could there be something else going on? I'm trying to decide if I should send the parts back before my return window is up.

    Thanks All
