    Oops! And all it needed was a fuse and a wire replaced.

    Yeah, I did this. It was a Polaroid FLM-3232. I got it from someone who tried to fix it but failed. It had a badly burnt wire on the harness leading to the inverter. I'm pretty certain the inverter was replaced already. So, I dropped a TV with a cracked screen a couple days ago and hit this one, but I wasn't sure if it hit the screen or the housing. I kind of knew, but was hoping for a bit of luck. At least I fixed it.

      Oh, and one bad cap I forgot I'd replaced.

          With a few more cracks and lines, it might not be mistaken for modern art!

              Lol, I've thought some had artistic qualities before.

                  too bad

                  Bummer! I guess you can still try to sell it as-is and see if anyone else can use the parts.

                      Accidents happen. It's prettier than the last cracked screen I looked at that still fired up.

                          I support my hobby by selling parts anyway, but I had someone looking for a 32" so this was nearly sold. I have another Polaroid which looks identical except it has a DVD player. If it's the same panel, I may switch it since I can't get the DVD player to work anyway.

                              This is really caused by not having enough room to work. I have 19 TVs in my 12'x13' living room, 3 in the hallway, 1 50" plasma in the kitchen leaning against the fridge, 3 in the shop (which is really a converted 8'x10' bedroom), and parts everywhere. I'm moving next month to a place that's about 4 times this size, plus a 1 car garage.

                                  Heater element wire type instead of a fuse when troubleshooting a short circuit DIY
                                  by sam_sam_sam
                                  I was Ollie today which is a close out / surplus outlet store I do not go in there to often because you find things that you should not be tempted by but that is a another story

                                  I saw a small space heater that used a wire type of heater element which I been looking for a while but not really hard mind you but when I saw this I grabbed it I going to go back tomorrow and buy the last one that is like the one I bought today because I need the heater element and the ceramic insulators and more of heat element wire because this one has two different wattage settings one 1300 watts ( tap...

                                  A funny fuse story – Lumix LX100 II
                                  by corrize
                                  Hello, I disassembled this dead camera, and found this WTF… Two fuses soldered one above the other !
                                  I was pretty sure nobody touched it before, but that can't be from factory. There is flux, and capacitor is probably missing.
                                  The other weird thing : the fuses are « G » fuse : (0.75A – 8V), seems very low. The original fuse should be « O » : (32V 2,5A).
                                  There is « O » mark beside. All fuses have the same mark letter on main board. So, I can deduce it's a « O » fuse.
                                  And this correspond to the issus I saw : when I plug the battery, I measure the voltage dropping...

                                  HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
                                  by momaka
                                  Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

                                  Samsung UE46ES8000 Blown fuse but no other signs of short
                                  by jesterace
                                  Hi I wonder if anyone might be able to steer me in the right direction. I have this Samsung UE46ES8000 TV and it went bang during use. The main fuse on the PSU board is open. I've checked every diode/mosfet/transistor I can see and nothing appears to be short to cause the fuse to go. The DC output of the bridge rectifier is not short either. I've seen online that some of these models are known for having their PFC mosfet or other mosfets shorting and blowing the fuse but i'm not seeing that here. If anyone aware of these models having any issues to cause this? I'm reluctant to just replace the...
