    RCA 42LA45RQ Backlight inverter board

    Hi Guys I have a bit of an issue my T.V's backlight recently got very dim but the bottom was still well lit. I played around in setting trying to fix it and then I could smell burning plastic coming from the T.V I shut it off and took it apart. After taking back cover off right away I noticed were it was burning and it was the Backlight inverter from my understanding. However after searching online for a replacement part I did not find any and was wondering if I could just repalce the capacitors even though the board is slightly burned as shown in the pictures.Model Number is

    You have burnt out ballast caps (current limiter for the CCFL) which probably failed shorted or has leakage resistance.
    What are the text printed on the caps that are not damaged? I usually replace them all at the same time. You may also may have worn out lamps that are drawing too much current.

      What was your solution for this?
      I have the exact same board with blown caps on CON6...

      The markings on the other caps are 15J 6KV... I don't even know where to begin looking for replacements... or if I need a new board.

      Any help is greatly appreciated.

          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...

          Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't

          Looking for help with a Viewsonic VP230mb where the backlight comes on only momentarily
          by lostone
          Hello, I came here after finding some similar questions asked on other monitors and hope someone here can help me get an ancient Viewsonic VP230mp (23" 4:3 LCD) back to working condition.

          First a little background, I have a background in computer and electrical engineering, and I'm smart enough to know I know nothing about LCD displays and how they work. For this topic I'm as green as they come.
          When the display is turned on the viewsonic logo displays in the uppper left for 2 seconds then the screen goes black, the power LED is green (on) and when a computer is connected...
