    Help with connecting bulb in series with VS line

    Hi everyone. I need some help with repairing XSUS board that keeps shorting out the VS line. I want to connect 2 70W bulbs in series so that I can connect the bulbs into the VS line, power up the tv and make sure the short is gone.

    Is this the correct configuration for 2 bulbs in series? I have the neutral of the one bulb connected to the live(hot) of the other. How do I properly connect this to the VS line?

        Those lamps are not connected in series, you have one connected accross the other parallel, oh well... you install the lamp in place of or in line with the fuse, if the there is a short the lamp will light bright and if the vs voltage is more than 120 volts ie 195 volts it will light real bright

            Hi all,
            this unit comes from a samsumg LCD TV LE32C530F1W which stopped working after making a strong noise like something was exploded inside of it.
            I opened it and found that fuse FP801S was blown, capacitor CP814 was completely disintegrated and MOSFET QP801S was shorted.
            I replaced all of them and instead of the fuse I connected a 100 Watt bulb. Then, without connecting it to other TV boards, I switched it on, but the bulb begun to blink.
            I thought that maybe the bulb was somehow interfering with the normal operation of the power supply, so I replaced it with a fuse,...

            Trying to Save - Samsung 65" The Frame (QN65LS03B) with no signs of life (One Connect Box)
            by KYBOSH
            I picked this one up today.
            Previous owner says no signs of life.
            TV looks immaculate and its a 2022 model year so I thought maybe the one connect cable was damaged.
            Got it home and put it on the Kill-A-Watt power meter and it was completely dead.

            The TV model is QN65LS03BAFXZA - version: CB06
            The One Connect Box BN44-01066D / BN96-54788Q / BN39-02470A.

            I immediately remembered EazyBone's Samsung The Frame TV no power....One Connect thread and am preparing myself to tear the One Connect open and hunt for dead parts.

            Will keep you all...

            Programming KBC IT8987VG ASUS TUF FX506L RT809F+PEB
            by araxnido
            Dear friends, I want to share my experience repairing an ASUS TUF FX506L gaming laptop motherboard: DABKXDMB8E0_F_BKXD. Boardview and schematic are available, as well as the BIOS and ITE ROM.

            When the customer brought in this laptop, it was initially dead; it showed no signs of booting for any reason. After hours of measurements, checking each stage, MOSFET, and seeing if there was a short circuit in any capacitor, I discovered a strange 0.7V leakage voltage on the 3V_S5 rail, particularly on the PL9 coil, with the board not powered on. There were 3V_LDO and 5V_LDO voltages, which...

            Samsung UN50TU8000FXZC shows thin horizontal green line when warm
            by cubytus
            Hi to all,

            I was given this TV, an entry-level 4K 50" set. Some have criticized its lack of contrast and relatively poor colour rendering, but for my needs, it's very decent.

            I reset everything to factory settings, but this line keeps on fading in and out when watching a streaming channel from the Tizen firmware. Interestingly, it only happens when TV is warm, after about 1h45 of it being turned on.

            Watching a movie from an external source doesn't trigger the line as easily (needs 2 hours), and from a normal viewing distance, is hardly noticeable. It...
