Well I got this for $20 off Craigslist. I've opened her up and looked for the usual bad caps and anything obvious. Checked some voltages per the imprinted values on the boards. Took off ribbon cables and reseated all the other cables.
Have the bluish light on screen. Back lights working. Sound working. No menu or OSD. Upon disconnecting ribbons from TCON I get the bright white on either side of the screen. reseating those ribbons, I get some test patterns occasionally; but they are just for a second.
So I'm thinking its the main video board and/or tcon.
Any tests I can do to do I haven't? I tried the reset/service method of Vol - but it wouldn't even power on by itself that way.
Btw the power light is red and blinks a few times during power up. It is not blue or green at any time. Is that normal for this model?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I can take some HD pics of the boards later if that might help.
