    TOM66-Question for you

    I have a Samsung PN51D550C1F plasma tv with a shorted XSUS board. I replaced all the shorted parts and gate driver IC. I installed 2 bulbs in series on the VS line to the XSUS, I have one bulb wire installed in the power supply VS line and the other bulb wire on the VS line of the XSUS board.

    Shouldn't the bulbs light up at power up then glow dimly after, if the circuit is operating normally. I was using 2 70W bulbs wired in series with first bulbs live wire connected to the p/s VS and the neutral wire going to the second bulb and the live of the second bulb going to VS on XSUS.

    You seem to be the only person here that knows anything.

        At first I wasen't going to respond to it,I Don't want to be a trouble seeker all the time.

        But then I couldn't help myself and had to say something,being stupid can't go unpunished.

            For what it's worth I don't answer questions directed to me (PM or otherwise). And there are many other skilled members on this forum but you've surely alienated them now.

            I have very little time to direct to BCN now. I have a job, university and my wonderful girlfriend which combined occupy most of my time, so I won't be around that much. I'm also not fixing TVs any more for money as my time is better directed to my job instead (it pays a lot better)
            Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

                          sorry guys it wasn't meant to offend anyone? What I meant about by "he seems to be the only one who know anything" is in regards to using lamps in series with the VS line. I haven't heard of anyone else here using this method.

                            Sure it was me that mentioned this to you some weeks ago, as Ive been using bulbs as loads/limiters for 30 years on various repairs--Then you had a huge debate as to HOW to wire two bulbs in series--Then I just gave up!

                              Thanks Alastair, you did help me in the past. I was able to figure everything out. I appreciate all the help I received on this board and I apologize if I came across as an ungrateful asshole. I have learned so much from all of you here.

                                    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...

                                    OK. I got the rocker switch figured out thanks to the good advice on this forum.

                                    Now I need to figure out the correct wire to go to the switch from the broiler element and from the oven element.

                                    This is a Whirlpool RDE3340 electric range.

                                    The common wire on the switch appears to have a high temperature insulating material. I am guessing that both the wire to the broiler and the wire to the oven elements also need relatively high temperature insulation. What do I need to look for? The broiler is rated at about 2400 watts.

                                    Where may I find parts...

                                    TOSHIBA DLP 52HM95 How to reset timer module on bulb
                                    by repair-it
                                    I replaced the bulb only on my Toshiba DLP The bulb is a TB-25. This is the first time I've done a bulb only replacement. Supposedly there is a timer module that needs to be re-calibrated or reset. I don't know where the module is located. I see some vendors selling the bulb with the housing stating module included which leads me to think the module is located inside the enclosure the bulb mounts in, but I didn't see it. Maybe it's inside the plug attached to the bulb?

                                    Anyway - I am seeking information on how to reset this so called module so that the lamp will operate. Apparently...

                                    Tiny Tech ATX480W output power ticking

                                    Hi to all forum members,

                                    ​​​​​​This psu (Tiny Tech model ATX 480W) had been installed in a very old Windows XP PC but recently i pulled it out as the pc cannot start. To test it, i jumped the green wire and black wire on the 24 pin connector. The psu fan jerk a bit but not spinning. I used my dmm to check dc voltage on output connector wire, the 5v red wire keeps ticking a bit at around dc1v....then drops and ticking again around 1v. It is the same situation with the 12v yellow wire.

                                    Fyi, i desoldered the secondary side electrolytic cap those over 1000uf...

                                    Kogan - KALED65XU9220STB - Blue Vertical Line
                                    by TrueSword88
                                    Hi all.

                                    I have a Kogan 65' LCD Panel with a thin blue vertical line (top to bottom) on left hand side of panel.
                                    The line just happens to coincide with the end of COF and start of the next COF (attached).

                                    The line is permanent no matter what I've tried. I've tried pressure testing the panel (top to bottom) and all over, I didn't notice any difference with the line, either temporary or semi-permanent.

                                    Also tried unplugging all flex cables, cleaned with isopropyl then re-inserting to no avail - line remains.


                                    Hoping to fix...
