Picked this one up off of Craigslist that was listed as no picture but had sound. Went through and did my checks and found the bottom buffer had a blown IC.
I replaced the bottom buffer with one from shopjimmy and the set worked fine for about 6 hours until the picture went out again. Checked the bottom buffer and found the same IC blown. SJ sent me a replacement at no charge which fixed the TV again for a few hours until the picture went out. Pulled the bottom buffer and found a different blown IC. All of my voltages are correct when the set is working and when it is not, if I remove the bottom buffer the voltages are fine.
Is it possible the Ysus is bad and blowing the buffer w/out blowing the top one? Or could it be a panel fault and I should just throw in the towel?
