Drove 75 miles today to buy this tv for $100 only because I have the same tv as my main tv and I love it, also because I have a spare board for every board from the 55vt30 if ou guys remember has a bad panel.
The original owner had taken it apart and determined it was the SC board, he said.
I put in my good SC board without checking the old one. 7 blinks with the new.
So then I used the method tw2005 told me to use to check the buffers and sure enough the top buffer is shorted.
Put in the new buffer, took 15 minutes to realign the ribbons and she is alive.
Now the question is, can the buffer be repaired? Could it be the original SC board was good after all? I was afraid to put it back in because I didn want to short out either buffer.
When I check for resistance at sc2, it reads in the K's of ohms.
The known good sc board reads in the Mega ohms.
I suppose I can send the sc board to have it checked and if needed, have it fixed as a spare.
