Picked up this Alba set which has suddenly stopped working.
On inspection the side button controls was disconnected from the main board and the Vestel power supply 17PW26-4 V1 displayed the classic bulged capacitors.
Replaced all the caps and reconnected the side panel button connector and the set fires up OK.
But if you look at the screen especially from an angle it looks like a water tide mark across the screen.
Has anyone come experienced this before. The set has come from smokers and a fair amount of nicote stains the internal boards.
I wonder if someone tried to wash down the set and water has got behind the lcd panel.
I intend to open it up to clean the panel and see if that clears the problem but would be interested in knowing if anyone else has come across this.
