Hey guys, first post.
A 47" LCD popped up in the free section of craigslist and I nabbed it for 20 bucks. I'm super busy with work so I haven't had a chance to get into the repair project yet (it's been sitting in my garage for a few months..)
Today I found a few spare moments and found an owners manual [for TC-L47E5] and service manual [for TC-L47E5T] in PDF format.
Plugging in the TV results in a steady repeating 3-blink red light on the bottom front center of TV. (Blink, blink, blink, pause etc) The service manual says "IROM Boot Program SOS" and check "A-board" and "P-board.
I'm hoping to take this thing apart soon and wondering what to look for. I fixed an electric cook top recently by replacing a few swollen capacitors on an internal PCB so I should have the skills to get this TV working.
Any info would be appreciated. I will treat this thread as a working log for the repair process in hopes that anyone with a similar issue can benefit from the info.
If I can repair this TV and make it usable it will be a massive upgrade to my current TV.
Thank you all for any contribution or info shared!
