Re: Sony x930D , half screen grey bars

How long does it take to discharge the caps normally? A few hours or a day or so?

Re: Sony x930D , half screen grey bars

If I just disconnect the board, and then mess with the tcon and disconnect the ribbon cables, do I even need to discharge that filter cap? I dont want to overcomplicate things here or burn some trace out trying to discharge it.

No, it's ok to unhook the powerboard from the rest to clean tcon, just don't touch powerboard in those high voltage areas and unplug tv from power unless you are measuring voltage.

Very sensible to be cautious, after all you can't watch tv if your dead.

It'll look like a hazmat operation to fix a t con board. Watch after all this, it be a bad panel. FML

Whats weird about this is no where on google can I find a similar picture of something happening. The whole right side just looks like a test pattern. All the panel failures look like small lines, and some look just plain garbled.

This is just like the whole right side is a test pattern, I mean I think its hardware but just a strange sorta thing going on.
