Re: New Members - please post your introductions here
Hi there,
Just joined the forum as I am having problems with a TV fault. (Also just noticed the dates on this 'New Members' area - latest 2006!!!! Hope there is still someone alive out there!)
I live in the UK so I hope the time zones aren't a problem. I used to be a TV service engineer just after the big bang - they were valves back then not those silly silicon things.

Hi everyone,
Looking for a help with TV problems.
Panasonic LXD80 - green LED on but no picture/sound.
Managed to switch it on a few times (green LED blinking, many clicks heard, LCD working, good picture sometimes switched to vertical lines). The more clicks heard the more possible for the TV to switch ON. Longest about 3 minutes, then switch off itself, sometimes came back but switch itself off again after 10 seconds or so and no power LED at all.
Now just one click heard and the LED stays green but no picture/sound.
If someone looking, please help.
I will try to post more details on the forum.

Hi everyone,
I'm a veteran contributor to various Mac fora (Flemish/Belgian, Dutch and Canadian), but I'm a bit of an electronics enthusiast too. And these Mac fora leave me starved of any intelligent comments on component repair.
Found this forum trying to understand some Apple Cinema HD Repair notes on EhMa.ca by forum member ixuss.
Being versed - and self-taught almost exclusively in analogue audio circuitry and general AV connectivity because of my hobby and job (yes, with me luckily both merge!), I daresay I've picked up a lot of knowledge about digital circuitry on this one case only.
Thank you for that!
Just so you know: one of my favorite sites is Pinouts.ru.

Hi all. New member here. Just got on here to find info on fixing a Samsung UN46D6050 tv. I'll use the search function and post a question if nothing comes up. Basically, no video but screen flashes when first powering up. Thanks!

Hello, complete newbie here with very little electronic troubleshooting experience. I have a lg mu-42pz15 Plasma that I'm working on as a project. I'm hoping learn a thing or 2 as well as save a few bucks. Thanks in advance for helpful advice or information that might come my way.

Hello! My name is Jake Bouton, I recently enrolled in an EEST (Electronics Equipment Service Technician) program at the local technical college in Tacoma, WA.
I'm new to the field and eager to learn, I bought four broken flat screens from offer-up and Craigslist. These TV's are an addition to what I'm going to learn in the program, I have all the tools I need in class but lack the skills. My instructor is busy and helps a lot but referred me to this site so I can help myself.
So, I'm here today because I have failed to figure out how to get the vertical lines off half of the screen on a Samsung 50" LCD. I started by checking the ribbon connections to the t-con board. Then I replaced the t-con board. The vertical lines on the right side of the screen are still there. I now have no clue what to do next and my google fu needs improvement, I cannot find any helpful info searching myself.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here
Hello all! My name is Mike and I'm from Lakeland, Florida. About a week ago I pulled a Samsung plasma TV out of someone's garbage and decided to see if I could fix it. I have about 18 years of IT experience but very little of that is at the component level. I came across this forum while troubleshooting and hope that someone here might be able to steer me in the right direction. With any luck I'll have a more detailed post up soon. Thanks!
Re: New Members - please post your introductions here
Hello,
hopefully after a few more hours reading through the post here I might be closer to fixing my LG 60" Plasma. I have had almost no luck locating parts as it must be an oddball set. If I cant find the answers within the thousands of post here hopefully someone will be able to provide some guidance

Ok. Ok. Ok.....My first computer experience was a USAF AN/MPS9/OA215 in 1964/5....Analog Radar Tracking System. Four years later was the giant size fill-a-room main frame systems with "IC's! About 1980 my (our) first "laptop"...a TI99 with TI Basic. After 26 years with Main Frames I went on to PC's and networking. (Novell!). After 8 to 10 years of that I QUIT...went into whats called retirement. All my computer experience was in maintenance. In the old days days ya use an O'Scope, troubleshoot down to a chip pin and replace the failing chip..quite different today. A couple of years ago our Samsung 40 inch TV failed...then, with the help of the internet, I was able to identify and replace a faulty capacitor. that was my first "Badcap"! but not the last.... I'll be listening.....Katch22
