Re: Possible purchase - Proscan 55 LCD 55lc55s240v69

Hello all!
I'm a computer system administrator who is tired of failing monitors and other various equipment. I've decided to learn what I can about circuits in the hopes of being able to repair much of the equipment I use. And to help my buddies out.

Currently working on a Proscan 47" LCD TV. Power Board RSAG7.820.1357. Seems like there's already a thread here and I've already learned so much!
