Just replaced the xmain ymain, psu(which I think was fine to begin with but just in case ) and ybuff. I also replaced the fried ribbon cable. Gonna try and boot up now and see what happens
I did a visual inspection and test each fuse on the xbuffer boards. All seemed to be in working order. No burn marks on the board either. I did notice a ribbon cable that has been burned up from my last attempt to fix the tv. This cable went from the control board (the one with the LED) to the xmain board. Im currently looking into acquiring a new cable.
Hey flocko, i tested all the boards before i plugged them in and they where all good. The only issue that i noticed before hand was the shorted transistors in the psu bored i mentioned above, but the voltages remained steady when i tested that board on its own , so i assumed it was ok.
Just my luck. I plug in everything , turned on , no video though. Then, I start seeing smoke from the center , in guessing the psu board. Now the new ymain has a diode shorted . Xmain is ok. I have no way of checking the ybuffer
I tested them the same way i tested the other boards. i unplugged everything, and tested the nodes using the multimeter's diode mode. Is it possible im doing it incorrectly?
Also, now that I have three boards with fried transistors , is their anything I can do with these parts. Capkid, you mentioned that they are difficult to repair ?
Well this sucks, I followed the instructions you posted on the similar thread (really simple instructions so thank you) and I found shorts on both the ymain, the xmain and the brand new ymain I bought . Is there a way for to test the ybuffer and xbuffer ? The xbuffer only seams to have a capacitor on it.
So i tested with everything except for the ybuffer and received the same results. I also check the voltages and they were all at 0v (vs,va etc). The blinking with everything attached starts with two blinks then turns off completely but the standby light is still on. It follows the same pattern that flocko mentioned. Capkid, Is their anyway for me to test each board separately?
