Re: I've been had

Hmm I've been doing pretty good with Craigslist in my area. I've been giving these to family members at cost. Neighbor up the street wants something for his garage so that is what I'm on the lookout for now.

$100 for a 72" samsung HL72a650 dlp - intermittent lamp issue. Replaced all the caps on power supply and cap on ballast for $26 in parts, new OEM bulb for $80. Working fine although it has 6 stuck pixels which means $180 in dlp chip replacement coming up. Still will have under $400 in it after that.- Game day tv in the basement to go along...

Panasonic TC-P65S2. I've just recently repaired a bad SC board (sent to moduslink) and bad ETX2MM813MSS power supply sub board (230V 1000uF cap blew). It appears when the cap blew out it caused the problem with the SC board as that was being directly fed by the power.

From what I've read, the main issue causing the Panasonic plasmas from 2010 to have part failure is heat related. So would adding two or three 120mm fans prevent future problems? I noticed that in following years fans have been added.

If so should I just use a temp sensor to kick the fans on and off or is...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

I found this site due to picking up a couple very cheap panasonic plasma tvs that have the "7 blinks of death". I want to repair them and give them to family members. The information here is great
