Re: Is this power supply the right one?

Thanks heaps for the advice. I'll have to pull my multimeter out, and see if I can figure out how to use it!

Nothing to loose by trying to fix it up before buying the other power board. I'd rather spend a few dollars on resistors and diodes before spending more.

And this forum is awesome, it saved me from buying a new computer monitor ages ago, and now hopefully it'll save me from buying a new tv!

Hi Everybody.

My tv popped this morning, and electrical smoke came from it. I thought it was the capacitor, so I pulled it apart, and they still look intact. But underneath, I found the power board had short circuited to the part behind it. And some thingi (best I've got), are burnt out.

I'm fine to solder in new parts, but I have no idea what they are, or if it's fixable (somebody let me know if it is!).

Hi all.

I had a quick question I was hoping somebody could help with.

I'm fixing a bad LCD screen, and bought a screen specific kit off ebay, but the uF values don't match up.

The one I pulled out was 25v 220uF, and the closest in the kit I bought was 25v 470uF (and a 25v 100uF).

Can I use the 470uF one?

Thanks!
