Re: Element 40LE45Q sound but no picture

One other thing I noticed is I'm reading less than 5 volts at one of the pins on the power supply. It's a gray wire third one down in picture. The wire runs to the main board. Sorry the main board picture is a little blurry. Will try to get better pictures up this weekend. I was thinking that I might be able to bypass the main board to see if the power supply was the problem but I'm not sure how to do that. Please let me know if there is a way to do that and how I can do it. Thanks for any information you give....

Screen flashes and then shuts off. I have sound. Purchased and installed inverter board but still have problem. I have 24 volts going to the inverter board for the backlights and 2.8 volts for bl on. Could I have gotten a bad inverter? How can I test if a backlight bulb is bad. Only have a multimeter. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
