Re: 42pa30rq clicks....no power, no sound

true on the ebay thing...i've noticed it. Well I thought maybe that was the case. I told the seller about it and he said ..well maybe your panel is bad. I told him if my panel was bad, it wouldn't cause the boards to be shorted (i hope i'm right on that statement). He also said "i tested them" and I said well if you did, why are they shorted? He also said they came from a working tv with a broken screen...and I told him that if he looks around the internet, he'll notice ppl stating that broken screens can burn out the boards...So...

thank you to everyone on here by the way. reading multiple posts has really helped...but now I"m at my wits end.

So the issue was it would click like 3 times...slow fashing led light on that one board...so I replaced xmain and with ymain disconnected, power stays on for vs and va. I have been through 2 ymains now. it will click twice.. I tried testing the boards...tell me if this is right please..
i placed leads on vs + grn (hope it doesn't matter which gnd because there are multiples) and it is shorted (comparing to when touching leads together...so infinity on analog...
