Tw, thanks for giving me direction where to continue. It's late here, and I will resume with probing and the results tomorrow. ��

And my humble tools..

I have the above mentioned TV. Has the 6 blinking LED lights. I've read many threads in this forum with similar issues (press power button, clicks, then led starts to blink, no picture or sound, no glow, no response to remote) and it points to some bad components on the SN board. I've done some unplugging tests, and volt readings to support this theory for my TV also. I'm not very knowledgeable on how to test the transisistors. Mainly, what they're pinouts are, what readings I should get in diode or ohm mode. From watching vids on YouTube, correct me if I'm wrong, if I get two different reading...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi there everyone. Nothing too special about me. Just interested in learning about electronics, and how to use that knowledge in my normal life. I'm a DIY type of person, but a beginner in the field on electronics. Hope grow from here. 😊
