Re: BUSH LED2497ODVDFHD, 17PW80 V2, Dead!

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post a thank you in but by following the helpful pointers given in this thread, I have managed to repair a faulty Sharp LC-24LE240E TV. This set has a Vestel 17PW80 v3 PSU. D708 (SB5100) had gone short circuit. I have replaced all three with new ones from the same bandolier and thermally bonded them. I also bonded the two UF5402 Diodes while I was at it. Set now working fine.
So Thank You All.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello, I live in Nottingham, England. I am now retired but spent all my working life in the telecoms industry, starting as a wireman and ending as a software configuration engineer. Although I had a lot of experience in wiring printed wiring boards I have none in using surface mount components or fault finding.

I found this site while looking for info about faults on a Sharp (in this case read that as Vestel) TV set that is dead. The site has already pointed me towards a couple of possible causes, so I am hopeful...
