Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello, name is Jim. I'm a ham radio guy, my callsign is n4be. Melbourne, Fla. I'm a retired Electronic Engineer, MSEE '72 from Clemson. Just replaced the Tcon board in my Sony KDL46 Bravia and now it works! Had to buy it all the way from a guy in China. Interested in knowing why Tcon boards fail. Is it due to heat, bad caps, other? Thanks.
