Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi, I am new to self help electronics. I am determined to fix my broken television and not take it to a local repair shop. I am usually pretty good at figuring things out but not TVs. I am kinda a control freak and a self confessed "no it all" so you can imagine my frustration at not being able to figure out where the 5V standby is to test it as suggested in the troubleshooting posts. Every time I google a question it takes me to this site so I figured it must be good so here I am.
