Re: Toshiba 40rv525u power led flashing / will not come on

I found a shorted HDMI-switch chip U39 (directly above the HDMI inputs). At least I think it is shorted. I lifted the two inductor chips FB90 and FB91 that supply power to the chip.

[B]This allowed the TV to power up!![/B]

I found the shorted chip very quickly with a thermal camera. The chip was at 200 degrees F very quickly after powering up the unit.

I could hear the power supply trying to turn on, and the led on the front panel was turning on and off.

Hope this...
