Re: polaroid flm-373b lcd power issue and fixed!

Must be nice, here in upstate ny the only thing I've run across are 50" plasmas with undetermined sustain board issues that people are trying to get 300 for and just in the last two days a 32" lcd for 150 & a 42" for "only" 200. Both "work great just need to replace screen". Last one was 3 years old and had the gem "this it's why I'm selling it so cheap". Also almost impossible to find non working lcd monitors, those must be ending up in the trash which is now illegal here.

Led tvs don't have bubs, or even ccfls. They have a matrix of leds behind the lcd instead, which is why they're thinner, and have better colors/ black levels because the leds can be locally dimned where as bulbs cannot. I would suspect the driver board for the leds or even the cable from the board to the leds. Let us know whet the tech finds.

I have a Polaroid tlx-03210b, that a week ago Saturday, decided to go up in smoke. Literally. A poof and some stink later, I had a worthless, or so I thought at a time, 32" paperweight.

After some Googling, I discovered where to look for a fault, and subsequently, to this very forum. I decided that the two blown capacitors (one so much it popped the bottom, spewed the electrolyte, and left the one lead in the board) were cheap enough for me to attempt to fix.

I did own a soldering gun after all, and had become somewhat adept at joining wires together, so I figured...
