Re: samsung un40es6100 flickering backlight

I can understand about a driver IC shorting but an LED shorting??? Is that even possible??? You cant test an LED with a DMM as there is no circuit.

Re: lg 42px5r no picture with sound

First time here to post, so dont think im trying to be the expert but I have repaired several of these same problems, but on different models...but it comes down to the same faulted part. the IPM, which controls the voltages and signals to the rest of the y-sus. The LG 42PC3D had several caps(10Vdc 3300uf) swelled, on the main power board that caused the IPM to blow. Taking the IPM off the y-sus is time consuming, but at 45 dollars for that part, and 12 for all the caps, is alot cheaper than having a 4-500 dollar repair bill. Dont go out and buy...
