Re: Sony Bravia KDL-46SL100 (no picture, but I feel so close)

Yeah, I'm wondering if he was just trying to soak me for some cash. I told him when I dropped the tv off that I thought it was the tcon. As far as soldering goes, I gave that a shot (first time in 20 years) and shaky hands with lack of skill resulted in a mess on the tcon. I junked it. But, the new board is in the mail.

Maybe I can get near some wifi soon and post that pic.

Sorry about the pic. I have a better one of the area in question on my iPhone, but that doesn't work here. But, yes, backlight is on.

Title states my problem and I'll break down everything I've done. Checked all caps for bulging, all good. Suspected the T-con. Took it to a repair shop and he diagnosed it as the main board being the culprit. Replaced main board with no results. Read an old post on here from the Wizard about testing a small white fuse on the T-con. Fuse was bad. Ordered T-con and am waiting but decided to test the power supply in the mean time. All seems good except two wires that say 15v are not registering. I can't find a schematic for this board (I am searching with my phone, no Internet at the moment. Power...
