Re: Need help with a Emerson 32" TV LC320EM2F



No leads did not touch anything under board the frame it attached to was plastic and non conductive. I looked up the part number for the board and checked Ebay the cheapest replacement board was $81 shipped.

None of these look the correct size of the one they are replacing....is digi-key located in the USA?...

Everything else checked out good on the board visually. Not sure what type or output he used when he used the inverter it was plugged into a power out in has escalade....

Ok, so I traded a laptop (only paid $50 for, worth $300) for an Emerson 32" LCD TV the guy powered it on via an inverter in his car which I thought was a bad idea. None the less it powered up after the power light blinked RED. Took it home all excited plugged it in to a cable line (COAX) and plugged in the power turned on the TV and heard buzzing coming from the back left it on for a minute when it started to smoke. Took the back cover off and found the issue, it was a capacitor with a bulging top got so hot it melted the shrink material that was wrapped around it.

Model: LC320EM2F...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello all been coming here for some time but only to look up info and never for any questions until now.

I've been doing computer repair since the 486dx days, and jumped ship to start doing other electronics about 2years ago when my TV died and they wanted $500 to repair a $27 fix.

Thanks for having me and n I have to go post a question.
