Yep, dropped the ohms to the min value, then tested. The dmm went from 1 down to .000, so i'm guessing that means resistance is zero (which means that the fuse is still intact?)Leave a comment:

haha i must admit, the fixing of it has become more interesting that the actual TV watching!
I DMM'd the fuse and i had current running through it so it was fine, so i guess it wasnt the fuse.
I managed to get the T-con from ebay for £12 posted. Hopefully it works!
I'll keep you posted and thanks heaps for the help so far.Leave a comment:

Awesome - i got a maplins down the road. I'll pick up a dmm there - i'm expat'ing over here so all my gear is back in Aus.
I have attached a pic of what i have read is the t-con. The bit pointed out in red is the SMD yeah? Can i just pop it off?...Leave a comment:

Awesome, thanks Tom. I'll take off the t-con cover tonight and get the model number.
Yes the repair costs are criminal. This was from the Samsung authorised place, noone else wanted to touch it. I have found a T-Con for £25 so its 1/10 the price!!
I'll order tonight and post results!
