whilst googling for an answer to my issue i came across [URL="https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=22356"]this[/URL]
same tv different issue
as my name suggests i have no expertise in taking electrical components apart
not that i'm not willing to try, it only cost me $124.00
this tv was hooked to my wifes computer
it worked fine for about 8 months
we connected it to a dvd player over christmas
when i plugged it back into the computer the "brightness" was gone
you can still see a picture...
