Re: Advent PS-42D8 No Picture (Samsung Guts)

Hey freakaftr8, thanks for the reply... I had a chance to look at it tonight and unfortunately unplugging the ysus/ybuffs didn't change anything. However, I decided to try with the xsus unplugged and I got

ve: 107V expected, 107.8V measured
[B]vset: 83V expected, 78.9V measured[/B]

Which may not be perfect but is a significant improvement. From what I have seen around here...

Anybody mind if I bump?

Greetings!

I was given this television and was told that the screen went dark, but that sound continued to play. I have plugged in a media player of mine via composite but can't get any sound out of it. Unfortunately because the screen is not working I am unable to know if I have the correct input selected. When the TV is off I have a solid red LED on the front, which changes to blue when I turn it on via either the front buttons or the remote.

Thanks to some of the helpful posts here I was able to at least get started on this feller, but am hoping that someone might...

Greetings Earthlings,

I'm fairly new to electronics repair but quite willing to get my hands dirty and learn along the way... I'm in the Great White North and have an Advent plasma I am hoping to get some help with while here.

HF!
