Hi guys.
I need some help here. Here is the update. I replaced the two puffy caps on the power supply and re-installed it and the TV worked perfect with a great piciture. An hour later the TV shut off. It went on and off and back on for about 6 hours. The next day I turned the TV on and it went on and off and that's all it would do. I disconnected the upper buffer board and the TV turned on and the lower half had a good picture. I shut it off and reconnected the buffer board and disconnected the bottom and the TV turned on and off. I reconnected both buffer boards and the TV turned on and the picture was bad and I had horizontal lines and I heard a crackling pop sound and the TV went out. I noticed the top buffer board ws burnt out now, I disconnected the top buffer board and the TV turned on and stood on and the bottom half had no picture but just vertical and horizontal lines. Does this mean both buffer boards are burnt or is there also something else wrong. I would really like to fix it instead of buying a new TV. Can someone please help. I am at the end of my ropes. Please help.
Thanks.
Joe
