I have a Polaroid tda03211c. When I hit the power button the led changes to blue and I can hear the dvd player turn on, but I have no picture at all. I replaced all the capacitors on the power board (cause I noticed a few swollen ones). Screen is still just black. I checked all the connections inside and they all seem fine. I shined a flashlight on the screen and didn't see anything so I'm assuming it isn't a Backlight issue. Can anyone point me in the right direction to properly diagnose this issue?

Ec 17 and 18 are good. I'm getting a .4 voltage drop at that diode, but it's still attached to the board. It says in my (Multimeter) manual that it should be between .5 and .8 Do you think it's bad?

Disconnect (float) one side and retest.

I pulled it off. The first time I checked it it started at .550 and kept climbing. The second time I checked it it stayed around .681 and didn't really change.

It looks like it's a tc18813f. I couldn't figure out how to post a photo.

I tested that diode (uninstalled) and it read .4. I'm going replace it cause it doesn't seem to be acting the way it should. I read somewhere that the Mur420 is a good upgrade to the stock Her303. Is this true or should I just stick to the original equipment?

With meter on Diode test, over-range with one polarity of test leads - .4 in the other, sounds just fine to me.

Part number can be found on a sticker.
SJ has pictures

So, if the diode and those capacitors are good, what should I look at next?
