 |
|
Help please. Just got a Toshiba 51h83 from a buddy of mine for nothing. (Yes, I knew it didn't work  ) When you plug it in, you can hear an audible click from the area of the power supply, and also can hear a 'bump' on the speakers and what SOUNDS like a regular t.v. screen starting to power up (the 'static' sound, as I call it). When you then push the power butten on the front or the remote, you get the blinking red light of doom.
The previous owner attempted to replace 2 small parts inside the unit, stating that he thought he had a convergence problem. He attempted to solder them in (or so he says), but they had absolutely no solder on them. Now I've soldered them so that isn't the problem.
Any help you fine folks could give me would be appreciated, and I can try to give you more info if you need it.
Thanks |

Without "assuming"... What's in it? The Replacements or the Originals?  |

| The replacements. He gave me the original parts that he removed. |

Hard to say when you come across one of these where they used a golden screwdriver.
all the normal failures are kind of out the window. I do know if those chips were used without being attached to a heatsink, they are probably dead again. |

Well, evidently he knew enough to put the sinks back on and use thermal putty. I have pulled out the PD1147 board that they were attached to, and have since located a crack in the board where it appears that he tried to lift the board out and left a screw in.
I also checked connections on the power supply board and then pulled it to see if there was anything burnt.
Again, it sounds like there is power getting to that board, but am really unsure about how to check if there is power getting to the other areas of the set, other than just pulling out my multimeter and probing (hopefully out of high-voltage areas).
Thanks again for any help. |
