[TV] Re: Magnovox PTV843 dead LED on



just got back from looking at the set. the main power supply will not 
start, however it is getting the startup signal from the signal module. 
all standby voltages are present where they should be, 12v present at 
proper points on the cold side controller IC. I found one bad capacitor, 
it was bubbled up, 470uf, 25v off near the shutdown IC. replaced this. 
checked both the HOT and HVOT, they are fine. tested all diodes in the 
circuits and they are also fine. no signs of burned resistors, all SMD 
transistors test A-OK.

I replaced the cold and hot side controller ICs with ones i found on 
another board i had laying around, but it still wont startup, and theres 
no telling if those ICs were any good either so i might have to just get 
new ones and hope for the best. ESR test of all the caps indicate they 
are all A-OK.

any ideas? thanks.
