I've been able to fix a number of TVs and monitors over the years using that method. I've fixed ones from 6 months old to 10 years old. Works every time. I usually replace most every capacitor (I don't mess with the big ones though - they'll mess you up if you're not careful to discharge them properly). It costs about ~$13 including shipping typically :tiphat:

EDIT: nevermind... no bet :icon17: You saw flames shoot out the back?!? Our Z's can't even do that :eek: ... or can they? :icon08:

It's the DU/SD board within the unit. It's a known flaw of the tv apparently. Stupid boards are sold out everywhere and even then they cost $600. The board basically fried itself it sounds like.

i watch tv in my music room on my small 22" actually. :icon17:

kenchan 09-18-2015 09:05 AM

its a computer lcd for gaming.... very high def

kenchan 09-18-2015 09:06 AM

i have the audio hooked up to my small sony stereo. while it's only got 2 channels i still get nice audio spread and dimension. :D

i use to have a prologic system back like 20yrs ago. i should probably make a THX someday soon..

is THX wat u guys use these days? :ugh: ive been away from hometheater for over a decade.. :ugh2:
the last i worked on was AC3..

Leingod 09-18-2015 09:15 AM

I just need 120hz for no motion blur and input lag under 5ms for gaming. LED or LCD, doesn't matter to me. Could care less about 4k content or stereoscopic 3D or even smart features. 50+ inches and beveled inputs since I use flush wall mounts.

kenchan 09-18-2015 09:19 AM

yah i dont play games on my 22", but motion blur was the biggest concern for me too.

no issue watching tv and movies. :p

kenchan 09-18-2015 09:22 AM

so lenovo thinks their new os is going to bring spark to my moto-g. :ugh: installing it right now..

kenchan 09-18-2015 09:22 AM

Leingod 09-18-2015 09:23 AM

Costco later to look at TV's. I left a nice long saddened review on Panasonics FB page regarding my incident.

kenchan 09-18-2015 09:23 AM

Had a good morning... Met with the adjuster, got the settlement offer... Wife is happy (it's obviously more than we were going to sell the car for) so now we just have to coordinate with the tow truck after we turn in the signed title Tuesday morning & get a check. :tup:

Easier to look at the bad then good I suppose. I just want to buy car parts! Whenever I save, I get kicked down. :shakes head:

3rd world would be that my goat I've been raising for 3 years suddenly dies from a hairball. My collection of rocks disintegrate when a volcano comes through town and my POS civic is still unscathed.

The SI is probably just a slightly faster horrible car.

Did you see the 10th gen Civic unveiled this week? Looks promising.....but who knows.

njobe89 09-18-2015 10:51 AM

Rep honorably.

I have the previous years model smart LED, I think its a 6100 or something like that. The only thing I hate is the smart portion of it. The interface sucks, so I just take up another HDMI with an apple tv and didn't look back.


Lien, too bad this didn't happen a week ago. I just sold my 4 yrd old Samsung 42" for $150 this past monday, it was "like New". Creigslist had a good selection for around $200 mark.

It's quicker in the sense that the feeling of steering is even lighter so you're turning 180 degrees to make a right on red. The power is quicker than the steering can handle. By a large margin.

I left a horrible post on panasonics FB page. They just got back to me asking for more info and are going to see if they can help with an out of warranty offer. We shall see....

Could be worse, you could be held captive by crazy extremist for being a tourist, then a month later have your head sent in a box to your parents.

Leingod 09-18-2015 11:00 AM

1st worlds problems are not. It's still a problem. I worked hard to buy that tv.
