Turnip:
Hi Cat,

Has a fuse which is OK.

Pretty convinced it's the power control chip, as a known issue with some T/cons. Just don't fancy replacing it, as it has
no pins. Some folks say a new chip just 'flows' into position with bottom heat.

Never known anything to 'Flow into position' - Usually quite the reverse. Mind you, I'm building up such a collection of duff
t/cons that no-one cares to pay return postage - Might have a go as the chips are cheap - Chris.

Hi Chris, green/orange flashing means it's busking for a firmware upgrade. USB stick, turn the TV on and insert the stick, then wait. Light will flash white for a long time and it will eventually come on.     Bruce

Turnip:
Thanks Bruce,

But if the set doesn't fire up, as it doesn't with two out of four T/cons - Guess use one that does where the set fires up with sound and back-light, but a blank screen. Deff. worth a punt - Chris.

hi turnip
nice lady on utube showing how to replace that type of chip in iphones tried a few and definatly drops in ,works best with there flux as liquid runs off before it drops

Six of one, half a dozen of the other. The orange/green flashing doesn't mean that T-Con is faulty. It is the TV's way of saying "come on you slacker -get your finger out and upgrade me".               Bruce
