Technosonic LCD3251

Hi Chris
The fault is a rather spectacular wire link destroying blow up around T20 see an earlier picture posted by Alun, as I haven't worked out how to post mine yet,

I have just received the repair kit from OHM - great service BUT unfortunately IC21 (FSD200) was riveted into the antisatic foam damaging its legs and so I hope to get a replacement next week.

I have seen old posts which indicate this is an old known issue and it puzzles me that no one has come up with a solution. Comments seem to indicate that the power supply fails on initial power up, which is what has happens to this and two other power supplies - so perhaps it is a surge or transient problem???
However I hope the next post will be one of triumph

Over the last few months there have been several reports on the Technosonic LCD3251. Most of these are stuck in standby...

Hi, I got this TV stuck in standby with no visible component damage on any PCB and the 5v & 24v are working fine. I assume by your post this may be a firmware issue?

If it is firmware would it be on the removable 'V1_00' BIOS chip or the soldered one on the tuner board or is it one of the other chips?

I have a chip programmer so am I able to re-flash the firmware and if so where can I get a copy of it?

Thanks in advance.

Phill.
