TOSHIBA 32WLT58 POWER SUPPLY
dave.sweetman:
Hi Phil, Im about to do the same thing as you with your Toshia TV. How did you get on, did it work or did you bin it?

I have a Toshiba LCD 32WLT58 model and have a similar power supply problem. I have taken it to a local registered Toshiba repairer who has advised that the whole power supply board needs replacing but that when they tried to order it from Toshiba they said the part was no longer available and they got the same response from their other suppliers. The quoted cost of replacing the board (before I was advised the part could not be sourced) was also prohibitive - over £200 nearly as much as a new 32 inch LCD. They then offered to scrap the TV on my behalf.
Is the above reasonable or should I try and source the board elsewhere (there seem to be many on ebay and the last poster had one (presumably used now). Advice gratefully received.

Probably they want to replace the board with a new one so as to be able to guarantee the repair!
I have known one or to who will say 'its this or that' and offer to scrap the set and then go repair it and sell it as a reconditioned..... so always beware when folks offer to scrap your sets - they might just want a part out of it for a repair! Sorry, but I'm speaking from experience here as it happens to some folks who bring me their sets to repair.
I suppose the board could be repaired, but first you would have to consider changing all the aging electrolytic capacitors, they may look OK but might easily have gone high ESR, then it's down to finding the fault!
You don't say what voltage checks if any you have done.... this could prove very helpful, guessing what it is could prove expensive.
