Hyundai HTP4240 fault (LG PDP42V6 chassis)

Hi P/D,

Interesting thought - replaced Y-sus as I had one from a Screen Smash, and as knowing folks said I needed to, even after those 33mfd caps were replaced.

Wonder about any further thoughts -  ?   Chris.

After researching the market, I decided to scrap the set.

Looking on ebay and watching a few, these seem to sell in working order for about £150.  The problem is their weight is too much for cost effective postage, so limited to collection only.  Indeed there was a fully working one on auction in Newport, Wales, that didn't sell at £0.99 (I wish I was closer, I would have snapped that up)

So it would have cost me about £80 to fix it to get no more than £150 when I sold it.  So I decided to dismantle it.

I've sold £50 worth of boards so far and should get at least as much when I sell the rest of the good boards, a bit more if I can sell the panel.

Sometimes the art of making money from tv's is to know when NOT to repair them.

Hi P/D,

Guess you're right - have spent loads of cash just to try prove a repair point and sold sets for less than repair costs.

Well, starvation fends off heart problems for an ex-smoker, so checking into DIY drink - treading local sugar beet - hard on the toes  - Chris.
