Hi guys ,Have got this tv .No front light on it have checked all usual things but it seems to be a common fault . Everybody says just replace the power supply . Just asking if anybody has actually found the fault on the board . Have got 330 v on smoothing cap but no 5v output from power supply. thanks

Don't be too hasty to replace the power supply, the front LED is actually lit by the main board. However, Jordan gets the cigar. IC203 is a known problem. Only 8 pins so should be easily replaced.
