Hi, I'm new here.
I've been searching the net for a good couple of weeks now for advice on repairing this TV. I removed the G power supply board and replaced both Q601 and Q602 components, I'm guessing that it's some sort of regulators. I also replaced the R607 fuse. When I plugged the TV in the fuse immediately burned.
I removed the G board and tried jumpering the fuse legs with alligator clips. I plugged the board in a plug strip with a switch switched off. When I turned the switch on for a second the Q601 component produced an arc to the heat sink. Blew a crack right through the Q601 component - whoaaa!
I removed some of the capacitors and started checking them which seemed to be okay.
Any suggestions on what component could be bad? Also would a G board from a 27 inch model work with this TV? The ID numbers on the board are 171156531 and 1-659-752-31.
Thanks.
