Flat line....or lose the whole tuner/IF section. I'm stumped by the completely dead tuners, but have a handle on most the vertical problems on one. It's an "almost perfect" set now. Just has a very slow height issue. Starts out about a half inch underscan....and grows to perfect after like fifteen minutes. A recap of that sweeps board of just the 50uf cans will usually get you to something "not quite perfect yet"...but easier to work with as you go to the smaller cans. Almost all those 50uf cans show as completely open. I replaced them with 47uf ones since they were common and I have a BUNCH of them new. I'll find some 50s at some point and open this TV6U back up and finish it right.
I'm not sure if I have EVER seen a (small) LCD set die yet...DO they?? I really only have a few, since I don't find LCD as novel as CRT sets. I would likely just toss any dead LCD set since it's certainly to be surface mount stuff...and things I can't go get.
My pride is that I got and found most these sets broken...in some cases VERY broken, and had a lot of fun getting them to live again.
