Toshiba 40" LCD Question

[walterbeers]

Jamie, most of the time you can find panels on E-bay for cheap. Most of the panels on e-bay have been taken out of sets that have cracked screens. I bet a transistor, chip, or something in the power supply on one of the panels shorted out. I think condensation due to temperature changes could have blown something. Tell them not to give up on it, and if they would like I'll take a look at it and see if I can run the problem down. Also could be caps, however with only 50 hours on it, I doubt it. If you can get the model number that would be a big help.

PS- Just so you know, "panel" refers to the screen ("LCD Panel"). The things inside are usually referred to as "boards". Power Supply Board, Main AV Board, Etc.

If there was a "snap' noise from it--that sounds like perhaps an SMPS or inveter issue. BOTH not a hard fix--the SMPS can be repaired--the inverter should be available on ebay from a cracked panel set.
