Hello everyone!
I recently purchased a broken 42'' westinghouse lcd for 300 dollars. It had a solid amber light, and I thought this was fixable via the firmware flash. woe is me. The original symptoms besides the constant amber light included a smell of fried electronics near the power supply area and a constant electrical clicking when the power button was depressed. This led me to believe that since it wasn't fixable from a firmware flash that it must be a power issue. I purchased a replacement power supply for $100 with shipping and installed the new part. Interestingly enough the symptoms have reversed. The electrical clicking now starts the second you provide power to the motherboard. It stops when you depress power button. The amber light is still constant, i am unable to flash the firmware still.This leads me to believe that either this second psu is also bad, or my motherboard is faulty. I am going to have multimeter readings tomorrow. . .
Please help. I don't want to have to drop another $100 in parts. Thank you.
