topstuff;..... I have to straighten you out on some things here.... The OP said in post #1;=>... "see no puffy transistors" That does NOT indicate ANY level of expertise in TV repair/electronic experience... That indicates , to me , that this OP has about nil when it comes to working on TVs etc... So for you to presume he's a mental giant & will "short" pins on an IC when he says "puffy transistors" is really expecting a LOT from this OP... I've been at this over 45 years & I've NEVER seen a "puffy transistor" let alone even heard of any till now.. I've seen chunks blown out of them , split , cracked or burned , but "puffy" , NOPE... Good luck with him finding EEPROMS , (24c32) , pins 7&8 , solder a wire on each pin , & the best of all;..> look on the net for data sheets <.... Do you really expect him to understand what a "datasheet's" purpose IS ??? With his background , you spoke a foreign language... Giving this disclaimer at the end of your post is like closing the barn door after the horses ran out;=>... BTW don't attempt any of this unless you feel confident in what your doing or have an idea of achetecture of the pcb boards .. Some of us here do NOT give out "Factory Menu" codes to OPs for a reason... Some information in an unqualified persons hands can & often does that person OR TV more harm than good... A piece of friendly advice;... UNLESS you are confident enough about an OPs level of knowledge in electronics &/or TV repair , don't give info that can be harmful to him OR his TV... Now most TVs will have a note on the back saying something like no user serviceable parts inside or danger high voltages present When was the last time you saw that label deter ANYBODY from going further ??? I have repaired a few TV sets in the past That raises some questions... perhaps I made a wrong assumption as to to the members ability, and for that I appologise. Geee...Didn't "puffy transistors" send up ANY red flags ???? And could I also mention that from some of the posts i've seen some seem to be unhelpful at best, almost hostile at worst, This isn't "Mr Roberts Neighborhood" !!!! This IS an open forum & we get all kinds of idiots here... NOBODY bats a thousand !!!! and as for the spelling mistake thanks for that, if thats all your input involves you may be better suited to AOL chit rumes or the like of, (did you see what I did there)? (and I appologise for the grammar too, Your spelling errors & grammer can indicate your educational level.... Now for the "piece de resistance";=>... This thread was started on FEB,6th 2011 ..... That's OVER a YEAR AGO !!!! IF you have ANY smarts , you SHOULD have realized that the OP has either gotten his set fixed &/or junked it out by now... So , are you trying to impress us ??? Regarding mel;=>... I would suggest you take your own advice and not pass comment on something you don't know about. He DID.... BTW;.... mel is right with what he said & it WASN"T him who commented on your spelling errors... Have a nice day.... ... Later...Ron.M.... .. Veteran & Retired TV technician
