Hi Jestine,
I saw this tv advertised cheap in local website not working as the person said they
were watching it one night when it gave “pop” sound and it stopped working. No
red standby light at all.
It is approximately 7 years old so I thought I will buy it as possibly it is fault with SMPS
an it can be saved. When I opened and inspected visually for faults, I saw IC 7905 exposed
with no covering. I began to test the surrounding components for faults also and R7914 was
also open circuit.
