[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 120534, member: 175144"] You forgot the first and second (and a few other ) rules, 1) Make sure you are knowledgeable in what you want to achieve in the repair. 2) Make sure you can get the spares if you find the TV needs it 3) Have the right tools to hand to start with, including a strong light and a toothbrush. 4) Make sure you have the TV unplugged from the mains before doing anything 5) Before checking the internal circuits, give the set a few hours to discharge all the voltage inside. Various makes have different LOPT circuits, and each one has a different discharge time 6) If you are thinking of repairing ANY TV for a friend or relative, make sure you have appropriate skills and insurance, before offering. Ive once had the output from the LOPT through one hand and was touching a sink with the other, (probably explains a few things about my posts), a thrill I would pass on a second time. [/QUOTE]
