UPDATE: The thing has been sitting in the shed pulled apart all week.
I was about to order a new back light inverter for $55 delivered from the US, but I thought, have one more looksie cOOter.
It helps to make sure all 16x back light CCLF tubes are in their socket holders.
If only one is disconnected, none will fire up.
Tube #5 wasn't in it's holder, thus the high reading on #5 the other day.
Yeap, so I pulled transformers off the back light inventor board for no reason.
OK, it's working now - I guess my re-soldering passed.
Chopper was a great help as well going over everything with his yoyo. No broken strings
It still might be a bit dicky on cold starts with a slight blink.
Brother Darren was using a power drill in the shed behind me today, and the 200 watt TV would go blank as if the PCB wasn't getting enough power. (we share the same 240v 10amp extension lead from the house 20 meters away)
Not sure about that yet.
Now it's back down stairs on the test bed. (oldies living room TV stand)
