Pour One out for the Fallen Homie

[HeavyB3]

I got home from work last night (after suffering from a shredded tire on the freeway when its 114 outside) and my 52 inch Sony LCD TV was dead. It turns on, but before it can display a picture it shuts off and gives me 14 red light blinks. I think I can fix it, I found the possible cause of its failure, but my buddy is offering me his 70 inch Sharp TV as a wedding present since he's moving, ironically, to Oregon. So I might just take him up on that offer (and still try and fix the TV. Just to convince Ashley that we don't need her entertainment stand anymore...

If you decide you do not want to fix it and you are going to scrap it, let me know. I like fixing those things. I'm 1 for 1 so far.

Ok. There is a 50% chance its an easy fix. Something called the T-CON Board could be out. I found one for like 75 bucks to replace it. Doesn't look that hard, but who can turn down a free 70 inch smart tv?

I know I couldn't. Good luck.

Tested it out, was the T-Con board. Bought a new one for 76 bucks, should be here by the end of the month for me to test it. I hope it works. Although, then I'll have to decide what to do about the 70 inch tv. Hah.

If you don't want the 70" TV hit me up on IM. Heck I would pay for shipping for that TV.

Got the part I needed today, but managed to strip the little screws on the heatsink to get the part off. Damnit!

I got them out, installed the new part and it still didn't work. Screw it. I'm taking the 70 inch TV and not looking back!

Wall mounted that sucker. I've straightened it all up since i took this picture, but this is shortly after wall mounting. My Sony had a nicer picture, but the Sharp is pretty nice too.

Looks good, but I'm a solid oak man when it comes to my centers of entertainment.
