Many thanks for your touching comments, dear Philip! I am glad to have found another brother, living in another part of the globe, yet very close to hearts! Shall take good care of her and there is no compromise on that!

Thank you for the great effort. Its uncommon to find smd components right beneath the "primary hot section" or "the other side of the PCB" (your words). Its rare even on a double sided PCB. Its just as rare for most technicians to give detailed replies as you do, self-sacrifice is almost non-existant. Please brother, do take good care of our sister-in-law. Be strong. Always do find time to give her company and help whenever necessary. Keep her mind engaged by frequently talking to her, she needs you now more than ever before (this concerns what you wrote elsewhere).

Yes, I am fully aware of the situation described by you. The modern men do not appreciate or rather has time to even think about the efforts that might have gone in before a produce reaches their hands. It is nothing but sheer abuse that we throw away such devices and go for a new one. I feel the respective Governments should pay some incentive to those who are involved in e-waste control such as us. That would make it cheaper for technicians to render services and the sad situation can be reversed.

Many thanks for your involved comments!

Reading can be made enjoyable by anyone who has developed a flair for writing. But the real joy comes from when we enjoy our works and reach a successful result. Jestine Yong is a very generous person who allow birds of the same feather flock together in this forum! Let our tribe increase by his unstinted efforts to roll out technicians from his world class training factory! Many thanks for your comments!

1. If the DC out of the PS Board, we can tap it. Else we need to use a DC to DC booster board. Sometimes the current drawn by the LED driver used might draw more current causing the TV to malfunction. In that case, we need to provide a 12V supply separately.

2. As a general principle, we should not draw it from the secondary supplies. We should try to draw it as a separate connection from the 12V source in the PS Board.

Many thanks for your valid questions!

Yes, primary suspect is always the power supply in almost all the cases. First duty of a technician as always is to check right from the mains cord to the output whenever any PS related problems are suspected. Many thanks for your comments, dear Imoudu!
