I agree with erik blankers and pepper about the board swapping instead of fixing on the component level but it still was a good article as one can always learn from others mistake, thanks for this article.

Not very smart this repair.
Because:
What kind of bulb do you use: 220v or 12v for example.
And what kind of power are these bulbs then?

TIP:
by shorted electronics: your power supply board, take of the powercable and shorted the low power voltage outputs.
Then take a Ohm meter and measure the Ohm whit one tip to the contact of the fuseholder , and the other tip of the measurecable to the ground of the board.
then the same whit the other contact of the fuse holder.
When the meter gives zero Ohms you have a short circuit on the board.
Its very simple.

The good news is the old Master Board has lots of components I will recycle in the future.

$23.00 is not much here in the USA so it was cheap to buy these used replacement boards and this kept the TV set(E-WASTE) out of the Land Fill.

I agree with Pepper, I would off like to read more component and trouble shooting repairs not board changing repairs.

I wouldnt call this a repair as such since you didnt really reapir anything. This is more like throwing things away which is not cheap for the customer or good for the enviroment. If you cant repair on a component level then you will have fewer happy customers. No-one wants to pay for your "service" of swapping boards and the boards themselves - too expensive and encourages customers to throw away the whole tv instead.
