What I mean by is the silicon used to seal glass or house hold stuff, It can adhere well.
and will hold the fan to the sink perfectly, I do this quite often

 

one screw is enuf to mount the regulator, no need for silicon here.
caps are to eliminate any noise generated by the fan, just in case

but first check the fan for operation

 

how long does it take to stick? cause it says it for glass and stuff.
used silicon for regulator. thought it was like horizontal output transistor or FET's on the power supply that are along heat sink

how do i secure connection?

 

First check if the fan is working.
you have to join the cable and use insulation tape or sleeves to seal the bare wire.

Silicon takes around a few hours to dry

 

will electrical tape be fine?
nevermind just googled it and says Electrical tape (or insulating tape)

 

Yup...electrical tape will be fine
Don't you guys ever do house hold chores.
I though you all will be more familiar with these kinda things

 

can't get the fan working. what does the white wire go to?

all i have plugged in is the red wire to 5VDC and black to ground

wait, what do you mean join cable? cut and solder?

cause have them sticked in and move them around and fan still doesn't work

 

Are u sure that the fan is OK.
If you can measure 5V between ground and left pin that ur reg setup is fine,
I think ur fan is a dud.
Now it wouldn't hurt to try the white wire as a 5V input.
Disconnect red wire and connect white wire instead.
Cut the connector an just twist the wires to test the fan. if it work put some solder on to the joint and insulate it.

 

alright. will do later tonight. girlfriend here and wants to go out. sorry

i will cut connector then i'm sure it will work

 

Are we still repairing the T.V., If so you need flash the pictures
on 50" plasma screen. Make a class room,have him buy more
test equipment. His parents can sell the house for money.
You have so many viewer's,some one should be able to draw
a diagram.

 

Could we get a update on how many curcuits have
been repaired.

 

the fan is working. still not mounted though. silicon did not stick to heat sink. left for whole day with a weight on top

used this kind

why is it not sticking......silicon should stick, it says so's.
glue in big letters

well..it's up to u to get it to hold on the sink...
get a replacement, may be it's date is due

Or may be you are using not enuf,
Put the fan on top and put silicon at the sides, between the fan and the shielding.
get the idea

 

about to head to school. been studying for test tomorrow. buying new silicon today. cheapest one i can find. unless i can just tape it for now or is the fan going to be permanent

 

May be, may be not.
For the time being it needs to be held in place for trouble shooting

 

can i just tape it for now? two sides of fan to the metal shield sides surrounding the heat sink

 

if it holds.
then it's fine

 

finished my test. but have puppy class in 2 hours. and yes tape holds it fine for now unless permanent i will buy some sealant. soldering the wires together. what's next?

 

Since you said the shield get's too hot to touch, we are going to see what happens if we cool it down.
Connect all the cable properly and power up
See how hot the heat sink gets.

Keep in mind that the black connector connecting the LCD and Board which we refer as the LVDS connector is firmly held in place.

Power up the TV and post back the result

 

i still can't get the lcd screen back. been bending the pins on LVDS. they don't have to be like perfect right?
they are all pretty straight so i don't see why i am not getting a picture.
