Nope...too little time to make solid suggestion

 

any suggestions?

 

Hey....I'll be updating with in few days.

 

alright.

 

I am reviewing the diagrams as time permits. Few days went off grid as I got a unique free opportunity to upgrade my current working PC. Had to move a lot of data here and there and organize my clustered data base.

Thought I'll let u know that I haven't forgot.
check for updates.

 

Poke me.......

 

i'm still here. just curious, haven't messed with the board. but can you test an optocoupler just by using diode function of DMM on collector and emitter?

U need to forward bias the LED inside for the CE to conduct. Without the LED turning on, CE is always open

 

i'm still here if haven't given up on me

 

Awesome thread guys, really enjoyed reading through it.

Rifaa it's amazing to know that there are folk like you out there who are so forthcoming in helping others. I must congratulate you, and whilst I'm on a role.. say thanks to all you guys who give your time to share knowledge and experiance with newcomers like myself.

U are here.....?
OK..I was thinking if there is any way of reheating the chip under the sink...To reflow the solder...it could be a dry joint.

U need an experience in this matter, not to mention a hot gun

 

could i get a cheap hot gun? or does it have to be a certain one?

 

I have an idea....If you are up to it.
Send me the board and I will fix it and send u back

U got nothing to loose except shipping charges

 

For 25 of 533 posts,we could have built a Muntz,
does anyone remember the simple T.V. made By
Muntz, no tolerances.

 

who's Muntz?

 

Go to wikipedia on Muntz T.V.

Good read.

The younger, particularly non-americans here can see where todays advertising "schemes" came from.

As well as the 4-track tape, the 8-track tape and some other neat information.

Loosewire, I was under the impression that you thought AAC WAS the internet.

 

well if i sent it to you, would you need just main board? and also would you post lots of pics and explain how you went about troubleshooting. i would really like to learn. i'll see. but not anytime soon with christmas coming i probably won't have any money to send the thing. and don't know how far you live (shipping costs).

 

I'll Post everything. All I need is main board and the front panel switch PCB.

I will PM my address. Shipping is not much. The SMD Chip is the one I want to look at, Since The sink is glued,. I do not think you can take it off with the chip leaving intact on the board. I doubt I can, but I have a few tricks.

I can make a PSU to run it and form looking at the LVDS connector, I think I have compatible LCD's lying around
