Samwha are not too bad, it's just the WB series which is known to be defective and was discontinued by the manufacturer in 2002 I believe, the problem is, there must be a large quantity of stock out there because they keep turning up in equipment dated post 2002.

Its usually the mosfet.....always is.....check the supply diodes sometimes on the secondary will cause the mosfet reg trans to short...have done tv repair for 37 yrs....

@Watcher3223 Are they unique tubes? I've never had much trouble finding them at parts places or on Ebay. You usually just need to know the length.

Where do you find these things? I spend all day on craigslist and dumpster diving but can't find a dead LCD/Plasma to save my life (I have been able to find tons of DLP TVs) I could just go out and buy a new TV but what is the fun in that?

PS Was the chip bad or just impossible to find in other than surface mount?

Is it alright to put electronics on a towel like that? No risk of static electricity?
Maxxarcade (22 hours ago)
What does it say on the board, next to the component? It might be the MOV that is used for surge protection.

looks like a similar problem to my TEAC Plasma's SMPSU, shorted across primary AC. I will look at the 2 diodes that i noticed a funny smell around after she popped during testing.
