I am an electronics newbie and have what appears to be a fairly simple repair to do on my T.V. I have heard from another forum that this problem is fairly common on my model of T.V.
The problem is that when I turn the set on, all I get is bright white horizontal lines across the screen--then the set turns itself off after 5 seconds. I have been told that the problem is the 10 ohm # 3340 resistor is burnt open. This resistor is on the crt board and easily accesible.
My first question is: Should the resistor show visible damage or could the damage be internal only? Upon visual inspection I see no signs of overheating.
The second question is: Do I need to bleed off any residual or stored electricity before replacing the resistor and if so how?
Thanks in advance for any help you are able to give and have a safe 2004.
T.S.
