People do this all the time and blow up the audio output IC if any of their external speaker lines are earth grounded. They also cause other major damage and create a serious shock hazzard for themselves and unsuspecting others. It is unusual for an IC to blow up. It does happen but I think I would look for a blown electrolytic capacitor as well. Also use an isolation transformer and again no insult intended, have an assistant close by who can call rescue just in case you've "fallen and can't get up". Lenny

You may be able to fix it. It could be a learning experience, good or bad. You'll never know until you try. Some seem to forget how they gained their knowledge in the first place, and now that they have that knowledge they discourage others from taking the same path they did.

Somebody who can't figure out how to connect a simple pair of cables is going to likely get himself killed if he makes the mistake of removing the cabinet cover. This is really basic stuff.

That's not really the case. I, for one, actively encourage people to 'have a go' with help from those of us who *do* have the knowledge, but by the same token, we have to be realistic in evaluating the poster's current level of expertise, to see if what they have is appropriate for the type of repair they are trying to undertake. TV sets are potentially *very* dangerous, and it would be irresponsible of us to actively encourage someone who we felt might endanger themselves (or others) by 'having a go'. It's called "making a judgement call", and I have not seen any comments in this thread that are anything much more than that. For sure, some replies are couched in less than 'gentle' terms, but with usenet newsgroups, that's pretty much the nature of the beast ... Arfa |
