Bought Memorex MVD2059D 20

IF the Standby Red Light does not come on when you plug in the TV:


1) Check fuse on back panel next to power cord. Pull out cord and pop fuse holder out. On an ohmmeter, it should read 0(short)-that is a good fuse.

2) Check the fuse on power supply board next to power connector. It is soldered onto board.

3) Be careful with this step: With all boards screwed in place, plug in TV and then unplug it. Next take a Voltmeter set on 200 Volts and test large electrolytic cap in middle of board-should have @100-200 volts on it. Do not short the capacitor-big fireball flash explosion if you do!

If 1-3 test OK, then:

D10 is shorted. HER304 in middle of Power supply board near large electrolytic cap. Replace with same diode or Radio Shack 276-1144 3A 400PIV Diode. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH HIGH VOLTAGE PRESENT ON POWER SUPPLY BOARD. UNPLUG POWER CORD!!! OBSERVE PROPER POLARITY WHEN REPLACING DIODE-LOOK WHERE THE BAND IS.

I will drive 4 hours to my sons university and pick up the tv and return to the store for a refund. Like I said before I will not purchase anything with the Memorex name on it.
