Always discharge the main filter capacitor before touching the board. It can hold a lethal charge long after the TV is unplugged.When replacing diodes, always use the exact part number or a higher-rated equivalent (e.g., replace a 3A diode with a 5A diode of the same speed).Check the solder joints on the transformers and large diodes. Vestel boards are known for "cold" or cracked solder joints due to thermal expansion. Conclusion
"Open circuit," Ilyas said. The resistor had vaporized, breaking the chain. Without that startup voltage, the brain never woke up. The board never started. The TV stayed dead.
