Re: [pcspinheiro] How to make TV malfunction in a manageable way? [In reply to]	Can't Post

Wolf is in charge of the hen house?
I'd try taking it a step higher in the warranty claims ladder.

If all else fails ... Connect power main across one (or more) inputs. (Aerial should do it).

Thanks, that's a good suggestion. But I don't want to completely fry the TV... they might come and say "lightning striking the aerial is not covered" I would like to stay on safe ground and mess something up that I can eventually repair, if needs be. I think the way to go is to mess with isolated capacitors in the power supply, by giving them some wrong polarity voltage to get them leaky enough that the PSU will signal an error. Does that sound logical?

Don't get onto roof. Apply to aerial jack on TV.

Be sure to remove cap from TV 1st:
