What would you call 4 diodes next to a Transformer on a power supply board?

where is the ferrite bead"dude"? I don't see one in the photo

You are basically giving advice on a "pop" sound,thinking it's going to be found by visual inspection alone.If you are an experienced tech with troubleshooting skills you know that's bulls**t.

You know,it does not matter what you or I think.The argument is pointless without a schematic.

Ron,
where is your input on this? do you really think this guy is right?
If you are such an experienced tv guy then tell me,who is right?
Anyone can throw parts at something and fix it, but getting down to the component level and truly solving a problem is what separates the men from the boys

your opinion on my alleged"ADD" is called multitasking.

thirty years of fixing one product?

I work in industrial electronic repair.True,I don't get much bench time as I use to cause I am a Supervisor.

I strictly come back here to read,learn a little, and bust balls on guys like Ron who spend their time basking in the glory of telling people who are here for help that they are incapable of doing a project like fixing their TV's...it defeats the whole purpose of the Forum...why do you want to make people feel bad about themselves when you can help them....I will tell you why,because they have a low self esteem and need to bash people of less Experience (notice I use the word experience,not intelligence) to make them feel superior. I now also come back to bust balls on know it alls who feel the need to be right.
