Inverter Board removal caution
Symptoms / Customer Description
[Primary Symptom Code: 118X ]
Solution
Attached is a bulletin regarding inverter replacement for the WAX3 chassis models. The backlight tubes are no longer wired to the boards. A socket is used for each tube and these sockets connect to the backlights along with the inverter board. I believe there is a probability that someone may remove the screws securing the socket array to the back of the panel thinking that this is how the inverter is removed. If this happens one or more of the tubes will break since they are seated tightly into the sockets. This will require a panel replacement. Only the screws securing the inverter cover need to be removed. Once this is done the inverter board is simply pulled out from the socket array.
