Is it possible to turn a 6020FD into an ELITE? - Page 23

Ok, so after connecting the board in all the proper places, I put the shield back on in front of the audio board, but not the whole back of the television, because I wanted to test it first. I tested it, and it turned on fine, with the option of having pure mode. Success! Great. But then, after I reassembled everything as carefully as I could, I tried turning it on, and nothing. When I say nothing, I mean even when I plug the television in, there isn't even a red light. I tried taking the back off again and checked the cables to make sure they're ok. There's still absolutely no power, or so it seems. Any ideas? I haven't disconnected and reconnected everything--that's my next move.

I'm kind of freaking out now. I honestly don't think the modified board has anything to do with the problem, though, of course, I could be wrong. I think maybe I knocked something out of place (and this could be wishful thinking). Any idea as to what might cause the "no power at all" problem? Visually, I don't find any evidence of any kind of major problem.

Make sure you have the main power switch pushed in. Other than that you need to check all of the connections you made or if you knocked something loose such as the wires on the noise filter where the power cord plugs in.

It was the power switch. I have been up all night, even wondering if I might have accidentally permanently damaged the panel, because I used an electric drill (on very low setting) to unscrew a lot of the outside screws. HOWEVER, I'm currently getting an SD05 error and the TV shuts off. I'm not for sure if the cause is my bad soldering or if it is because I don't have everything tightened up in there.

Unplug all of the connections that you disconnected during the swap. Then reconnect them & when inserting the ribbon cables make sure they are straight & push them in all of the way while holding them snap down the latches. Try this & report back.

Hey Jano,

I finally fell asleep and am back at it. I'm going to painstakingly go through the process again, then re-install the first shield that covers the circuit board in question. As noted earlier in this thread (bottom of page 22), I originally had success, so my hope is my modification took and this SD05 problem isn't that circuit board. Here's the board with the mod in question:



However, I feel like my "mod" was luck. I had the hardest time soldering that tiny bread crumb on to it. I don't feel like the solder I bought (60/40 .033) is what actually made the resistor "take." While attempting to solder it properly, there was a clear liquid that formed around the area, and I assume that was leftover flux from the heated solder. My success came when I pinned that resister down in place with tweezers and touched one end of it with the soldering iron. Along with the clear liquid, it stuck on and seemingly did so properly, but this wasn't the result of my soldering both sides evenly with solder. It seems like, rather, the pads on the board, along with the formed liquid and connectors on the resister itself, bonded together with the resister. So I'm not positive I even did this right. Does that process sound about right? I'll get back to you on the process.

Good luck! If you have problems I sell modded boards. PM me if you are interested.

Would an SD05 error occur because I don't have the television closed up? I've been testing it without the back on it. Also, the error will show every other power on. So, if I turn it off after the error, and then turn it back on, the error will not occur. When it does shut off, due to SD05, the blue light blinks 5 times.

Update: the SD05 error message goes away when I plug in the speakers. Weird, I haven't had them plugged in for a long while, until I "reassembled" the Kuro the first time through, yesterday.

i did it! I did it! Oh sweet victory! I win. The F'ing Gremlins lose!!! After thirty minutes on my hands and knees on the kitchen floor, with a magnifying glass, I found one lost resistor to give it one more go (I had taken the other off when doing trial and error), and it has been a success!!! The circuit board and resistor were remarkably more sturdy than I imagined.

For anyone still interested in this conversion, I have a limited amount of modified AWW1352 boards available for sale. Please PM me if you are interested.

Thank you,
Jan
