My father gave me a Viewsonic TV -- it's an N2630w, aka VS11749-1M; it's from 2007 -- to try and fix a few months ago. Some capacitors in the PSU went splat. Replaced them and got a blinking red light, so I just ignored it for a while, figuring it was over my head.
Pulled it back out earlier today to have another go. Replaced an obviously faulty 7805 (!) on one of the two logic boards (according to the Service Manual I have, it's the "DTV board"). Now I get two red blinks of the power light and that's it -- and I have to wait a long time for it to give me those blinks again... like a half hour...
Before that regulator was replaced, I was getting at one point six or seven blinks, and at one point three blinks.
Of course the Service Manual doesn't include a list of POST codes for the damn thing, and the "troubleshooting" flowchart is basically ornamental.
Anyone know how to decode those blinks, so I know what to replace next?
