Yes indeed Allan, it is never late to learn.
I was involved with consumer electronics for over 30 years. Unfortunately the entire industry changed to a point where "real" troubleshooting is pretty much extinct..... so I finally got out, not knowing what to try, decided to try Avionics which turned out to be the best decision I ever made.
As much as I enjoyed being around consumer electronics, the bottom line is you are dealing with planned obsolescence as the consumer demand is for cheaper products.
On the other hand in Avionics it is the exact opposite when it comes to component-level troubleshooting. Due to the astronomical cost across the board, more than 90% of electronics are repaired.
---still volunteer my time here to help out whenever I can.

I am not sure I understand what you are seeing there? Perhaps you are new to serach on the net.
Scribe is simply a digital library that anyone can start and post anything they want to read/share etc.--as long as it is already vailable on the net under "creative commons license"
Did the login/pwd made you think it is a paysite?
There is nothing there about having to pay?
---have no idea who Jason Howard is but I can only surmise that he was probably looking for the same brand and decided to share it?
What is there is a copy/link of what is already available on the ESI forum.
Only difference is it is pre sorted based on a specific brand "Bush". Same thing can be done in the library.
Did you try pointing your mouse over model number column ? It simply takes you back to the database. Wink

Hi while looking for some help in repairing a BUSH LCD TV I came across an American site that you have to pay to see your site which is free to all uses?
