Service info viewsonic N3735W

[guest131313]

When the tv is plugged in it goes from standby(red) to (blue).
All the buttons for power, volume, channel & menu switch voltage at the main board but have no effect.
I checked all the voltages at the power supply and see 5, 12, & 24v.
Supply voltages look clean and no visual defects on caps.
Trying to come up with methods to narrow area of fault.
When tv is plugged in the inverter will power up for a split second as I see the back light come on dimly for that split second then go off. Blue light on power indicator stays on and all power supply voltages appear to be present.
No picture or sound as well as no effect by any of the buttons. Main board appears to have 3.3 and 2.5v supplies for the logic.
Would like some tips to isolate the fault or possibly a service manual.
Thanks

Got hold of a service manual. Found some problem areas. I am able to generate image to the screen and have confirmed functions in menu screen. Power button is functioning properly. Confirmed power supply, LCD display board and inverter board are all functional. Main board works for most part - may have to modify to get output to inverter board to function properly.

Problem is isolated to inverter control circuit.

Repaired!! Traced down to one bad transistor (not blown) used oscilloscope to pin point bad waveform. TV running for 3 days straight so far.

I have the same model. TV comes on for a few minutes then shuts off, possible heat build up issues. Trying to locate the heat sensor. Any chance of getting that service manual from you?
