I did change the video engine myself after the reference for the faulty one were provided. I get a new board (might be a refactored one) and it took me around 30mn to install the bew board in the TV. It is not a complicated operation to do, as long as you have the service manual and the right screwdriver 🙂
I am always open to learn. the gap is going to be big as I went directly into computer science and the electronics I learn wheren’t practical… But why not !
I took a couple of pictures on the back without the plastic case :
I did not notice an exploded capacitor or something that look deficient (aka burn or something), but my skills are low. Dust, I saw a lot of dust… 😉
Anything to look in particular ? I can also buy a working one and switch parts. This one is in very good cosmetic condition and I was looking for a grey one. The black one is more common to find around Paris.
By any luck, do anyone know someone in Paris (France) area able to repair TV CRT ? I search a little bit with Google but no luck so far. CRT technicians are probably all retired… ;).
