Is anyone still modding inverters for the T601-Boe-Hydis Screen Build?
I had an inverter go bad on a T601s with a Boe Hydis HV150UX2-100 Screen I built sometime ago. Modding a new inverter is outside my ability.

Re: Is anyone still modding inverters for the T601-Boe-Hydis Screen Build?
I have stopped doing them due to advanced age.
But here are some pictures if you can find someone to do the mod for you.
13R1014/13R1015 Sumida:

42T0078/42T0079 Hitachi:

The colours mentioned on them correspond to the wires that are used on your current inverter.
RED = Power/Plus/+
BLACK = Ground/-
WHITE = Brightness Control/PWM
BLUE = BackLight
Unsolder them or cut them off from the faulty one and resolder them onto the new one.
How to remove the transformer from that inverter can be seen here.
