Hi all, does anyone happen to know where I can find a controller panel (p/n X-4032-545-1)? All the searches I've done show it as no longer available. I don't mind getting a used one from an otherwise dead tv, but I don't know where to begin looking. I just got this for free, and one of the reasons is a (rather) large hole in the panel. If I can't find one, I'll be doing some patchwork.
I believe the other issue has to do with the convergence IC's, but I've already gotten the SM, and will look in to that once I get it home, etc.
But if I can't fix the panel, I can't keep it cause the kids would most likely want to poke at the inards.
Any help finding this panel would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
You may be able to go to ptscorp.com, get the toll free number, and call them and see if they can repair the board for you, or if they have any rebuilt ones already. Also another company called Tri-State Module is located at http://www.tristatemodule.com/. Contact them and see if they have any or will work on your board. Good Luck, and let us know if you have any success with this repair.
Thanks for the reply Larry, but it's actually not the controller board, but the plastic panel that the controller board comes through. It's an exterior plastic part that spans the base of the unit from bottom to top. I'll dbl check the SM to be sure I have the right p/n above, but I think that ones right. Here's a pic to show better, hope it helps.
If it is a functional cosmetic part, good luck my friend.
