It's alive! And everything looks correct. The backlight issue is fixed and the brightness and uniformity are back to normal.
I ended up having to replace the main board in addition to the power supply. Total repair cost $60 USD.
I'm pretty happy right now.

Well, it didn't explode, but the picture has serious issues. It doesn't come across very well on camera, but the background should be solid gray. Instead it has dark and bright blotches.
I'll need to check all the connections and maybe reset the logic board. Might be too far gone.

A few weeks ago the power supply in my TV exploded. Magic smoke and all.
This week I found I could get a replacement on eBay for $18 and here we are.
Will the new one immediately go up in smoke when I plug it in? Taking bets now.
(Also why does a power supply for a basic TV need to be so huge?!)

I'm super hype for #Metroid Prime 4 so I took the opportunity to do a 100% playthrough of Metroid Prime Remastered. Truly a masterpiece of gaming, everyone with a Switch should play it. Retro Studios did the impossible making their 3D conversion of the Metroid formula one of the best in the series.

Day 5 of working on my BigMode #gamejam entry. The game is starting to become an actual playable game. Player health and energy are functional along with a simple UI. Enemies can shoot at you and you can shoot back! There's even some very simple graphics. I might just finish on time. #unity #gamedev

Day 3 of working on my BigMode #gamejam entry. Mostly spent on implementing more of the player weapon targeting system and enemy behaviors. Also added some basic FX as I needed them for visual debugging. Close to starting on game flow. Enjoy this screenshot of enemies getting zapped! #unity #gamedev

Shining the Holy Ark has to have one of the craziest starts to a JRPG.
Join a standard mercenary group to hunt a bandit.
When you find the bandit a spaceship crashes into the cave killing everyone.
Aliens come out of the spaceship and fuse with the dead bodies to resurrect them.
Just #sega things.

This modern #dreamcast controller looks kind of funny, like it's missing something. I had to remind myself that Dreamcast had but 1 analog stick.

Today is a very exciting day!! My MiSTER FPGA arrived. I know I’m late to the MiSTER party; I’m glad I finally convinced myself to get one. Now, is there a #mister #misterfpga community on Bluesky??

If you have a lot of wires in your life these are fantastic. They’ve probably been around for a long time, but I just recently discovered them and I’m in love.

One of my best thrift store #retrocomputing find in years. Two brand new 5.25" 1.2 MB floppy drives. These two appear to have been manufactured in or around 1986. One Mitsubishi branded and one AT&T branded. They're still in beautiful condition, like they were manufactured last week!

A project I've been working on for 2 years. A Compaq Portable III luggable PC released in 1987. I found this unit in dire shape at a thrift store and decided to fully restore it. It cleaned up really nice and is now fully functional. Very happy with the results.

The Commander X16 board from WASD Keyboards is wonderful. Having a mechanical keyboard with CX16 keycaps and CX16 branding is well worth the price in my opinion.
