Hi my cheap Draper Plasma just let the magic smoke out.
It was working fine but the last time I used it it went bang, stopped working and the screen went blank.
The fan was still running so it was getting power.
I turned it off, left it for a while and took the cover off.
Pretty obvious where the magic smoke came from
Is it worth trying to fix it?
I am able to remove the daughter board and change components but is this the issue or is it something more serious and this is just a result of a deeper problem?
I have a decent meter etc but fault finding inverter electronics are not my strong point.
If its just a few resistors, diodes and caps I can cope with that.
Any ideas?
