Years back, I believe in the long defunct Byte magazine, I read an article about someone who typed 8 bit ASCII while riding a bike, using 4 microswitches on each handlebar grip. I think that would one-up the Teletype terminal.
 
I have tried to find the article without success. The claim was that he wrote his monthly column while on vacation bicycling.

All your posts prove my point that you post without ever adding any value.
 
You sniff my asscrack because you _hate_ that what I say about you is fact.
 
You, Snit, will never stop, and you're proving that for me with every post.

Hi Jeff,
 
Jeff - please do not respond to this post unless you _understand_
1. I never respond to Fox's Mercantile unless/until he attacks me
(Bear in mind he _always_ attacks me!)
2. I'm only proving what Fox's Mercantile is - by pointing to what he does
(Bear in mind what he does proves he's an infantile piece of shit)
 
You're intelligent - you're a helpful person - so you need to know.
o It's not in the least the ping-pong what you just said it was.
 
This is not an even match of wits - for sure - given Fox's Mercantile is a
worthless piece of shit common troll of absolutely zero value whatsoever.
 
I repeat that this is not a ping-pong in the least...
 
For _two_ very good reasons
1. I ignore Fox's Mercantile in _every_ thread where he doesn't attack me
2. Everything I say about Fox's Mercantile is an easily verified fact
 
You can verify that fact yourself, Jeff - if you realize those two things
o Bear in mind I don't feed the trolls - except & only when they attack me.
 
If Fox's Mercantile didn't attack me - you wouldn't see _any_ of this.
o Because I ignore Fox's Mercantile simply because he _is_ a piece of shit.
 
I care that you _understand_ what I'm doing, Jeff...
o Since we are both compatriots in being purposefully helpful people.
 
And I care that you comprehend that I'm extremely well educated Jeff
o What I'm doing is what we're taught to do when cowardly bullies attack.
 
Fox's Mercantile is a cowardly bully who pays no penalty for his posts.
o He trolls my threads _every_ single time I post anything of value.
 
Given Fox's Mercantile is nothing but a worthless piece of shit troll..
 
I _never_ (ever!) never ever (never!) respond to Fox's Mercantile
... unless....
o Unless Fox's Mercantile plays his infantile games as he did here.
 
All I am doing, Jeff, is _proving_ that Fox's Mercantile is clearly
a. The aggressor here (I repeat: I _never_ respond to him otherwise!)
b. A worthless piece of common troll shit with an infantile brain.
 
Jeff - please do not respond to this post unless you _understand_
1. I never respond to Fox's Mercantile unless he attacks me

I just proved to Jeff that you're a worthless piece of shit troll

What I care about isn't you worthless pieces of common troll shit
o I care about intelligent people - and helpful people
 
Like Jeff Liebermann clearly is.
o And I clearly am.
 
I'm sick and tired of your cowardly bullying Fox's Mercantile.
o Your infantile trolling is always detrimental to any thread topic.
 
You, Fox's Mercantile, are the worthless pieces of shit who ruin Usenet.
 
If Jeff thinks this is a ping-pong between you worthless pieces of shit and
me, then Jeff needs to realize I'm extremely well educated and far more
intelligent than you so it's not a ping-pong match of wits by any means.
 
Jeff needs to realize two very important things that I strategically do:
1. I never respond to worthless pieces of shit until/unless you attack me
(& you, Fox's Mercantile, _always_ attack me & always out of the blue)
2. I simply point to what you posted to prove you're a piece of shit
(& you, Fox's Mercantile, _always_ prove to be a worthless piece of shit)
 
I asked Jeff not to respond until/unless he comprehends these facts
o Which all he has to do is look at _this_ very thread to verify the facts.

I'm always amused at the sheer amount of time and effort some posters
put into these useless exchanges - not just the "calling" ones, but
people who ask questions then quibble about what they consider wrong
advice - they must waste hours on it. Wish I had the stamina - I'd put
it to better use.

Jim Jackson,
 
I only need to point to exactly what Fox's Mercantile writes...
o In order to prove the veracity of my claims about him.
 
I'm extremely well educated where I've been taught how to handle bullies.
o My approach is a basic factual defense which you would also likely do.
 
FACT:
Q: Do I _ever_ respond to Fox's Mercantile ever in any thread
where Fox's Mercantile hasn't unilaterally attacked me?
There is only a single one-word answered asked of you, Jim Jackson:
o (yes or no, please)
 
ASSESSMENT asked of you:
What do _you_ make of these initial responses by Fox's Mercantile
o Compared to this initial post by me asking for help from this newsgroup?
 
o <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sci.electronics.repair/k3g4wxmEKAg/YALmWHYhAQAJ>
"Piss the fuck off."
 
And then:
o <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sci.electronics.repair/k3g4wxmEKAg/lMFCjeIhAQAJ>
"*Like I give a fuck what you think*"
o <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sci.electronics.repair/k3g4wxmEKAg/51EhY8c_AQAJ>
"*But it's so much fun*"
o <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sci.electronics.repair/k3g4wxmEKAg/51EhY8c_AQAJ>
"*Because he gets his panties in a really tight wad*"
o <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sci.electronics.repair/k3g4wxmEKAg/B4qUDUK0CgAJ>

"*You're pathetic*"
o <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sci.electronics.repair/k3g4wxmEKAg/gCWEyJ0pAQAJ>
"*But you're also funnier that shit, to watch spin around in circles.*"
o <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sci.electronics.repair/k3g4wxmEKAg/6nhUp2kRAgAJ

o <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sci.electronics.repair/k3g4wxmEKAg/6nhUp2kRAgAJ

o <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sci.electronics.repair/k3g4wxmEKAg/K5BwnwJZAgAJ
"*Not very good at this are you?*"
etc.
 
Note two very important facts _before_ you respond because if/when you
respond, as I will certainly _ask_ you if you understood these two facts.
1. I never respond in any thread to Fox's Mercantile's trolling...
2. Unless, and until, he attacks me, out of the blue, as he always does
 
When I respond to Fox's Mercantile, it's to continue to prove...
a. Fox's Mercantile is a common cowardly bully who always bullies me
b. As such, Fox's Mercantile is a worthless piece of shit common troll
 
Bear in mind... If you respond, I will ask you to stay on _that_ topic.
o Because it's these pieces of shit like Fox's Mercantile who ruin Usenet.
--
Since I care about my credibility, I need you to recognize two key facts:
1. I never respond to Fox's Mercantile unless/until he attacks me
2. I'm only proving what Fox's Mercantile is - by pointing to what he does
 
Fox's Mercantile is a cowardly bullying worthless piece of shit common
troll where the recent thread proves that well-known fact in spades.

While most strings won't be bothered by the tester being connected backward, there are some that will short out the LEDs, particularly if they're already old and have a lot of heat and hours on them. In any case, make damned sure you remove the harness from the LED strips to the main, or you most likely will damage the low side drivers or the IC itself (in your case, it's a combination processor and driver).

If you used the LED tester without disconnecting the harness from the main, you probably damaged the LED drive IC. Shopjimmy lists a complete board set for that TV at less than $40.

Well, that certainly is a readable ON Semi part number. That package
is a TO-220:
<https://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/221A-09.PDF>
with a "style 1" pinout where the silk screened ECB suggest a bipolar
power transistor. The problem is that searching the ON Semi web pile
yields a clock generator and a tiny SOT-23 MOSFET, neither of which is
available in a TO-220 style case. There is such a thing as a 2N5105,
but it's an ancient low power JFET in a small TO-72 can.
 
Dead end, I guess. Back in the stone age, I would have taken the
possibly matching device, put it on a transistor curve tracer, and
tried to deduce the device characteristics. There daze, there are so
many different transistors, that such an exercise would probably be
futile. I suggest you try to find a repair shop that refurbishes
automotive electronics.
<https://www.google.com/search?q=lincoln+navigator+refurbished+dashboard+modules>
or buy something from your neighborhood chop shop (used auto parts
dealer).
